For those of you who don't know me, I have an unusually varied list of interests. For example, I really like sports cars and motorcycles. My car back in California was a 2007 Subaru WRX named Wroxanne. Get it? Roxanne, with a W? Because it's a WRX... oh nevermind. I also really love power tools and building things and my dream job is to flip houses (buy up old houses, remodel them and sell them off), much to the chagrin of my web designer husband who doesn't like to work with his hands at all. On the other hand, I can be really girly. I knit and crochet and sew. I also really, really enjoy science. My degree is in biochemistry and I absolutely love pharmacology and quantum physics, but I'm also very creative and really enjoy painting and drawing. I've always wanted to do other artsy things like make jewelry and design clothing.
I'm not a very "homey" person. I don't enjoy cleaning. I know few people do, but I don't even get those random moods where I just have to clean. That's not to say that I won't do it, and no, my house is not all gross and messy or anything. I have a husband who takes care of all that. Well, I help him sometimes.
And don't try to make me feel bad. I'm away from the house for 11 hours a day ok?
Back to my point. One place in the house where I shine is in the kitchen.
*pause for women in the kitchen jokes*
Ok, I absolutely love, love, LOVE to bake and cook and bake. My ideal house would have the kitchen right next to the bedroom so I could wake up and immediately start baking.
Kidding.
One of my favorite things is to bake for my colleagues at work. Not only does it give me a chance to try out new recipes, but it means I can bake whatever I want and not have it lying around the house for me to eat. And it makes my coworkers love me. I have been a bit of a slacker lately though on account of being really stressed at work and just wanted to do absolutely nothing on the weekends and not really having the extra cash to buy ingredients.
One of the struggles of baking for people at work is trying to find single-serving recipes. I've grown tired of just baking cookies. Cookies can be good, but I'm just tired of them. So I've decided, just a few minutes ago, yep, this morning, that I'm going to take it upon myself to find recipes which are not made for single servings and try to convert them. Fun huh? Maybe not for you, but for me? Yep. Party time.
So I'm probably going to put some of my single-serving exploits up here. If I remember. Stay tuned.
With this, I'll leave you with my absolute FAVORITE baking blog. Not only is this woman an absolute crack up but her recipes and photos will make you drool. I've made like 6 or 7 of the recipes from her blog and they are scrumptious. I highly recommend the chocolate cobbler... and the magic peanut butter middles... and the chocolate chip scones... or pretty much everything.
