Last-minute baking panic!

Unlike throwing together a quick meal, it's difficult to bake at the last minute. Or, at least, it's difficult to bake what you want from scratch at the last minute. The butter needs to be softened, some cookie recipes require refrigeration after mixing, the list goes on.

With guests arriving for dinner on a busy day for Meredith, there wasn't time for anything that caused delays (after all, I still needed the oven to cook dinner). Meredith and I scoured Cook, Eat, Share for something both tasty and relatively quick, and we finally found something with two of my favourite flavours - chocolate and peanut butter. I hope everyone whom Meredith helped today understood that dessert was at stake here!

Meredith finished just in time for me to start supper.
