Rachael Ray, I Am Not

Every time I attempt to bake something, I am reminded of how much I hate it.

I have to bring a snack to school this week, and attend a cookie exchange next weekend. I thought today I would give a new recipe a trial run, to see if it was suitable for either event.

I have dirtied every dish in the kitchen, have Oreo crumbs under my fingernails, have scorched the bottom of two pots, and the recipe only made about 35 cookies, and they don't look or taste that great? Why bother? It took me over an hour (not including the trip to the store) and I've got crap to show for it.

I am all about buying store-bought, and passing them off as my own. Why on earth do people enjoy baking? I am disappointed every time I try.
