Baking with Lyan

I don't pretend to have any kind of skill in the kitchen. I have a lovely rice cooker and I'm decent with meat. If there is no one else around i'll try and get fancier in the kitchen. Makes it easier for me to waft smoke out of the house or clean up whatever might have happened.

Since we went apple picking this weekend i decided i'd do something with my mess of fruit. So i picked out an easy recipe for an apple cheesecake.

I started off by:

-I scraped a bit of skin off of my finger while peeling the first apple.
-I have no idea what an apple corer looks like.
-I cut my finger with a paring knife as i dug the core away from my apple.
-I broke a spoon after i abandoned the knife to scrape the core out of my apple.
-The blood made the apple slippery and i dropped it and the cat jumped on it.

Not a good start.

Then I:

-Attempted to mix cream cheese with sugar and vanilla
-Did not have cream cheese thawed to room temperature.
-Cream cheese that is hard does not mix.

So then i figured id just used my hands to mix all of that up first and then use the hand mixer.

So:

-Did not notice the mixer was on a high speed when i put it in the bowl.
-Exploded cream cheese on my face, in my hair, and on my clothes.

After much muttered swearing i cleaned everything up, mixed my ingrediants and poured the cream cheese on top of my apple filling. Then i stuck it into the oven. And nothing has caught fire yet.
