I've noticed when I learn something new and try new things, it's a rush. Call me weird but learning new things for me is exciting. It opens the world that much more. It makes me revisit the age old saying, 'the more you know, the more you realize you DON'T know!" Learning about artisan bread lately has brought this all back to mind as well as made me rethink all the things I've learned by just reading on the internet! We should all feel so fortunate that so much information is out there for our use, for good things to happen. I know there's bad things out there to, I'm not stupid, we should be aware of those and protect against those 'misleading' web sites but let's focus on the GOOD! Our brains love learning (at least mine does) and sharing! That's why I love blogging too...to share those new things with others' who love to learn as well (even though I sit here and think, "I know what Julia was feeling like on the movie Julia and Julia (is anyone out there reading this?")
As I look back at the cakes I've decorated I'm reminded of all the things I've picked up because of others' blogging online. I'm now using a new buttercream icing recipe picked up at Cake Central and have improved my technique of mixing it to a consistency of 'air pocket free' because of You Tube! More thoughts on this later ...my grandkids have just arrived and it's time to do some "Gramma-ing!"
