Why can't I be one of those people that goes on runs to reduce stress?
My personality quirks have decided to take a new and interesting turn. I'm really stressed about work right now for reasons I never got around to explaining. Basically I'm up for a promotion. So is another girl. And we're in direct competition with each other. In August we'll find out who got it. Basically, she and I have talked and whoever gets it will consider staying, but whoever doesn't will very likely be desperate to leave the BBB. I don't know. It's a sucky situation.
In retaliation I have turned to baking. Monday night I made these.
Last night I made these.
Both turned out well. The chocolate madeleines were a little sticky to eat, but quite tasty. I added cinnamon to the recipe because I'm from Texas. The texture of these was a little weird, though, somewhere between a sponge-y cookie (which they're supposed to be), a piece of cake, and a brownie. I should have tried them with ice cream.
The vanilla wafers are DELICIOUS. They taste nothing like 'nilla wafers which is wanted to try to make. Instead they're like incredibly sweet, vanilla laden sugar cookies with the perfect chewy texture. I'm in love with this recipe. It's definitely going in the same file with the most perfect snicker doodle recipe ever.
Question time: How do I make my cubicle less oppressive? I feel like it's trying to eat me with a big, bland, gray mouth. I'm not really one to put up fannish posters and such. And right now I think it would actually be MORE embarrassing to have a picture of Stéphane or Johnny up than it would have been to put up pics of the Jonas Brothers.
