kulinary ambiguity

stress=lots of baking. stressful last week=lots of baking last week.
cranberry almond scones. persimmon cookies. pumpkin pies.
the stress is not-so-good, the baking is fun, and the finished product is delish.
but when you have other stuff going on, sometimes you need a little help. and sometimes you need a little kulinary help. i was staring at chicken and had absolutely no idea what to do with it. i was totally unmotivated to do anything with it. if i were by myself, i would have put it back in the fridge and had a bowl of cereal and gone to bed. it was that kind of night. but instead, i am not alone, but i also did not get any help. so i cooked said chicken and it was eaten by it was not great and i was not feeling any sort of happy feeling that usually comes with baking or cooking.
ambiguity is hard :(
