this is how my brain works

i think my freaky work schedule is messing with my head.
ok, so here's the thing.
sometimes i get home at midnight.
and i'm really awake
from being like:
"SOOO! which of these is a FACT and which is an OPINION!? bill gates owns the world. bill gates is the smartest man alive!"
so i'm keyed up.
tonight i went out to dinner with my coworkers 
and our meal was AMAZING.
you cook the food in this giant grill in the middle of your circular table.
the red pepper paste and cabbage and sweet potatoes and onions and just everything were so perfect!
but i got home pretty late.

i had ordered a large toaster oven (since koreans don't use ovens!?!?) and a fancy cart and these two huge ready to be assembled boxes of hope were just staring at me as i lounged on my bed and got freaked out by the sixth sense with korean subtitles.
I ASSEMBLED THE FANCY CART
it involved tools and many many parts and korean instruction.
then i assembled the toaster oven.
then i decided i needed to use the toaster oven.
so i am baking chocolate chip scones at 3 am.
this is my life,
making buttermilk by combining milk and lemon juice in the middle of the night.

i was feeling really down lately.
and then i realized it was september 11th.
actually, will told me.
but i think baking is making it ok 
and i can bring some goodies to school
but now the bottoms are burning.
i didnt grease the sheet and now my scones are gonna set off my smoke detector.
wahhhhhh!!!!
well, i'll go get some cooking spray tomorrow and it'll all be gooood.
i opened a window! and my door!
it's only a little hazy in my apartment!
i've got it under control!
i'm gonna go watch some dr. quinn medicine woman off the internet now.

Baking always makes things okay. Now you know why I always had baked goods to offer you late at night :P. How can you bake in a toaster oven? I mean I realize it CAN be done, but why don't they use ovens?!? Bizarre.

I wish I could have some of those chocolate chip scones...

You can go to Costco to get cooking spray. Yay for Costco.
Cooking is good for the soul, ya know. Kristen is learning how to be an innovative cook, using only the three ingrediants that they have in their pantry at that particular time so they don't have to go to the store. Makes for some interesting meals..yummmm.

I love Dr. Quinn. Also, how weird that they don't use ovens. And also, baking is cool.
