One of the joys of working with young people is that they come back. Since winter break happens around the same time at all the colleges, people from east and west coasts and places in between have been visiting to tell me about their studies and their experiences. Seeing these students grow and mature is rewarding in all ways except for chocolate. I don't really eat candy much, and if I did it wouldn't be chocolate but I have boxes of Ferrero Rocher that simply go to waste at my house.
Tomorrow two of my "kids" are coming over and I am going to teach them how to make Danish pastry. I know that one of these young women loves to cook and wants to get better but I don't think the other one cooks at all so it will be interesting. Danish is such a fascinating series of steps, each one integral to succeeding, that it is very much like engineering which both of these young women want to pursue as careers.
