so i tend to shy away from making anything that involves the oven.
but when i stumbled upon a forgotten box of halloween funfetti cake mix tonight at, oh, 11, i couldn't help myself. nothing sounded better than making funfetti cookies (complete with orange and black sprinkles) to give my brain a break from memorizing the arab israeli conflict for my geography of the middle east exam tomorrow (this way, if i don't do well, i'll have fresh cookies waiting for me at home to nurse my mood back to happy).
but my smoke alarm is not the only thing that's funny about my quirky little apartment. the oven is too short to fit a normal size cookie sheet. so i have to make do with a circular cake pan that holds about seven cookies at one time.
also, in the midst of my excitement for my first time baking in this apartment i forgot that i never officially bought a baking bowl (can you tell i gave up on the prospect of baking a while ago?) so i had to make do with my pasta pot. hey, it's nonstick! less mess to clean up:)
thank you halloween funfetti mix for allowing me to re fall in love with baking, despite the minor adjustments my apartment requires. (oh, it helps when you take the battery out of the smoke detector... :) )
