Baking.

I’ve been baking a lot because I have a lovely audience – choir on Thursday nights and church service on Sundays. We all get to try a slice a home and then I bring take the rest away and it all gets demolished within two hours with no one eating 10,000 slices of cake/cookies. The chocolate things always go first, but sometimes you don’t want to bake a chocolate thing. So I baked this apple cake – so delicious. Because I have only so much time, I’ve unfortunately kind of replaced the hours working out with baking which somehow seems worse than just not working out. It seems the total opposite of working out somehow, except you get a lot of people enjoying baked goods and telling you that they are enjoying baked goods.

It’s fun trying things out, but you slowly realize people want only the regular cookies: chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, snickerdoodles, sugar, peanut butter, ginger. Does anyone want a miso cookie? or toffee cookie? not really.

  1. Yep. Just normal cookie things. They are classic for a reason. If I bring chocolate chip cookies (Tollhouse recipe) they are gone in two hours. If I bring spiced chocolate chip cookies (Levain Bakery dupes) they might sit there for a couple of days before I take them home and eat them all myself. Know your audience, I guess!
