the sweetest thing (i never thought i would think so) would be for someone to offer to bake you chocolate chip cookies.

at times i feel this immense urge to ask,

'what do you not know (how to do)?'

----------------------------------------------

inspired by the recent events and triggers in my life i attempted to try to bake something with my less-than-satisfactory-mini home oven. It was fine, only that it caused a power trip (my mom didn't tell me it was malfunctioning), made me panick for about half an hour (the fridge was affected), then after troubleshooting for goodness knows how long finally i managed to get things working again and then i had to use the mini toaster that we use to cook nuggets to do the baking instead.

the brownies turned out brownie-like (to my delight, i already wasn't expecting much considering it was cooked using a nuggets-toaster), but the cookies turned out too cakey/brownie like so i poured the whole cookie mix into the tray and cut them into slabs so they can masquerade as brownies instead.

They pass off very convincingly as brownies, in fact.

i think i just have no flair for being around in the kitchen-

(aside from being able to crack eggs cleanly single-handedly and fry them decently)

so in the end it all turned out surprisingly decent but i feel lethargic already.

who said baking was therapeutic?
