Hope you are having a good weekend, Maddie, catching up and resting as you prep to tackle the new week’s challenges. Such beautiful pastries and breads! Dave and I enjoyed seeing Tom and Christa and spring in DC with a weekend together in West Virginia. 💕🌷

This school is INCREDIBLE! Seriously, I love, love, love the opportunities given to experience different techniques (shaping before and after refrigeration etc.) A fabulous way to learn.

The power of experimentation! That's definitely a lesson I'll be carrying with me back home.

Ohhhh no, but oh yes—a discovery: Maritozzi! Could you make a glossary of baked goods by country, Maddie? I'm sure there's a world and journey of discoveries to be made as you make them—I'm losing track! (especially those with oranges, vanilla and fruit!) ;-)

I'm intrigued to hear your elevator pitch! I work with clients who prep for business/marketing/leadership interviews (my small company and passion is mentoring), so now I'm wondering how you have to prepare, the criteria, culture, and format - given all you've experienced before it'd be interesting to hear your compare/contrast!!

Oh, how cool to hear more about your professional background! I'll have to report back after my interview 🤗 And while I'm only at the very beginning of my global baking journey, I absolutely love your idea...someday I hope to be qualified enough to make that list!
