And so it begins...

Another year has begun and along with it some exciting new challenges.  I spent the holidays in Canton, and after 2 cancelled flights, finally made it back to Denver on New Year's Day.  Dan picked me up at the airport and we stopped off at Steuben's for a late breakfast with all those people who had been up all night ringing in the new year.  My stay in Denver didn't last long, as on Tuesday I headed to Albuquerque.  Back to Denver on Wednesday night and then .....ta da......Pastry School began on Thursday!  The first week down, I have to tell you that I LOVE IT!  It's so great to be back in a commercial kitchen again and making such delicious looking things.  I love that I am learning all the science behind why things work and why they don't.  I think it will be a bit of a challenge because generally, my brain is more concerned with the creative aspect of anything I do, not necessarily the mechanics of it.  But I love to learn new things all the time, so I look forward to the challenge.  I get to spend some time in Colorado this week, no airport, but I did have to battle the snowy roads this morning to get to work.  It's always something.  Happy New Year.
