MY COOKING ADVENTURES

So I got around to making my pancakes which didn't turn out all that bad. I'm actually pretty culinarily inept and I managed to fail Home Ec last year which just reiterates that point. Also, I managed to screw pre-mixed cake mix once which left my dear Danielle without a birthday present (and I still have yet to get her one oh man) and I constantly kill cookies, be it whether they turn out burnt or too big and end up sticking together or even that one time at Bianca's house where we didn't flatten the dough and the cookies turned out really cakey which was.. Interesting. But seriously, since I was a small kid I would go to my grandma's house to bake, sometimes with my cousin (and the two of them are amazing cooks/bakers) and I somehow always managed to burn my batch cookies. It was pretty demoralizing. So yes in terms of baking, I have probably only successfully mastered the art of baking brownies and scones which is pretty sad cause I just suck at everything else. But yes I made a brownie for Afifah's birthday and made pancakes today which was the point of this post cause I wanted to post the pictures so yay for my culinary skills (or lack thereof).
