5. Writer
6. Graphic Designer
7. Artist

10. Critic

I must have accidentally given the computer the impression that I have any visual artistic skill whatsoever.  Of those, Writer and Critic are the only two that appeal to me.  I mean, I basically just criticize things and people all the time every day, so I would totally love to get paid for it.

Translator, a fairly realistic job for me, came in at 12; Historian at 13.  Archivist at 20.

Made Vegan Upside-down Peach Cake.  Very tasty, but the recipe could use some work.  The cake part needs to be more and more flavorful.  It calls for ginger, lemon juice and lemon zest, but I couldn't really detect any of those to my liking.  I would add more, and perhaps add some spices (nutmeg, mace or allspice would be my first choices).  The peach/sugar syrup part is very sweet and I agree with VeganYumYum's assessment that it could use some earth balance buttery spread for a savory balance.  Furthermore, I think it could be cooked longer and carmelized more than the recipe suggests.  The other problem I have is that it has a sort of floury taste, but i think that the only way to solve that would be to make it not a vegan cake.  I served it with some Soy Whipped Topping and called it good.  It would go very, very well with a cup of black tea.
