    toasted almond drink
    This drink combines two of my favorite liqueurs: Kahlua and amaretto. It's made slightly creamy and thicker by using evaporated milk instead of regular milk, but it works perfectly well with either, honestly. I mix the ingredients in a small shaker and then serve it on ice with a sprinkling of ground cinnamon. Use cinnamon sticks in place of swizzle sticks.

      I enjoyed reading about your struggles -- it's eye-opening. Everyone dreams of changing careers, but to have the guts to do it and the balls to write about the challenges you've faced is really admirable.

      That said, I made your drink as soon as I finished reading. So thanks for the read and the recipe, and best of luck in your new pursuits!

        I'm glad you enjoyed the drink! When I started to write this post, I was embarrassed at my stumbling/difficulties, and I almost didn't write about them, but I am glad I did because a lot of people seem to think it's so easy to change careers, like you just flip a switch and BAM! you are a baker/pastry-maker-extraordinaire! haha! Not so, but I will persevere!

      Ah chum. All I can say is, I started over about 4 years ago and I completely understand how you feel. What I can say is that, it gets better. Much much better. It will be hard and it will leave you feeling bruised and beat up. But if you're as passionate about this as I am about what I do (and I think you are!) it will be worth it. And a year from now you'll look back and be amazed at how far you've come. I promise.

        Oh Melissa, I can't wait to be at that point where I can look back at all I have accomplished and laugh at all the fumbling! I'm glad to see that it's normal to stumble a little at the beginning because I was a bit worried 😉
