Baking is a craft!

I broke my camera, but I made some chocolate chip cookies while I was gabbling the other day. After precariously peeling them off the greaseproof paper, they were actually really nice and chewy cookies.
I'm gonna try and bake some more this weekend, although I have to remind my mother to get more chocolate chunks because I used them all.
Also for anyone who was paying attention in gabbly while I was insulting my baking prowess and talking about my mother's brownies... Basically it turned out as a big slab of cake, rather than brownie.
FAIL CAKE.
Woo!:
Ok, I almost feel unqualified posting here, because i burnt some grilled cheese the other day, but that's just because i was reading this thread!
But anyway, I made some double chocolate cake for my brother's birthday the other day, with a recipe I'd used before and I FINALLY got it right. It was delicious! I'd had some problems with mixing up the vinegar and vegetable oil before...I am notouriously absent minded. And with the leftover chocolate chips, i couldn't resist trying out Eris's Death By Chocolate cookies, the picture looked too yummy! So I made them with some minor approximations and substitutions, and they are already more than half gone!

I wish I would have taken pictures of these silly pancakes I made this morning. I happened to be out of milk so (I forget where I got the advice from) I replaced the milk with a bit of applesauce that I watered down a bit to create the proper texture, and the result was not only suprisingly pretty due to the color that emerged after cooking but also quite scrumptious!
Keep baking - all of you!

Hurrah for baking! Though I've never taken any pictures. I think my motivation for baking is batter-tasting. Raw chocolate chip cookie dough is about the best thing ever. The raw flour and levening taste is probably what does it for me. Or maybe it's the butter and sugar. Ha!
Sometimes I get together with friends and throw an Iron Chef dinner party, and we bring a dish with a "theme" ingredient. I tried to make some jerky brittle for Battle Beef, and it was grainy and atrocious. I was trying for something like peanut brittle but tasty bits of beef jerky and a slight spicy taste. It's fun to try new things, but it's a shame to waste good ingredients. Incidentally, anyone a good candy-maker?
