Today's challenge is about sharing something non-fannish with my f-list. Usually I'm not one to share personal details with my f-list because I'm paranoid that someone will do a Google search and figure out who I am IRL. But I have to share something I do that isn't fannish, and here it is: I bake.
Without delving deep into information I've put elsewhere on the internet, initially I thought I was a cook. But cooking (professionally) taxed me out. It was too stressful and I turned into an emotionless shell. I had to leave.
Now that I'm far away from the world of professional cookery, I've discovered that I can make damn good pastries. I don't have any photos to show you all, but I've made things as simple as pizza dough and as complex (not really) as pies and cheesecakes. I regret possibly making pastries for about 1/3 of the day a career. Then again, maybe not.
