I Am Baker, Hear Me Roar

[ladysprite]

Any baking endeavor that makes the person in front of you in the grocery line boggle at you in disbelief and surprise is bound to be a worthy one.

I have 48 hours, twenty pounds of flour, ten pounds of sugar, and six pounds of butter. My oven is preheating, and my stand mixer is armed. I've got my apron on, my hair tied back, and a marathon of Top Chef to keep me company.

Bring it on.

You forgot "it's dark and I'm wearing sunglasses."

Did you notice that most places it's cheaper to buy 5 5-pound bags of sugar than it is to buy one 25-pound bag? Weird. Similar math applies for flour.

Wahoo! I can see the cloud of flour dust from here! Most excellent.

I am so jealous. (: I would love to take the day off and just bake.

Bahaha, I love doing that. Given that there are 6 people in my family and we feed our church/respective schools on a regular basis, I have sadly jaded a few cashiers at local grocery stores.

Though the time I was in line with 30 lbs of hamburger, 20 loaves of bread, and 5 dozen eggs and explained to the boggle-eyed woman behind me "It's a really weird diet" was pretty awesome. I think she believed me for just a second.

It was fun last summer when we did the Great Oobleck Kiddie Pool Experiment. You definitely get looks when you hit the checkout isle with twenty boxes of cornstarch and nothing else in the cart.
