Pumpkin

This morning I baked (and am waiting for it to come out of the oven), a chocolate pumpkin cake. You can find the recipe here. I found it whilst perusing the list of "pumpkin deserts" to try and find something that would tantalize the senses of my pumpkin-loving roommate.This is the one I ran across and because it looked rather simple (the simplest of the bunch) I decided to give it a go. Luckily I had over-bought ingredients for my day of baking on Wednesday that turned out a dozen muffins, two dozen chocolate chip cookies, three extra bags of flour (two of which are in my car still), two boxes of sugar, a new bottle of vanilla, three packages of butter, baking soda, baking powder, and a two-pound bag of pecans. I tried to shoot-over and then found myself buried in baking supplies. After coming home from the gym I decided that what the hell , I'd utilize these extra ingredients and bake this pumpkin cake to see how it turned out .I flitted through the online recipe building the orange batter step by step and finally realizing that I had been in the zone, if you will, the entire time I baked as I listened to the Otis Redding station on Pandora (super awesome station by the way) and in my underwear. The cake is now in the oven for a little over an hour. Everything is perfect when I bake, everything is fun, lively, sweet, smooth, fast, and satisfying. I think this is what I'm meant to do and so I shall continue to do it. I've been selling my baked goods and am putting the word out about my bakery that I someday hope to open. I'm getting excited and so have changed my major to business so that I can know how to run one. ;)
Adieu.
