When in doubt..bake.

I really need to get this negative emotions away before it gets worse. Lately, I have been so angry and short tempered until I don't even know why I'm angry at the first place *sigh* I really need to fix this short fuse of mine. So what better way to channel these angers that has been inside me with baking :P I know, how lame. But baking makes me happy and shit. So whatever man. I've been dying to try baking Marble Cheese Brownies. Found a recipe that seems pretty legit. Gave it a try. So now its in the oven.

*I'll update the pics when they're ready :)* 

Found the recipe here
