So as I was baking today, I realized that it resembles the history of racial tensions and integration, etc.
Think about it, first you add the eggs, sugars, and butters together in one bowl. Then in another bowl, you put together the (usually) white ingredients such as flour, baking powder/soda, salt and so on and so forth (and sometimes cinnamon or nutmeg.) As I was mixing the eggs with the rest of the wet ingredients I thought about it all.
I don't mean to defend myself in any way at all, but you know how white people are judged as those people that don't really know or understand other cultures/styles of life and that they live happily ever after because they are "pure." Bullshit! If anything, the white people are the most ostracized because many different peoples decide to find a common enemy and then history happens.
Well, the eggs wouldn't mix. Not until all of the dry ingredients were mixed in. I beat those eggs in as well as I thought I could, but they were still the little liquid chilling in the bowl separate from the other ingredients. And when I put the oats, flour, baking powder, etc. in, I had to mix for a long time. It's like... the first time you try to mix it all together it isn't going to work and you just have to wait longer. And when you try the batter, you can still taste all of the different ingredients, but put together they are so much better.
Can't anyone agree with me?
