When I first moved into this place I didn't have a reason to turn the oven on for over two years. The first time I did it blew up! Mine had come from a bad batch and the real estate had wondered why I hadn't had the same problems as everyone else.
So with those thoughts in mind I decided today was the day to begin my journey. Baking from scratch has always scared me so I decided to start out with something simple - a packet cupcake mix.
As I stood in the aisle of the supermarket I again remembered why I always decide this is just too hard and go and buy what I want instead. The packet mix called for eggs, butter and milk to be added. How hard could that be I thought, then I saw the amount of choices I had for these three simple ingredients. Didn't have my camera with me to show you how daunting choosing was - but something tells me your not shocked by the huge variety to choose from.
So after about 20 minutes, choices made and home they came.
Took the lovely new pan I bought last week out of its wrapping and why I don't know, put it in the oven. Well actually I didn't put it in the oven - it was too big! This is why I don't cook - it's all too hard.
Everything is nicely put away for now. I'll buy a new pan during the week and try again next weekend.
