Hot Plate

I just found out that there is not an oven in the campus apartments that we will be living in our first year in Thailand. In fact, most places do not have ovens. It never occurred to me that a place would not have an oven...goodbye homemade meatballs. It is a hot country though and using an oven would certainly make the small apartment that we will be living in ridiculously warm. It certainly will be an adventure to learn how to cook just using a single hot plate! Either that or we'll be eating out a lot...hello yummy Asian food!
