um... surfing the internet? But I would actually like getting paid for that.

Ah, baking! It's something I do because it's fun, it has a tasty result and I can experiment. But I wouldn't want to feel pressure that "omg! it has to be sellable" or keep doing the same things day after day, year after year. Either I would end up really fat, or hating sugar and both are horrible destinies

A couple of months ago I almost got a job just like that.

Baking! I've always been okay at cooking, but baking has been a huge mystery to me until recently when Stanja started baking bread. I'm pretty good at bread now, but sweeter stuff is still a mystery and my cinnamon buns turn out funky. So I'm in awe of everyone who can master the sw33t dough.

I acutally rarely have the patience for sweet yeast breads. But, I can spend an hour fiddling with some piece of decoration for a christmas sweet... my logic, working it is not.

You sound very much like that kind of person, who (when your friends have settled down and grown up) will always be expected to bake for parties and such ^^ (you know "can you bake a cake for my 30th Biorthday party, pleeeease? I'll pay you of course, but it just feels so much more peersonal!")

Haha. I'm already master-of-desserts when it comes to family birthdays, so to bake for friends would be fun.

...as long as they have reasonable requests. No cream, no chocolate, no vanilla sauce, not too sweet, not an ice-cream cake and it has to be pretty? wtf, little sister, do you want something made entirely of fruit and flour?

I'd be very tempted to give her a pretty apple. But if that's your sister, I guess you just don't joke like that.
