In addition to running the Round House Cafe, Scott is also a master baker, he bakes bread and pies and dough for pizza. I went to the bakery to visit him today, and he offered to teach me how to roll and prepare the dough used for pizza. Scott is a demanding teacher, and I am struggling a bit to figure out just how to tighten the dough balls, it sounds easy but is not, and Scott is demanding.

Perhaps because I had so much trouble in school, I relish learning new things in life. Scott is going to give me regular baking lessons there is something grounding and satisfying about it. Scott and Lisa are still trying to figure out how hey can keep their care in our community, they have several options they are considering now.

I loved preparing the dough, but it is hard and demanding work. It is always a gift to learn something new, that is the way to keep the mind open. I’m eager to learn baking.
