The smell of bread rising and S'more cupcakes fills the air of our apartment and I sit in the kitchen now writing this blog while I wait patiently for 11:00 to strike so that I might bunch down the bread once again before forming it into rolls. I was at first skeptical about the S'more cupcakes, but in the end they turned out quite alright, not too sweet and not too bad over all. However the buns might be a different story, I'll be sure to update sometime in the future.
And now before I forget I figure I should probably write out the idea behind the psychedelic pancakes I made a weekend or so ago. It was quite simple, using the pancake recipe I usually use I traded the chocolate chips for M&M's. When stirring them into the batter I found the dye spreading throughout the batter and was left with the colourful pancakes. Hope that clears any suspicions as to how to make them :)
I've found baking to be my escape from everyday stresses and after an extremely stressful week it was nice to bake some cupcakes and start buns. Even now as I sit here at 10:30 I happened to glance over to the dough on the oven and cannot believe how much it has risen. We're going to have buns coming out from every hole in this house after tomorrow morning.
Besides baking, life has been nothing but an uphill climb towards a wonderful peak of happiness and joy. It's been a long recovery since my fall during the holidays but it's coming along and each day I've grown stronger with the Lord's help. I miss all of you who are far away dearly and am glad I know those of you who are with me here in NL. I will be attending a retreat next weekend which I am thoroughly excited to be going on. Expect a post after that weekend.
