Nothing much. I've been researching a lot of cool new recipes that I wanted to try out, but the fruits aren't in season yet, so I'll bookmark them for later. Today, I made a quick batch of fresh strawberry muffins using my favorite blueberry muffin recipe, and they turned out delicious.
I have made a second batch of cronuts for some of my classmates to try, because I love making cronuts, even if they are a bit time consuming to make. Every couple of days, I'd make some kind of bread for dinner and toast in the morning. I find making bread to be quite therapeutic and relaxing, and delicious. I've been thinking of a few recipes that I wanted to make and share with the class for our final presentation, as an example of what I really like to make, and kind of a way to bribe them through their stomachs.
Excitements? Worries?
I always get really excited when it comes to baking because it's something I really enjoy. Especially when working with new kinds of ingredients, or unique recipes, I would get super elated to see how they come out. My worries are that I do go through periods of time where I just can' find it in me to bake, kind of like writer's or artist's block. But when I do start up again, I'm on a roll. I always remind myself of the Thursday before holiday break and how in that one day, I managed to make 3 different batches of french macarons, assemble 5 whole gingerbread houses, and wrap over 10 presents. It may not have sounded like a lot, but each batch took about 45 minutes to make, then 30 minutes to assemble, and each gingerbread house to be made, cut, and baked in about 2 hours, plus construction, and wrappings on top. So when I do worry, I tell myself its all okay and then I just wait for my creative juices to get flowing.
