Angst filled my work day. I was angry, frustrated and defeated. My only solace was the promise of an evening filled with cookie baking and chocolate dipping. Unfortunately my frustration carried on into my baking evening...at least for a short while.
I am a firm believer in the affect mood can have on your baking results. If I am in a grumpy mood, something almost always goes wrong. Tonight was no different. In the middle of the baking cycle for a batch of Dark Chocolate Tri Berry Cookies, my oven decided to spontaneously shut off. I ended up ruining 12 cookies...the ones I was going to take to Carolynn tomorrow. I think my poor old oven felt my bad vibes and decided enough was enough. I had to smile and let it all go. I let the baking soothe my soul and the subsequent batches turned out just fine. The resulting cookie platter I put together for Beatriz paired with the chocolate dipped strawberries, blackberries and raspberries made everything right in my world.
Many hugs,
Kathy
