line a day: "I don't like food that's too carefully arranged; it makes me think that the chef is spending too much time arranging and not enough time cooking. If I wanted a picture I'd buy a painting." ~Andy Rooney ~ I agree, Andy! However, the same does NOT apply to baking...

gratitude: When I was a freckle faced 5year old, I did not sit on my bed painting pictures in my mind of a grown up self teaching, living in an apartment, saving, instead of spending, my money. However, I didn't picture the amazing relationships I have either. Guess things do work out for the best :-)
