Just for one day?
Baking.
Growing up, my mother disliked cooking and baking. Does that mean that she does not cook? She does.
She cooks simple and easily prepared meals and it was delicious. She still does till this day and it is still good. Maybe it is the touch of love that she pours into her food preparation. But simple is good and simple is gold for me.
When it comes to baking, she simply does not know how to nor does she have the interest. Unless, it is a simple 5 minutes recipe which requires very little ingredients and preparation time.
Thus, growing up, I used to admire the cakes or sweets or cupcakes prepared by my classmates’ mothers which were so beautifully decorated and packaged. I used to envy that their mothers would take the time to bake something out of scratch.
However, since young, I would think to myself that it was alright as albeit my mother not having the interest to bake or really cook, at least she would occasionally buy it for me from the bakery.
True, it is not the same but at least she tries to make up for it.
It was then that I made it a goal that when I grew up (I was 8 years old), that I would do that for my future children.
In high school, we learned how to bake a cake and a pineapple tart, as part of our curriculum in Home Economics. But that was it. I wanted to experiment more! However, I had no oven then.
When I was 15, my parents and I moved into our very own home. After the renovations, my parents installed an oven which came as a free gift along with the purchase of the stove.
Finally, I was able to experiment! So, I did. I started baking various cakes, cupcakes, bread, cookies, you name it. Basically, any form of dessert recipes that I could get my hands on.
I would usually set aside some for my parents and bring my baked goods to my tuition classes or school after that.
I simply loved baking and giving.
However, I do not think that it is something that I am called to do for in life. I found my purpose and it is something different. Nevertheless, it would be something that I would still do because I wanted to.
Thus, a baker, maybe for a day or maybe more.
