Apricots. Before getting in this trade, I wanted to be a chef. I started cooking very early on at home. When you bake apricots, you just put the fruits on top of the dough, and stick that in the oven. After a couple of minutes, the scent of those fruits become really strong. Today, if I do the same thing, bam! I lose 50 years and I’m back in front of my mom’s oven.

It’s a nice article. If I knew he wore HR religiously, I’d forgotten.
Oh good post! Wow, he looks pretty good for 58 years old if I may say so
I wish I knew what his mom was baking? Do you think it was a cookie? Or more of a soft dough? I really think I’d like to put some apricots in the oven!
For some reason I assumed an apricot tart, but it’s hard to tell.
