I’m going to a Sunday BBQ out in the Inland Empire region of greater Los Angeles on Sunday. Just because I make cookies for a living, however, doesn’t mean it is presumed I will bring cookies nor that I actually want to make them for the get together. In this case, however, I probably will make some simple little cookies to have with coffee/tea or just a little desert.
It reminds me of a pianist I once knew who played twice daily for a melodrama theater during the summer months. Because I have a passion for piano but am no pianist, I asked him if he practiced during the day when not in the theater, and he said he never played outside of the theater, never played for pleasure for himself or for a non-paying audience. I understand that now.
I don’t bake for pleasure for myself unless it’s a gift for someone. Otherwise I simply don’t bake cookies. It’s nice to have the calm between the storms.
Hi,
I do bake for myself and others, I love the art of decorating cookies and seeing the final outcome.
