this is what concerns me:

1. Follow the directions from the Vegan Family Cookbook, cutting the sugar by half.
2. Preheat oven to 500, despite directions stating 425.
3. Get in the shower.
4. Realize six minutes later that you preheated the oven to 500, despite directions stating 425.
5. Jump out of shower, soapy and wet, and rush to kitchen, nearly slipping and falling in hallway.
6. Reset oven to 425.
7. Run back to shower.
8. Return to kitchen in time to remove muffins, only to find them not done.
9. Bake muffins for twice recommended time.
10. End product: photogenic but overly-chewy muffins.
11. Enjoy?

I’ll be taking a break from cooking while traveling in Europe with the fam this week. Try not to burn anything without me.
