Necessity invented me

I wish I can enjoy pandesal in the morning... led to a baking mischief. I made bread..... a handful of flour, a whip of butter, egg, condensed milk, gotta have baking soda, yeast..a little of it. I have no freakin idea what these powders do but since im as proud as a hippogriff, and as hungry as a starved goldfish, I made bread.

I kept telling myself, if the ancient Greeks can make it, if nan bread looks so simple as a bloated blob of thing, Jesus probably even knew how to make bread - he was the first worldwide advertisement for it.... then I believe i can make it. Its gotta be somewhere in my genes.

First things first. Mix em. Mix and bake, 2 steps, no biggie. Except for the eggshells, everything blended in well, it looks so much like the ones i see on TV. I was happy rollin and flattenin. Now i gotta use some grey matters here.. its gotta prevent itself from stickin to the pan... duh!! The dough was formed into what i believed is the right thickness, laid on the oven, and set the fire to "insane" degrees fahrenheit. I have no time for slow cookin excuses.

The first set went out incredibly fine. Ok it didnt, after like 4 minutes, it was turnin golden brown... cool, that was fast. Took it out and let it cool. I felt kinda hard, typo, I meant "it" felt hard..the bread...so i decided to add water on the dough... which i think it didnt like coz it went nasty soggy. Whatever form it was it went in the toaster this time.. duh! oven sucks, Ogg use toaster this time.

Ding!, the toaster rang, Ogg the infamous caveman went to the micro volcano cooker and fetch his invention, it was an odd shape, it was as dead as a nail and its pippin hot. Fresh brewed Amoretto coffee, sunny eggs, fresh veggies and the main entre~ .... cardboard cookies.

They turned out into cookies from hell. Well, add butter, dunk into jelly, hold coffee, bite and chew..refrain from spitting it out, swallow and gulp coffee and it actually went fine. Next time Ill try to make cookies, it might turn into bread. Ogg learneth to use recipe and patience hereafter.
