When Life Closes the Oven, Open the Dryer

Ever had one of those kitchen moments where everything seems to be working against you? Last night, I was all set to bake my favorite rosemary focaccia, but my partner had already claimed the oven for his famous roast chicken. For a second, I felt defeated—until inspiration struck. I remembered a tip from my grandma: "Warmth is warmth, no matter where it comes from." So, I ran our clothes dryer on high for three minutes, then quickly popped my dough inside (on a clean tray, of course!). The gentle heat was perfect for proofing, and the dough rose beautifully. It made me realize that sometimes, a little creativity is all you need to turn a kitchen crisis into a win. Have you ever had to improvise in the kitchen?
