Quatre Quart

It's been a very long time since I baked. Maybe a month or so, could be more then that actually.

Today, I baked, not only because I miss it, I just feel that the time I've spend in the kitchen this morning, lighten up a bit my mood.

And suddenly I remember this quote :

"Looking at the cake baked in the oven just like looking at the future"...There's a lot of meaning that I can relate..
