.... stress baker!! 
I was feeling down about some things and started googling things like "cake recipes - one bowl" "dessert - quick and easy" and "chocolate chip cookies when you're out of brown sugar"
This might be the (temporary) solution to all of my problems: http://www.marthastewart.com/334278/busy-day-chocolate-cake

@blackbird: but then I'd have to make it three or four times in a row and all my mugs would be dirty!

I love baking bread when I'm stressed out....especially the kneading part! I've worked out so much frustration kneading bread dough!

@blackbird: the point is I want to inhale a whole chocolate cake!

I used to do this too! Something about having control and the precision with baking was comforting. Now I'm just a stress eater, although I'm pretty tempted to make that cake!

Meeeee too. I think it really is the instant gratification of something working properly, and then sweet bliss.
I try to do my stress baking late in the evening, and then send it to work with DH to prevent the subsequent stress eating.
