silly things

A couple of weeks ago.. no, actually it began even further back. It must've been after we got back from Seattle, way back in April. The bread I'd been baking regularly since December had started to fail. I wasn't sure what it was. The dough wasn't coming together into that smooth, silky feel on the first knead, and it wasn't really rising, either.

I've noticed that my cookie & cake baking goes a bit weird in June/July/August when it's really hot, and also in November/December/January when it's really wet. Never quite figured out why. Doesn't affect muffins though.

Hmm. I also made a batch of ginger cookies, and those turned out really well. Quite mystifying, this baking thing.

I miss baking :(

No time. And too bloody hot to use the oven :(((

I find I've been turning to baking (even when it's hot) to make myself feel better about things, lately. I try to vent the apartment by directing the flow of air by putting the fan in a window.
