The day has improved, though in a (to me) lolarious way.

So, I twiddled my CV and found another couple of places to send it to. Walked into D to deposit my cheque into my account (only to find that the statement I received this morning was c.£40 out - putting me further into my overdraft. I was pissed at the time but now I am considerably more zen). Sorted out things for The Sister. Came home, decided I was going to use today to bake. Hemmed and hawed, comment-spammed with wliberation who is a Food Guru. Decided to make some cupcakes (note: they're actually muffins). Walked back into D to buy ingredients and cases. Came home. Fiasco began.

Basically, I've been in the kitchen for the past hour or so, sorting out ingredients, then putting them together. My first egg was grossly rotten, so I had to make do with 3 eggs and a splash of milk (which... was probably a mistake. We'll see). As I was putting the batter together, I was Very Suspicious about my mixture. But, I was zenning, so it was all go with it, M, go with it. Scooped mixture into cases, put said cases into the over.

The muffins are now cooling. In all likelihood they are way too spicy (I forget that The Mother's ground chilis are way spicier than the ones I was using in Soton) so I'm going to have to warn The Sister to eat them with vanilla ice cream, which isn't the worst that could happen. I'll find out how they taste in a moment. AM NERVOUS.

The reason I find this hilarious is because (a) I hate it when I start cooking and something goes wrong (see: eggs) and (b) I have meddled with the ingredients a bit and that's generally A Bad Plan. I am kind of tense! I am kind of excited! I have tied a balloon to a bottle of bubbles for The Sister! Possibly I should take pictures. (Nope.)

edit: Did I mention, also, that the kitchen scales are BROKEN? Yeah, that made things 100x easier. Sigh. But! The taste test! Not really too spicy at all, in fact, just the after taste. Needs to be sweeter, though. Or more chocolatey. Hmmm. But, yay, mostly a success!

You actually succeeded in making me drool over those muffins.

The most fun thing about making muffins, in my opinion, is eating the dough xD
