Depression Baking.
I thought I had finally found my people! People like me who desperately try to stave of depression by baking. Staying up until the sun rises baking cakes, cookies, brownies, cupcakes, anything to keep us from crying and thinking about how our ex-wives are sailing the world on a yacht. Then, throwing it all away.
When I saw Depression Baking on Google I thought, “Finally, a support group for people like me!” But, no. Apparently, the depression they are talking about is the economic downturn in the 1930’s. Their Depression Baking is baking without milk and butter and other expensive ingredients.
My depression baking is making double frosting so I can eat an entire bowl of it while still having enough for my cake. I don’t use expensive ingredients either, but that’s because I’m on work disability and make no money.
Oh well. Guess I’m still alone.
I can’t sleep because my wife and Thom are laughing so hard in the bedroom. (I’m sleeping on the pull-out for now until we get this Thom situation under control.) So, I made cupcakes. This is from the second batch which turned out MUCH better. I really like it when the frosting has the “erotic-caulk” look. And the shinier the tinfoil the better. Inside was still a little wet, but I couldn’t wait the entire 20-25 minutes, I was hungry now!
I’m hoping by the time I eat them all my wife and Thom will have fallen asleep. If not, a souffle, perhaps?
