First of all, sorry I haven’t posted anything new in awhile (well, at least by my standards). I haven’t really had anything to say so I thought I would spare you of my meaningless ranting for a couple of days.
Life has been good, real good or bad, real bad – sometimes it’s hard to distinguish between both because they seem to follow each other around so closely. I don’t think I can complain, it’s not horrible or anything, just kind of “meh” and it seems to me that me whining about certain things or people in my life is a moot point. When times like these come around I try to live by a certain mantra – “Such is life”, however sometimes that turns into “Suck is life” but I try to keep my spirits high nonetheless. Half the battle is knowing when life sucks and dealing with it in a positive manner.
Lately I have found myself baking for all the events I have been invited to, showing up with baked good seems to be always welcomed but I think I should have rethought my plan because 1) I don’t bake often and 2) I have come to the decision that I don’t really like baking. It seems to take a lot of effort and focus to bake scrumptious squares and although I don’t mind the effort, I’d rather not have to focus. For instance, last night I was “trial” baking because I had never actually baked either recipe and I didn’t want to screw it up and have no alternative but to bring in crappy Butterscotch squares to people – I wanted everything to be fawesome (you know frikkin' awesome)… And yummy. So, last night I baked and I was stumped because it didn’t turn out exactly how I remember it to be so I retraced my steps and realized that instead of putting a half of cup of butter I had actually put in an entire one. Now, it didn’t ruin anything too much – it just made it different. The point was, I learned my lesson and the second batch is what the irksome call “magnifique”.
I am glad I took the time to make both desserts ahead of time, I won't have to freak out this evening with getting everything together for tomorrow's potluck. Well done, Lyndy - well done, indeed.
