To Be Or Not To Be

Got a text message from my Aunt Ofy this morning thanking me for the banana kleintorte that I gave. She said she's going to miss me and if ever I go, no one would send them desserts anymore. I would miss them too! They have been like family to me. Its been a while since I have actually made something for them. Her daughter Marielle will be taking up culinary after high school so I assured her she'll still get gourmet food regularly. Actually, two of my cousins thought of getting into the culinary profession. Well to help them decide I asked both of them to join me in one of my events. Jade was the first one. I had a wedding at The Penn and I asked her to help me assembel my croquembouch towers. At the end of the day, she made her conclusion and decided to take up fashion design instead. That was not even considered hard core kitchen work. We were inside a function room, sitting down on cushioned chairs, and walking on carpeted floors. I always thought she was more of the fashionista. :) Marielle on the other hand assisted me to assemble a chocolate wedding cake at the Rockwell tent and helped me prepare some items for a consultancy job that I had. After a whole weeks worth of kitchen and paper work, she knew it was for her and was fully decided to take that path after hight school. Feels good to have helped them in a way decide on this very crucial stage in their life. But then again, the search for ones purpose in life does not end when one sets foot in college. Its just the beginning. Good luck my dear cousins! I'm sure you'll do well in whatever field you take!
