I decided I wanted cake, so I made a cake. No big, right?
I pulled out my Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cake recipe, decided to change a few things (like caramel chips for the chocolate ones, cinnamon instead of cocoa, peanuts instead of walnuts), based on what I had and what I was craving. I made the batter and got it going and then, THEN I looked down at the bottom of the recipe page and noticed the date (since I printed it out from the internet).
I should not have done that.
The year I printed it out? '98. 1998. 25 FUCKING YEARS AGO. I have been making this cake for 25 years. I feel so old.
I'm gonna go and find an ice floe before they all disappear.

I scanned them in, and in labelling them, realized they were like... 25 years old. That's super old, not super recent and yikes. Can't say I finished scanning them, because there's only so much of a nostalgic rabbit hole that's good for you. I wish my nostalgic rabbit hole had at least resulted in cake...
