Baking can be an incredible form of stress relief. You can turn your rage into chocolate chip cookies. Transform your anxiety into tiramisu. Mutate your malaise into madeleines. Should I keep going? No? Ok.
If you're the type of person who can whip up an olive oil cake with no recipe and 45 minutes, I respect you. Some people just have it in their bones. They know how much butter to add when to mix in the eggs, how long to bake, and at what temperature. Of course, years of learning, trial, and error go into this, but I'm the type of person who won't internalize a recipe unless I've made it 10 times, even then I'm probably consulting the cookbook. But whatever kind of baker you are, I hope you're the kind who enjoys memes. What else are you going to do while you're waiting for your hot cross buns to rise?
