Hot from the oven....
Fast forward, 20 years later, after watching countless Martha reruns shows and Sweet Dreams by Gale Gand, I suddenly developed an interest for cooking and baking. I always wanted to have an oven for years and finally, I got it as an early Christmas gift.

Since I have no formal training in baking other than watching people do it on TV, I searched for baking 101 info I can get on the internet, watched a lot of cooking shows from the Food Network and I started going to the bookstore again (not to get school supplies this time) looking for instructional and recipe books (I was wondering if there's any book like "Baking for Idiots"...hahaha...) I bought basic utensils for baking like measuring cups, spatula, pans (i didn't know that they come in different sizes and uses), rolling pins, etc.

For my first try in baking, I wasn't really that confident to do my own mixing or even follow a recipe, so I got a store bought butterscotch brownie mix, wherein I only have to add egg and butter, that simple...wait, I forgot that I also do not know how to operate an oven, so while I was mixing the ingredients, I was also reading the oven manual, not an easy task.
I thought my first baking experience will be a disaster but it turned out just fine and yummy.
