My first love...

My first love was baking, well before I wanted to be an astronaut, a cop, and all the other crazy ideas I had when I was little.  I love to bake!  I always wanted to open my own bakery/restaurant type deal.  It was my dream for a long time.  Then came the Navy... I was a cook in the Navy, and I enjoyed it for a while, but that is where I learned I didn't want to cook or bake for my occupation.  I didn't mind waking up extra early to prep food for hungry customers.  I do mind taking all that time away from my family to do so.  It takes a lot of time, and most of your life to devote it to cooking or baking.  Everyone wakes up in the morning and wants a muffin, or a bagel... well you have to be up extra early to make it for them nice and fresh.  So I decided baking would still be my love, but its my love I do for my hobby.  Here are some cookies I baked today....
