Fandom Snowflake Challenge: Day 5, a non-fannish thing

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.

Baking is awesome. Very soothing (when it goes right). You should check out The Daring Bakers... baking the same thing (with your own twist on it) within a vast group is a lot of fun!
