Baking and me!


I told myself I was going to slow down on my baking. I have been baking too much recently.

When my daughter met with her old school mates, I baked for her to bring. When a group of us mothers met for a chit chat, I baked. When Little D's classs had their End of term party, I baked. Every time there was a gathering, I was baking! Even when I was feeling bored, I baked. I was baking practically every other day this past fortnight!

I shared recipes with friends, and when the feedback they gave was that my recipes worked well, it made me want to bake even more. When I gave home-made cookies and cakes to friends who dont bake, and they come back to say that they enjoyed it, it sure made my day, and I wanted to take out my apron and bake again for them on the spot. This afternoon, I made more cookies.

At the rate I am going, I may be ready for a second career, an industrial size oven ... and a bigger pair of jeans!

Keep up the good work. I am sure everyone is enjoying the fruits of your labour.

(Referring to your last statement) And That is why my oven seems to have grown cold lately. I don't want bigger jeans, thank you. :)

It's worth it. Your children/family/friends will remember you best for all the delicious yummies. Ever tried a matcha red bean cake? Just made one this morning. Will let you know how it turn out. Guess, both of us are doing the same thing in our spare time.
