Food

[Henry Krinkle]

Hm. You got me thinking. Why don't I have something I want to do, like make cheese? Over the years, I managed to learn many things, from making Chicago-style pizza for my wife to fixing watches, to pouring lead into molds and making projectiles for black powder cartridges. And, as far as I am concerned, perfected making steaks. But here I sit at 61, with zip, nada in terms of want to do's. In looking back, I had seven life time events since May of 2010. One almost killed me. Two would of killed me if left undisturbed, and two that would have debilitated me if left undisturbed. Two were extremely happy, the wedding of my two children. Heck, at this age, I figured I'd be retired and enjoying grandchildren, but I am doing neither. I think I spent too much time pulling through and not enough time looking forward.

So your post has me thinking. I need to set a goal for something to do, cooking related. But I need to talk to Mrs. Dan R. Embarking on making great pastries will do us no good if it kills us from too many calories!

Thanks,

Dan

Wow, you have had a busy year! I am glad you have come out of it OK with some really great memories.

Yeah, the calories can be a deciding factor for sure. I'll have to watch how much cheese I make. I am genetically pre-disposed to elevated cholesterol, though in truth I can keep it under control simply by doing exercise and not being a complete idiot regarding food.
