Baking: I can do it.

So. Here we are. Thursday (?) night and I should be asleep by now, but boyfriend was all like SOME KIND OF THING WITH BAKED GOODS NECESSARY TOMORROW and I was like "TIME FOR WINE" and then some time passed and here we are.

Anyhoo... for those of you who know me, and for the remaining 2-6 people from the US and Germany who do not but still awesomely read my blog (YOU ARE MY FAVORITE!!!) ... I have no domesticated abilities. I can't fold a fitted sheet, and I barely know how to put dishes in the dishwasher. But I figured, "f it" and opted to make banana chocolate chip muffins because... YOLO. And that's that.

Long story short I took a bunch of pics until my phone died of me attempting to make muffins while ... having... refreshments.

So here is my photo blog of producing muffins that may or may not be best used as bird feed or potentially door stoppers.

You're welcome.

...thats right; Copy and Paste. Deal with it.



Step 1: Collect ingredients. Put dry things in one bowl and wet things in another.

Flour: get it in der.

More flour: cuz i said so.

Shit. When did that get there and does it count toward  1 1/2 cups of flour?
yeah whatever keep going!

WHEN DID THAT GET ON MY FACE FUCK IT

2/3 cup sugar in iceberg format? Yeah whatever

SUGAR ICEBERG LOVES IT

Step 2: Find a blender. Put two old bananas in it. Blend them. (This = not rocket science)

WHO GAVE ME A BLENDER THIS IS SICK

This is my happy face. So. Thank my orthodontist from grade 8.

Add bananas. One of which must be minimum 4 months old and from the freezer and look kind of like a flaccid.... balloon. A flaccid balloon. 

Step 3: Pass time once things are in the oven. Annoy dog. Rethink this whole baking business and question why the hell you started baking muffins this late at night. Reconsider your life in general. Have an existential crises. Check Facebook.

Time passes.
Check Facebook.

DOG WANTS TO SEE WHAT IS IN THE OVEN

....or maybe she doesnt and I'm just making her look. Who knows... mysteries of life.  

Step 4: Be impressed that SOMEHOW this wasn't a total disaster (given that I woke up this morning and didn't initially even remember baking anything)

Can pass for edible!

LOOKS LIKE MUFFINS! #notafailure #moveovermarthastewart

This morning I checked them (for science!) and they taste like muffin which is kind of miraculous if you ask me!

So there is my journey through baking. 

This is also an example as to why with regard to ideas for my blog should be (when first getting invented), baking didn't make the cut. It is WAY easier (for me) to write up sarcastic funny-ness than try to do something with an expected outcome.

And now I'm off to work again! WHEE!

Happy weekend, readers of Dr. Ang. !
