One of the things I really love is more akin to creating art. Like painting with fruit on a wonderful torte. The colour is divine, hard to beat what mother nature can create.

And I think you have a wonderful idea about going to school for your mad culinary interests. Follow your passion and you will be happy the rest of your life - your work will not feel like work, will be more joy than anything you can imagine. Pastry shoppes, baking in general is not for light weights, it is a lot of work. But it is fun! And the creative process is especially enjoyable, yes?

Now I want to make some killer brownies and take them to some friends. For me the best part is the smell. I can stay out of them completely. Which is a good thing for me.

Sitting down with you, pouring a cup of tea and cutting up a Yakima Peach.

I've watched so many shows and know a few people who have worked in restaurants and I know that it wouldn't be for lightweights but I think it would be alot of fun so I'm definitely going to go for that course so I can eventually begin my own business ~ I'm sooooooooooo excited now
