In the mood to bake

Maybe it's coz everyone around me is either baking or stocking up on cookies and cakes. Or it could be because I've had a long and tiring day at work today. But I came home and suddenly had the urge to bake banana muffins.

I don't have the ingredients needed yet though, need to drop by the store tomorrow. But I think I will definitely bake them tomorrow.

It's weird though. Why bake when you're tired out?

L reckons that baking is calming. It's got therapeutic qualities about it or something. Right.. I agree with a small portion of what she says. I personally don't think it's the entire process of baking itself (Hello, you slave for hours mixing left and right, measuring this and that and then you worry about making a mistake somewhere that would just ruin your efforts, you seriously think that's therapeutic?!?!). I think it's more the nice, homey scent of cookies/ cakes/ muffins wafting from the oven and taking over the entire house. It works better than potpourri, trust me. And the nice scent you breathe in just makes you feel happy and loved.

That I think, is the magic of baking.

Unless of course, the heavenly scent is replaced with the bitter smell of burning muffins. Then you just want to run out of your house and go in hiding for a week.

BUT!!!!

THAT won't happen to me!!!!

I'm a positive thinker!

My muffins are going to turn out great!!
