Rules For Being A Cat.

These are all SO TRUE. Cats are horrible creatures (but also the best).

I only like Sunday if I'm terribly hungover.
That’s all Sunday is good for, recovering from hangovers. But since I’m done with that for a while (I’ve become a not-so-great-drunk) they have become worthless again.

First. Make up your mind to be happy. Happiness is largely a matter of self-hypnotism. You can think yourself happy or you can think yourself miserable. It is up to you. Learn to find pleasure in simple things. If you can’t go to the opera, you can turn on the radio. Nail on your face the…

It took me about two months to get over the caffeine withdrawal when I stopped drinking coffee. I wonder how long it’d take to beat this. I don’t think I’ll ever know.

I give myself a few days, tops. Though honestly, I only mean this to be a little break. But a week would be preferable.

And it was some of the most fun I’ve had in the kitchen. It reminded me a bit of when I made a pie in my middle school home ec class. SO I’ve decided that I am going to give pie making a shot. I’m pretty excited.

I want to learn more about the science of baking
Since I am hopeless at baking but would like to be able to learn from my mistakes. This whole trial and error thing would be a lot more meaningful if I could understand what was going on.
EDIT: Nope, trial and error is way more my thing. Reading about flour and sugar ratios is just as bad as reading a chem textbook. Oh wait! That’s because baking is chemistry. I had thought the...
