It's usually around 4 a.m. when I get the uncontrollable urge to cut off all of my hair with construction paper scissors.

Instead, I baked this pie. I like to call it the "Peace Pie." Want a piece of peace pie? Ho ho. Naturally, I think I burned it. Fuck you, Peace Pie!

Was it that EasyBake oven episode ?

I don't bake either. It requires precision and following a recipe. I like to take 2-5 recipes and synthesize. That does not work when creating a muffin.

Exactly. I kinda make things up as a go (bad trend I tend to mimic in other aspects of my life). That style doesn't lend itself to anything but stir fries.

It's funny you should mention this, because I have the same problem. There was the gingerbrick (http://www.livejournal.com/users/aceofkittens/107654.html) episode, when I decided to forego the baking powder aspect of gingerbread. And as my friend mockingly pointed out, apparently when baking, you don't just mix up everything at once. Yes, seriously, apparently you mix the butter and sugar first, then you sift in the flour, eggses, and all that. WHO KNEW!?!!!!

Yes. I remember the "guidelines".

Like the pirate's code! :)

It does actually sort of work, but the result is not what anyone expected. :) There was this time I made crepes while attempting to make a bananabread frosting...
