Day 67: BBQ sauce splatter and Chocolate Crinkles

I spent the good part of my Saturday morning finishing up the reading for my essay due on Sunday at 2pm. I decided to go grocery shopping for a bit that afternoon. I also had an inch to bake chocolate crinkles. Joanne had some of the stuff I needed so all I needed from the grocery was cocoa powder, powdered sugar and eggs.

I went to Aldi's and on my way back, with my bags in hand, a bus passes by and then I suddenly feel this solid stuff hit my arm. At first I was like "wth?" so I look at my arm and I saw there was this gooey substance on it and then I prayed hard to God that it wasn't some pigeon that hit my arm and it was its blood splattered all over me. I then smelled it and it could have been either bbq sauce or ketchup. I saw Debra on my way back and she was just as in surprise as I was. I was completely splattered with BBQ sauce by someone who I did not know and I can't even give him or her a piece of my mind. I went in the house, cleaned up my sweatshirt and jeans and threw it in the laundry.

While it was going through a cycle, I prepared the chocolate crinkles. I was still infuriated and I needed to force myself to relax in order to be able to do them right. Cooking or baking has become my pre and post essay ritual. The chocolate crinkles, as pictured above, turned out wonderful. I was fairly happy with the result and it successfully calmed me down. The flat mates loved it too. Successful baking venture :]
