Anger Baking

[Vintage Suits by Mary]

Has anyone ever had such a bad day that you are literally unable to function? Today was that kind of day. It took me all day to figure out what to do to relax and feel better. Baking! I baked banana nut muffins, and as I write am noshing on one hot out of the oven. I am feeling much better now. :)

I'm curious; does anyone else do this?

[Harlean Carpenter {★}]

ABSOLUTELY! Anything that involves a lot of mixing is wonderfully therapeutic. On the really bad days, I make yeast breads. There is nothing for a bad day like a recipe that requires you to punch things down

I do try to give away a lot of what I bake, though, otherwise I sometimes run into trouble...

Haha, I thought I was the only one who did this! There is just something so damn relaxing about baking!!
I make cakes when I need to relax. Victoria sponges and butterfly cakes mainly. But I have been known to make crumbles, pies, tarts, cookies, brownies ect.

For me its the I'm focusing so hard on the measuring, mixing ect that I forget about everything else.

Me and a friend have been challenged to a bake off, basically cause the guys we know think our cakes are both equally as good and want us to bake for them LOL.

Need to see if I have the ingredients cause I fancy baking tonight now

Yes, but I just cook. (I am a terrible baker.) I usually make something that requires a lot of focus and attention so I don't have to think about why I'm feeling homicidal, I can just focus on making pickles or folding biscuit dough... or on especially bad days, violently trussing a chicken.

Pounding chicken breasts is always fun!

I am looking forward to my cookie baking day coming up. It is a day of over-doing it, but in a relaxing way. I do the same cookies each year for Christmas, four different kinds. Can't wait.

oh my goodness I do this big time that and anger cleaning. I mean literally so p'd off steam coming from my ears and cleaning the house. Oh yes most definetly!!!
Baking I make Chocolate Truffles, Bourbon Balls, Run truffles, chocolate fudge, peanut butter fudge, peppermint pattties, peanut butter cups, biscotti, and Divinity

I usually bake a lot in Christmas time to relax my mind as well.

I clean, but maybe next time I'll try baking. Eating sweets is just as good if not better then a clean house!
