Day 89: Primal Scream Day


Day 89
Today, I’m going to bake cupcakes.
That’s not the book’s task. The book says I need to do a primal scream, which I totally plan to do, I think I need it.
But I also really want to bake cupcakes.
Work is boring as usual, nothing really to write about.
The cupcakes, however. I’m gonna write about them. I’m proud of myself for my resourcefulness here.
My plan was to make chocolate cupcakes with pureed raspberries added to the mix (which I did) and then a little white chocolate raspberry decoration topping it. They were to be very elegant.
The cupcake part turns out great, but not so much the decoration. I melt white chocolate and added raspberry extract and some food coloring—then the chocolate rehardens. For some weird reason, I can’t get it to melt again.
So I stick it in the middle of the cupcakes as a filling. I’m so proud of me for thinking of this, seriously—usually I throw a fit and give up when something I’m cooking doesn’t go right. Yay, I’m improving!
Anyways, the cupcakes are raspberry-licious.
I decide not to bother with a full on primal scream today. I don’t feel like it.
I do a silent scream, purposely blocking my voice so that a random scream doesn’t freak out my parents. Still fulfills the purpose—I feel a sense of relief and I’m good.

So...those cupcakes weren't the best, actually.
I still like having the pureed raspberry in the actual chocolate cupcake. The filling thing? Eh.

on another note, I have a new short story up at my other blog.
