The Bakery Veteran


      Hello! My name is Colin, and I am the grizzled, hardened veteran of the Terrier Bakery. Being back on the field, I've found that I still have what it takes to cope with any unforeseen event, and apprehend my prey, a successful bake-off. The fresh-meat needs direction, and I am just the man who can show them the terrors of the field, and how to break through. The difficulties of measuring the ingredients, of mixing the dough, of shaping the dough, of efficiently getting the dough into the oven, and of getting bread out. There will be mistakes, but the newbies need to learn that there is no room for panic, only room for improvisations, and experimentation. There needs to be a synergistic, mellow veil over the bakery at all times, and jokingly forgiving any mistakes is enough to keep our troop in high morals. On days when it feels more like a battlefield , and my troop are frantically and desperately killing their way through order after order of bread, I try to wave a flag of peace to bring back the calm shroud of joyous bread-making.
