To Bake

If you mix 17oz. of flour with 18 oz of brown/white sugar, two eggs, vanilla, baking soda/powder together with some chocolate chips, you get cookie dough. Baking is the only perfect thing that I can do (cuz remember...nobody's perfect right!) I know that when I add the dry ingredients with the sugars and butter, they will blend beautifully to make a sugary buttery tan dough. I know that when I make them into golf ball size molds, they will flatten out into a warm chocolatey disk. These are the things I know, these are the things  I love.

I had chocolate chip cookies for dinner tonight. In a state of frustration and anger (my neighbor stole my parking spot, I got cut in line by two punks, my nephew peed on the floor...and I stepped in it, etc...) I baked a batch of warm chocolate chip cookies and the world was at rest again.
