I have made.... strawberry shortcake!!! Normally this wouldn't be such a big deal, but considering that (a) I originally intended to make pancakes but realized before starting that I had no eggs (prior to this morning I had had eggs, but no milk) and (2) I cocked up the batter by adding 1 2/3 cups of milk instead of 2/3 of a cup, I'd say it turned out pretty good!

I was not at all systematic in my approach; once I realized I'd screwed up, I added ....an amount of sugar and ...an amount of butter and... a certain quantity of pancake mix. VERY SCIENTRIFICAL. And then I poured it all into a cake pan seeing as (1) we seem to have no cookie sheets, a fact which had escaped my notice, and (b) the dough was too runny to hold together otherwise. So now my shortcake is... actually a cake! That you can cut up and put strawberries and cream on! And, despite my best efforts, I think it's pretty tasty! :D

I have single-handedly managed to wrest a good result from... something which should never have been this difficult in the first place. ^^:



Also, my boss called today and asked me if I'd like to meet on Monday about starting to work full time AAAAAHHHHHH
