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?

haha. maybe thats why I cook all the darn time and I didnt even know it.

lol i do this too, but usually end up being more stressed because the kids want to eat it right then, so it really doesn't help to calm me down that much.

Yes, there's just something about baking that totally soothes the soul! And of course eating your baked goods helps the soul, too! I think it's because you're concentrating on something other than your anger/bad day, etc.

I get a craving to bake chocolate cake when I'm angry or upset. It could just be that its chocolate but then again I really love to bake period.

I am a total anger/stress baker! Cupcakes, cakes, cookies, bread....I've done it all! Such a good release!

I do cross stitch when I'm angry, and I clean when I'm bored. I bake/cook when I'm in a good mood.

I've never tried baking in anger,maybe because I'm not so good in baking..need to work on it. I would love to learn making muffins.
I do clean though..... I will clean everything, everywhere, I will drug out everything from cupboards and clean places you would normally not think about. It calms me down somehow. It's nice to know I'm not the only one

Baking can always change any ones mood, either doing the baking or enjoy the baked goods.

If I ever treat a woman like a piece of meat, it's because I'm a great cook and I'm going to broil her hot. Makes you think about eating, doesn't it?

I've done this on numerous occasions. It's a wonderful way to escape the bullcarp in life and experience something fun and creative. I never bake while crying though... did that once and totally burned myself. Must be able to see what I'm doing. LOL!
