I officially started a new phase in my life a week ago by retiring from AnswerLine. I want to celebrate by starting a new blog to document this next step. Baby steps into creativity! For some reason, I have always been a realist, seeing things in black and white and accepting things at face value. I have always enjoyed pictures that look like something - not an abstract drawing left to the mind of a creative individual that wanders all around the hazy image they perceive. That carries over into the cooking and baking world, when I have had the deep need to follow a recipe exactly as it is written, only sometimes finding the need to change the recipe to give it a healthier profile. NEVER changing it to call it my own for the sake of creativity! It is time to change, but it will take a serious push to do so. I hope to document my progress through this blog. I hope to explore the realm of photography (which up until now has never even tickled my interest) and find creative uses for words to describe the food I hope to cook and bake. Thank you, Trevor, for nudging me to this beginning!
