I haven't posted in a while, haven't found anything I though was worthy enough to post about. Not a very good excuse but none the less there it is. It's been crazy around here. I decided I'd had enough of my whirlwind of a life as a barista. It was pretty interesting how it all went down actually. I'd been looking for a baking job and because Josh got his job after posting an add on kijiji I though it couldn't hurt. It took about a week when I had an inquiry from a small Italian bakery looking for a baking assistant. Turns out it's exactly what I wanted for my first experience in the industry, and the hours are exactly what I want. Needless to say, I left Starbucks and haven't looked back... Life is much less stressful these days. For the most part.
I turned 29 last week. I didn't have time to make my birthday cake at home, so I ordered one from work and got paid to decorate it. And then my awesome step sister Christina bought it for me so I literally got paid to make my own cake. I just learned how to pipe roses.
Not too shabby for a weeks worth of practicing. I feel really lucky to be getting this experience, and it's super convenient that they're willing to work around school too. Today was insane. Honestly ridiculous. There is no other way to put it. 2 banana breads, 2 zucchini breads, 32 bran muffins and 18 tea biscuits later. What am I supposed to do with all this?!?!?! Everything's in the freezer right now with the exception of the tea biscuits, I put those to work. For dessert tonight I made Josh a fancy shortcake filled with white chocolate mousse.
I don't particularity like white chocolate but this mousse was so yummy! I have no idea how I managed to bake everything I did at school and then before even starting the mousse make
tzatziki, baba ghanoush, and apricot jam... all before 8:30.
Side note: We got a mini food processor at my first wedding shower last week. I'm so in love with it.
I still need to make cookies for a order but that will have to wait until tomorrow. For now, I've completely exhausted my mind and body, thankfully, and distracted my thoughts from thinking about anything that I just can't handle thinking about anymore. Now it's off to read a trashy western romance novel until I start it all over again tomorrow. I kinda love my life. Like a lot.
