They just couldn't keep me away. After graduation, I became the assistant pastry teacher for the next session of the Professional Pastry Program at my school. At many points in my life, I have considered going back to graduate school, perhaps getting a PhD in Public Policy, Social Work, or heck -- maybe even Statistics. In fact, I've been to the optometrist an embarrassing number of times begging him or her to find some defect in my eyes that would necessitate my donning academic-looking black rimmed glasses. (Sadly, my eyes always test 20/20). I've enjoyed many a night snuggled in my cubicle among the library stacks, I've purchased every shade of high-lighter and every shape of post-it note. Studying, researching, analytical writing, power-point presentations -- the true spice of life. But I also have this bug for baking. So here's my recipe-test for combining my ambitions: Academic meets sugar. I'm the new Pastry Professor.
