contradiction

i got all worked up while i was in the kitchen this evening as i was piping macaroons onto the baking trays. gosh i never knew such a simple recipe with a seemingly simple set of instructions can be outrageously difficult. i know these french fellers are the most difficult cookies to make, requiring skills and patience but fck fck fckerty fck. its drove me insane.

trust the french to use simple ingredients with simple step by step instructions that can challenge even the most seasoned baker. its all about the every little whisk, fold and flick that determines the outcome and then comes the piping and slamming of the tray on the table. my goodness, you will be left all ready to slam head on the table.

but nevertheless i am gonna give myself a time limit to get these macaroons out right before i get enlisted. and yes, although baking calms the soul, but when its the baking that gets you all happy to strangle someone then it's time to do the household chores and vent your frustrations on getting the house clean.
