Dependence Day

Dear Self,

Please stop thinking you can bake. You cannot. Let's review: Snickerdoodles? Burnt on bottom. Blueberry muffins? Flat and dense as Heidi Montag. First attempt at wheat bread? Pita Bread. Never rose. Second attempt at wheat bread? Weighed more than a cinderblock. Brownies from scratch? Sticky, raw in middle, and disgusting. Husband would not even touch. Even the Golden Graham Smores, which just required a microwave and a wooden spoon, NO BAKING REQUIRED, failed. Tonight it was a cake from a mix, with a frosting from a can. Tasted ok, but looked wretched. Burnt around edges. Crumbs in frosting. So STOP baking, or thinking you can bake, or wondering if you could bake that, because the answer is NO. Stick to cereal, and add milk if you are feeling adventurous. Depend on an actual bakery to provide you with baked goods, or your mom.
