It took an awful batch of muffins, two (not) puffy pancakes, and everything Kannagi has made in the last two weeks for us to figure this out. In fact, I then remembered that the top element had sparked and flamed while I was cooking once (and hadn't worked since, apparently). Oh well, we'll be home soon.

Our oven is broken. We figured this out today making an apple tart (even though it's not Thanksgiving). It was burned on the bottom, but raw on the top. I insisted to Kannagi that something was wrong, and she discovered that the top heating element on the oven wasn't working.
