Co**ha attempt #1 was a fail but I have other idears 😤

Tomorrow I'm probably going to make pie pastry because I just gotta accept I need to practice in order to not hate it 🫠

The cool thing about baking is that the way YOU learned to do it successfully and consistently is the best way to do it. You don't have to fix something that isn't broken just because your favourite cookbook author says so.

I learned by using volume measure and that meant that, especially for breads, I had to get a really good idea of what a dough is meant to look and feel like in order to come out right. Do I tend to now prefer recipes that also have weight measurements? Yes. But the intuition I gained from learning by using volume measurement helped me understand how other things affect bread dough, such as humidity in the air or how different flours absorb moisture.

Don't let anyone tell you that there's only one way to do everything when it comes to baking. It's a science, sure, but guess what scientists also get to do: experiment.

I forgot that I bought a bunch of blueberries so I gotta make a pie this week 🤔

I'm thinking of using ginger and lime which is a flavour combo I got from a Bon Appetit recipe years ago and it's SO GUD

Hopefully I don't f**k up the crust 🫠 pray for me lol

Living in the Annapolis Valley for the last five years and seeing just how much so many are struggling is extremely disheartening, especially when I also see such a loud minority advocating against helping people in need.

Most of us are one really bad week away from not making rent. Most of us have to worry about how much extra is being racked up on our power bills when we can only make a minimum payment, and rates just keep going up. Some of us struggle with addiction, mental illness, sheer bad f**kin luck.

If you're one of those reluctant to give to someone who is hungry just because you are worried what they might "actually" use the money for, do everyone else a favour and keep that bitterness to yourself. I hope you never need to ask for help, but when you do, I hope you are humbled when others help you no questions asked. The reality is that it likely won't change your mind, but hopefully I've planted a seed.

We all need to help each other. Get off your high horses, stop blaming the individual and start looking at the system that cultivated them.
