Five Minute Friday - Cooking vs. Baking

I wasn’t thrilled with the prompt for this week’s Five Minute Friday, so a friend of mine gave me a new one. Cooking vs. Baking

Go

To me, the difference between cooking and baking is like the difference between:

House and home

Hand and heart

Average and spectacular

Necessity and desire

Need and want

Everyone needs to eat.  Without basic sustenance, the average human being would die, so you need to know how to cook a meal. Luckily, for me, things can be easily microwaved and still result in some form a basic food. Survival.

But, just like your mom taught you when you were growing up, you have to eat your dinner before you get to eat dessert. Dessert isn’t a necessity; it’s a privilege. That’s why heart goes into making it.  You can’t bake an apple pie without putting love into it.

Stop

I could go on, but my five minutes ended. :(

Thank you, Melissa, for a topic that made me smile while I wrote!
