...smell better than they taste. The idea is better than the reality. The cook is not up to par. It has been at least two weeks since I have set foot in the kitchen to bake. I've made many appearances otherwise. To eat. Could it be, that in two short weeks I have lost my touch? Definitely. Two batches of cupcakes (one "belated birthday batch" for Sarah and one "trying a new recipe batch" for me) that are
blecky. New word. Yucky and
bleck (which is apparently a combination of
bleh and
eck). Today, I had hoped to cheer myself up with a revitalization of baking. I volunteered all morning at Gabe's school, managed to make a little boy cry, lost my blog momentarily in cyberspace---all
before the two botched batches. I would love to be able to troubleshoot, but I just don't have a clue as to why the same recipe, made by the same aspiring baker, with the same equipment and ingredients, can turn out wonderfully one time and catastrophically terrible the next. It might be time to retire this baking shindig...I mean sham. I was thinking of taking on a new adventure anyway...the hunt for Oahu's best pizza. Pizza-
ing weekly (and blogging about it of course) in search (and with a little help from my friends I hope) of the tastiest slice. Although c
upcaking just rolls off the tongue a whole lot better...
