Cream Cheese Muffins, DISC Test
奶油奶酪瑪芬, DISC 性格测试

也许是兴趣,更多是个性,让我和烘焙结下不解之缘。如果说烘焙最让我着迷的地方,应该是它的整个过程,而不单单是它的结果。快乐的时候,做糕点,和大家分享我的快乐;郁闷的时候,也会做糕点,因为要专心,专注,心里会渐渐平静,暂时忘却那些嘈杂的声音, 繁乱的人和事。感觉和做瑜珈有异曲同工之妙。只是我的烘焙“疗法”,更胜一筹,化烦恼为美食,美哉乐哉。

说到性格,想到之前做过的一个很有名的性格测试 DISC,很准的。DISC 是 Dr.Williams Moulton Marston 的理论。它可以帮助你更好地了解你自己的行为模式。很多大公司内部都有这个测试。在网上看到一个简易版DISC , 试了试,结果和以前做的完整版类似。想知道你是哪个类型的人吗?高D,高I,高S,还是高C?有空可以试试这个链接。免费的。也可以参考这里去了解对各个类型的具体分析。人是复杂的,你对自己又了解多少呢?


最近一直在做瑪芬,方子都大同小异,所以没有一一写出来。相信只要有心做的人,都可以举一反三。享受美食的同时,体会个中奥妙,真是乐趣无穷。奶油奶酪瑪芬还算特别,与一般的瑪芬不同的是它的“内在美”。奶酪作为内馅,咬下去给人一种惊喜。聪明的你,也许会以这个方子为基础,做果酱馅,花生酱馅的瑪芬吧?看看我们谁先贴出来,互相欣赏欣赏啊。
