Time spent in the kitchen can be considered time well spent. I'm referring to cooking as opposed to just eating. Everyone likes to eat but not everyone likes to cook. Now baking, that's another story. I assure you, not everyone can bake. If you've ever tried it, you know it's not easy but once you get the hang of it, it's so worthwhile! I must admit there are many trials and errors in baking. Some mistakes can leave an indelible mark. But that shouldn't deter the aspiring baker! Where would humanity be if a person gave up so easily?
