Reflection

   These past few weeks have been going great. The over all product in the end will be the ability to observe the benefits of baking in your life. As cookies, cake, and cupcakes have all been tested during these weeks, test results have been promising. Test subject A (My self) has demonstrated much more positive qualities throughout the week as noted by my mom. Pointed out specifically has been the humor that has come from every baking experience.  From eggs spilling to flour in the face, these baking expeditions have brought joy into our house. Afterwards, funny "life lessons" can be created, based upon the baking experience.
    For instance, when asking my little brother for help in the kitchen, he gladly agreed. Note: My two little brothers are probably the best at making chocolate chip cookies. Better than my mom. (Maybe)
Well, when told to add 4 cups of flour to a mix, my 8 yr old brother accidentally lost track and ended up adding a couple extra cups. While mixing the dough, I noticed that it was unexpectedly big. As I referred to the recipe and saw that the recipe serves 8 - 10, I was surprised at how big the servings would be. After putting 3 cookie sheets in the oven instead of two, and waiting about an hour for baking and cooling, The most bitter cookies in the world were born.
   Although the cookies did not turn out, we were eventually able to track down the problem. No hard feelings came about but instead a good laugh. For the next week, we were all very careful in anything that we measured. and were sure not to pull an "Owen".
