Who bakes with no running water? A broken water main a couple of streets over had me confined to the house today...I didn't make it into the shower before it was turned off and I just can't leave the house greasy! So I ventured into the kitchen, spotted the fresh blueberries, and decided to bake. Everything was moving along fine until I came to the step of cutting the butter into the crumb topping. There's only so much you can do with a fork; I always use my hands and this time was no different. Never once did I think about water or lack there of...until I tried to wash my hands. Urgh!
