in a desperate attempt to keep my mind off things, I decided to bake a little. much like the quote in the title of this post, I had an idealised end product in mind. sad to say that reality isn’t always the same as what I’d hoped it’d be. but I guess it all turned out fine.

I have found that cooking is perhaps quite cathartic and I might actually try it again sometime. might.
