Now as most of you are reading this Kid Mitch is winding down or has already wound down from his gig of presenting in the Saint Agnes Baking co. kitchen in the creative activities building at the state fair. This year wasn't different than any other year of my 5 years presenting at the MN State Fair except for one thing. This year I was able to realize this was my 5th presentation I've done since starting this gig and I could draw from experiences past. I always could have drawn from my previous experiences after doing my first presentation all that while ago but this time was different, I was consciously able to reflect on them. Anyways so after this years presentation was over with I felt in my heart I had blew it and that it was my worst in 3 years. But after a short while Klecko, the CEO of Saint Agnes and moderator of festivities at their presentation kitchen, not to mention friend and presentation mentor as well, told me that he thought it was one of my better one's and that I was reassured by other close people from my think tank that they loved it as well I started feeling better. But while winding down I realize that it's not truly about me and my feelings, it's about sharing an art form with a few dozen people from around the state each year and sharing something that every culture, religion, and just all around people have in common: Food and the love of it.
