a colleague called in a favour -- she's one of those churchey types, headed off on a mission trip, trying to raise some cash. their plan: sell cookies, several thousand of them, and she wanted me to share some recipes with her and walk them through the process. i denied my ability to teach. she insisted. she came over and we made a batch of chocolate chip cookies - neither chewy nor brittle nor soft, but something, well, completely different. Saleable, fortunately, so she took the sample and the recipe and did some sums and figured that she could make 5 of them for 20 cents and sell them for 2 bucks.
which reminded me of su-lin's bakery-opening aspirations and set me thinking, for the umpteenth time, why not?. there's margin for error in the food industry, you can afford some missteps, i reckon, and there are all those entrepreneurial-whatever-funds that the gahmen has, and, really the only excuse is inertia. that's the only excuse. i want to admit it and move on with life.
