i spend a lot of time baking because putting ingredients together and making something homemade makes me really happy. however, it is not really that do-able for me to set aside time for baking. instead i try to make it occur as i live my normal life. this results in a lot of mistakes and frequent burns. but it makes me really happy. one day i totally forgot about the cookies in the oven and they ended up burned to a crisp, the kind of burned where they will smell the whole house up if you don't take them outside. so i took them and put them on the screened-in back porch. the next day we look out the window and find
