to bake, or not to bake…

hello kids.
A lot to update on! I have done so much baking in the past few days… I don’t even know what to do with myself.
As I said on twitter, I went to the NAIT (northern Alberta institute of technology) info session about their baking program. This is a program that my DAD took when he was young. Which I find super cool. I really wanted to look into it, and going to the session was he first step.
After we got a tour of the facilities and a talk about the program, the leader of the session uttered these terrifying words:
“Out of around 200 students that apply a year, we accept 28.”
(enter a crumbling hopes and dreams noise here)
Here’s the thing, that wouldn’t usually bother me. I have the requirements for the program, I have the drive… But, why am I still shaking in my booties? Because I’m not smart enough to get into the damn program. The requirements are grade 10 english and math… but the leader of the session said they expect grade 12 english and math. WHAT? Then why don’t you put that on your damn website, NAIT? I’m just super bummed because 199 students are going to apply who have the classes I don’t, and I’ll be forced out of the running.
That was the first thing that made me sad about it. Until I had a good talk with my Dad about it. I’m still considering it, I have until march 31st to apply.
Now on to the important thing: the food.
With this frenzy of thinking about my future and wanting to bake more.. I made 2 key recipes.
Buttermilk Biscuits and Cinnamon Buns.





The recipes, again, are long and if you want them… Let me know and I will send them to you somehow. I think I may or may not have just caught diabetes from the cinnamon buns. I know you can’t catch it, before you all start trollin’. It’s just how delicious they were. Mmmmm.
Anyway, I have to clean my kitchen now, and try to figure my life out. I also need to record a video for wheezy waiter.
I love him.
Later, kids.
