Being Off Balance Can Wreck Sh*t

Good mooooorning, my little Kittens!

Soooo, a few of you may recall that I am a baker (FabulistaCookies.com). Well, I have been under some stress about growing my business because my oven has gotten progressively worse with incorrect heating and baking times. Normally, my cookies bake at 350 for 12mins…now they were at 365 for 15mins…and it was starting to change, again. If there is one thing I detest, it is wasting time and materials on things that can be avoided…only, I wasn’t sure what to do since a new oven wasn’t in the budget.

As luck would have it, I kept getting orders and finally told my husband that I needed to get something else in here. I looked on Facebook Marketplace and found a wonderful, vintage stove with a center griddle and a stove cover/shelf. I ADORE my new-to-me stove, only it needs to be thoroughly cleaned before I can move it in, as it was sitting in the seller’s garage for about 3yrs.

So yesterday, my fine, sexy, piece of deliciousness husband of mine suggests that MAYBE because the floor is uneven in our rental, that MAYBE it is effecting the way the stove cooks. Nevermind that I have been asking for MONTHS for him to help me level it because the cooking oil all running to one side of the stove was driving me nuts when I was cooking up some deliciousness.

I decided to give it a try because if nothing else, something I had been wanting to check off of my To-Do List would be getting done. It took some back and forth maneuvering, but by golly, 20 mins later we got that mofo to balance out and the stove felt soooo wonderfully sturdy. I wanted to test bake some cookies in case it worked, but was still nervous that it wouldn’t and then would be right where I left off…except with a cleaner, more balanced stove.

Last night, I went for it…baked some of my tempting Java Tha Chunk cookies and they came out SUPERB!! I was air humping and gyrating on the door frame…just being all kinds of obscene ridiculousness…but your girl is BACK!

That being said, I’m back to taking orders again…cookies, anyone? 😉

So you see…being off balance can wreck sh*t. What is off balance in your life? Your relationships? The way you see yourself? Understanding your passions and life purpose? It can cost us a lot of time, money and energy when we are unbalanced…especially when a simple and FREE fix is right under our noses. Do some cat-like investigating…curiosity killed the cat, not deliberate investigation.

Oh, and as for my new-to-me stove…looks like it is going to see a bit more garage time…but this time it will be because I am restoring it to its former glory to still use one day. I’m in no hurry, I’ve got my old groove back.

Well Kittens, I have some baking to do…what sweetness do you plan to indulge in today? Whatever it is, be sure to share some and make someone else’s day…MUAH!

-MEOW!
