If there's one thing I can be certain about, it's baking.
No matter how crazy, confusing, heartbreaking, chaotic, or emotional things get, I know that if I mix butter, eggs, sugar, and flour that I will get a dough mixture to which I can add anything to. In this case, at 11:47 p.m., I've added oatmeal and chocolate chips. I know that when I roll this dough mixture into balls and put them in the oven, they will turn into flat fragrant disks of deliciousness. There is nothing else I can be so sure of. I'm never more confident than when I'm in the kitchen briskly walking back and forth to mix this with that, combine this in here, and put that over there. It's a science, but it's also more relaxing than any massage or hot bath- maybe that's just me. Baking: It does you good.
