Cooking adventures, Part 1

I don't have an oven in Tamsweg, so it's nice to be able to bake when I come back to Salzburg. I took advantage of that this weekend in being able to bake two different kinds of cookies (Vanillehörchen, but from a box, and chocolate chip oatmeal cookies, at the recommendation of Jill). Both turned out quite delicious (although without chocolate chips and a measuring cup, the latter cookies turned out a bit to oat-mealy and not very chocolatey).

I also tried my hand at a simple recipe for Indian frybread tacos from The Pioneer Woman Cooks.
 (Just as a note of clarification, these are Native American. I researched a bit on the origin of this "staple" and found out a Native American tribe, I believe the Navaho, created them when they were forced out of their land. On the march, they didn't have any of their staple ingredients, so they simply macguyvered this frybread from the ingredients the government provided.)

 I read about this chef in another blog and have since fallen in love with the ease and deliciousness of her recipes. To get some further use out of the oven, I also made the baked root veggies she calls "candy"-- Here's an image of the finished tacos with side dish of root veggies:

As my final cooking adventure before the long weekend ends, I'm going to go make some pancakes!

UPDATE: Pancakes have officially failed. Not sure if it was the wrong flour or what, but they are greasy, wet, and uncooked in the pan. Feeling really bad about it, but it happens.
