more muffins, yessss!

When it comes to baking, my cookie creations are far less superior to their baked-goods competitors. The cookies are decent, not awesome. And I strive for awesome.

Bill Belichick once told me, “[You know, Kaka]…Most players like to work on the strengths, work on the things that they’re good at, and they’re not as anxious to work on their weaknesses or things that need a lot of work. I think a really good player, and a real professional player, does that. He knows that’s where he’s going to be attacked and that’s what he has to shore up.”

His words of wisdom are taken seriously in this house. But Bill - if you attack my cookie, I will shove a muffin in your face. And frankly, I’m wasting a lot of butter and flour on my mediocre cookies that no one wants to eat. I could make this world a happier, muffinier place…

That being said, I will continue to experiment with my weaknesses. Thanks to everyone (ie. the hub), who has to consume like crazy to keep up with it.
