Baking...

OK, so not to toot my own horn or anything but I make an excellent banana bread. No really, it's some good shit. But just when I start to have an ego about this latest excursion in to baking, the universe reminded me that ego is not such a good thing. Today I tried to make chocolate chip cookies. But like the dumbass that I am, I tried to sneak through with the pre-packaged Betty Crocker cookie mix. Of course, it is Betty Crocker, so it should be fine, right? But here's the thing...they don't make it for high elevations. So, when I pulled them out of the oven, they were the size of dinner plates, crispy on the edges and chewy in the middle. What the crap! So this is a two fold smack down...first because I had too much ego about the banana bread and then because I tried to cut corners and go the easy route. Mother-humper! That's it, I am not baking for at least a solid week. Nothing. Seriously.
