Cognitive Dysfunction Can Kiss My Pale Fat Ass.

The problem might just be that i haven't been sleeping well and the fatigue is getting to me, but all day long i've been mis-reading stuff. Now, it's not uncommon for me to type a word and have it come out jumbled, or think of a word i want to type and have it come out something completely different.. Or even to SAY something completely different from what i mean (tonight, having put a sandwich aside for her to eat when she got home, i called my mom at work and told her not to go out after dinner because i had work for her..), but i am usually pretty good about comprehending what i'm seeing.

I was baking an angel food cake just a couple hours ago (which i've done several times, and mostly just use the recipe for amounts.. i'm pretty good about remembering the process pretty well without it), and decided it would be a good idea to read over the directions before starting, since my head has felt pretty muddled today. After reading them very carefully i proceeded to put the cream of tartar in with the dry ingredients, instead of with the egg whites and liquid ingredients like you're supposed to. When i realized what i had done, i put it in with the liquids too, because Alton Brown explained how important it is to use the cream of tartar to balance the pH of the egg mixture.. And so i ended up with twice as much as i needed. AND THEN i put the sugar in the egg whites too soon.

And i could have sworn that when i read the recipe before starting, that was what it had said to do.

The cake is still cooling so i don't know how badly i fucked it up.

If i'm lucky, it might turn out alright. I hope so. I made some awesome strawberry-blueberry cream cheese icing for it.
