Baking

Every time I try to bake anything, I start wishing someone were standing behind me whispering in my ear saying "DON'T DO IT JO! This will NOT come out good. Flour will fly everywhere.  Hand-prints of Molasses are going to find themselves all over your walls. And in the end you are going to have a strange substance that only sort of resembles what you were trying to make.  DON'T DO IT JO!!!!"
