But today I found myself suffering the consequences of not having what I needed to bake. When it’s so wet and miserable outside, spontaneous baking becomes my go-to therapy to fight the grey away.

I also believe there is a direct correlation with the weather and the foods we prepare and eat. This probably explains why Starbucks was founded here and our obsession with all things coffee. Instead, the gloomy weather begs for us to stay indoors and remain comfortable sipping on our endless cups of coffee. The constant rain and grey skies doesn’t exactly motivate people, including myself, to do much outdoors. People who have never lived in Seattle have no clue just how real seasonal affective disorder really is.
