sadbaking
sadbaking-
n. a branch of culinary art, practiced worldwide, in which the artist bakes in a sad affective state. Characterized by imprecise—if any—measurements, spills, and low baking supervision. Sadbaking is an inherently optimistic endeavor, because the baker initiates the task with the belief that he or she can follow through, despite challenges and feelings of wanting to give up. As such, sadbaked goods are the crystallized synthesis of grief and hope. Due to the production variation from recipe instructions, they often take on unusual shapes and carry unique flavors, stretching the definitions of their product classes, potentially leading to innovations and reconceptualizations.

Sadbaking is a healthy way to engage meaningfully with life and others when you’re feeling down. You get to accomplish something and share your sadbacked goods with other people, or not. =D
Yesterday I sadbaked these lemon muffins. They turned out oily because I didn’t measure the butter, but they kept their forms because they didn’t get stuck in the baking tray. 😃
