Our World Today
We live in a
world full of processed food. As Americans, we no longer pull the bag of flour
out and whip up a delicious treat. Now, we find it easier to drive to the store
and pick up a pie in the frozen food section, but what’s the fun in that?
I want people to
realize that food has more to it than just eating, the process that gets you
there is what is most important. Baking is not just about eating your final
product, it is the aroma that fills your nose as it bakes in the oven, the
sensation you get as you mix together ingredients, and the accomplishing
feeling that fills your heart as the first “mmmm” emerges from your guests.
This seems like a cliché thing to say, but it really is true. Whether your
baking comes out good, or it turns out bad, you have to realize that along the
way you learned something that you can use for your future recipes.
Not only does
baking teach you something new each time, and give you something appetizing to
enjoy, it also brings people together. Sometimes my favorite part of baking is
the conversation that goes along with it. Often, when I am trying out a new
recipe, I’ll ask my family to try it. The taste of the food, or the way it
looks almost always reminds someone of an old story or something that happened.
So drop the keys and pick up a mixing spoon, and lets get baking.
