Hello all. I am so happy to be on this forum. Pastry has been a passion of mine for 11 years now. I read and watch everything I can to learn for learning's sake. I have spent the last 18 years raising children and am now thinking about a life in pastry-still considering possibilities. Although my interest on this forum is mostly pastry-centric, I love to cook savory, as well. I admit that I still get a little shiver down my back every time the garlic hits the hot olive oil!  :rolleyes: In any case, I look forward to increasing my knowledge through the generous offerings of the people on this board, as well as humbly putting in my two cents for any topic I feel I can add to. Thanks in advance to all for your sharing.

Sincerely,

AKS613

Welcome, AKS!

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

"...in the mid-’90s when the internet was coming...there was a tendency to assume that when all the world’s knowledge comes online, everyone will flock to it. It turns out that if you give everyone access to the Library of Congress, what they do is watch videos on TikTok."  -Neil Stephenson, author, in The Atlantic

 

"In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual." -Galileo Galilei, physicist and astronomer
