… we have a lot in common!
You’ve probably heard the old saying, “You need the right tool for the right job”?
This came to mind when I heard a discussion on cookery lessons on the radio.
When I was at school we had weekly cookery classes in the half term running up to Easter.
Now, I consider myself a fairly good cook – my father-in-law polished off 2 helpings of my plum crumble at the weekend (with custard that was the perfect consistency for both him and my husband! That difference of opinion is definitely a story for another time 😂).
But the chat about school days reminded me about a baking mishap that wasn’t exactly my fault – I promise!
Picture this: French Apple Tart week. Glorious puff pastry with a luscious layer of stewed apple, and on top of that, thinly sliced apple arranged in perfect concentric circles.
My creation? A masterpiece, if I do say so myself.
So, I pop it into the school oven, and it’s baking up like a dream. The colour? A beautiful rich golden brown. I was on cloud nine
But then, out of nowhere, calamity strikes.
The school ovens were these fancy ones with inner glass doors.
The idea was that you could check on your bake without messing up the temperature.
However those glass doors had a mind of their own: thick, heavy, and prone to dramatic swings.
So as I take my tart out, the inner door decides to go rogue and slams into my tart, sending it on an unplanned flight across the floor.
This memory got me thinking. Having the wrong tools for the job – in this case, those wonky oven doors – can take a beautiful creation and turn it into a disaster.
And it doesn’t just apply to ovens and tarts. Having the right legal advice for your advertising and marketing is like having a top-notch tool in your business toolkit.
Think of me as a trusty sous chef helping you keep your tarts firmly on the plate where they belong!
