Baking and Rediscovering Creativity
Continuing in the “why I bake” series:
Having just read Ignore Everybody by Hugh MacLeod- a particular quote struck me.
“Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten. Then when you hit puberty they take the crayons away and replace them with dry, uninspiring books on algebra, history, etc. Being suddenly hit years later with the ‘creative bug’ is just a wee voice telling you, ‘I’d like my crayons back, please.’”
I think of little creative things to bake all the time, or new and fabulous ways to use the same ol’ baking supplies. Usually, these ideas come when I am doing the most mundane and mind-numbing work on earth. Now I realize this is my five year old Susie- just asking for her crayons.
Just a thought.
