Flour, sugar, and not falling over.

[mrissa]

I miss baking. I want to make chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, and our recipe for chocolate cake involves boiling things on the stove before mixing them with the flour and sugar, so it's really not something I feel safe doing at this stage of the vertigo. I also want to make oatmeal raisin spice cookies. And scones. And the first strawberry shortcakes and the first strawberry crisp of the season. Note that this is not the same thing as missing baked goods. My mom is where I got this stuff, and my mom is ten minutes away, and if I said, "Momma, could I have one of our chocolate cakes? Because I think I might actually be hungry for that," then poof! there would be chocolate cake. But I am not hungry for that. I want to do the bit where you make it. And that is where my interest ends.

Sigh.

You could make my Cousin Beryl's fruitcake. I'm not saying you want to, but you could. It's got milk and oil and eggs and everything else is dry, all you need is a measuring cylinder and a wooden spoon, you could make it sitting on the floor.

In the thing I am writing, cooking and eating food you have cooked is a useful part of everyperson magic.
