For My Heart’s Salvation and Calm… I Bake! Although it is common for everyone to experience one or two bad days a week, every one of us has different ways dealing, adjusting and coping with stressful occurrences we are dealt with at our most unguarded day. I am very thankful and do unabashedly admit that I am proud of myself for having learned to bake at a very young age. I will never be one who sees baking as just a hobby, a means of income or something one performs to satisfy a sweet tooth or a wicked craving for baked carbs. Baking to me is what I do to make myself calm, to regroup, to think more sensibly, to have control of an outcome and to make something that I know will not disappoint not only my palate but also my ego in a way. Because I know that whatever comes out of my oven is good and honest and will pacify the temporary chaos of physical and mental stress I have that moment. Baking is my retreat, my solace from non-sensible things. It is my rehab activity where I am put in control and is obliged to measure with precision. At exactly 11:08am today, my bad day showed up and thankfully it only stayed for two hours. I dealt with it the best way I know how… I took out my mixing bowls, wire whisk, spatulas, sifter, measuring cups and heart-shaped cookie cutter, and I made Heart Scones and Devil’s Food Cake with Dark Chocolate Fudge (*photos and recipes tomorrow). I did not only cheered myself up, but I cheered my family as well. So I still win at the end of the day. :)
