Yesterday my sister Amy decided to make cookies. As she was rolling the dough into balls and putting them on the cookie sheet, I walked through the kitchen. She chose that moment to ask me if there is a difference between baking soda and baking powder. I told her there was, to which she answered "Oops". Well, at that point it was too late, so she decided to bake them anyway and see how they turned out. Truth be told, they tasted the same to me. That got me to wondering just how big a difference there really is. And who invented baking anyway? I mean, who came up with the idea that you could mix flour with sugar with egss and vanilla or whatever and make a delicious treat?
