Star Crunch Snack Cakes versus Social Anxiety
Registering for my Improv acting class was like contemplating Star Crunch snack cakes.
So here’s the thing, you can put sugar, butter and chocolate on dirt and I’ll pretty much eat it. If caramel’s involved, then all bets are off. Jacques Torres could come to my house wit... | ['Improv', 'Humor', 'Life Lessons', 'Baking', 'Food'] |

The Great British Baking Show rekindled my love and obsession for baking. It’s a fantastic TV show where even the judges are helpful and kindly explain why the contestant is not going to advance to the next level. They’re almost apol... | ['Nostalgia', 'Friendship', 'Humor', 'Baking', 'Dessert'] |
The last few weeks have been busy, busy, busy as my little bigger brother would say. So much happening at the triplex. We’ve had a recurring gas smell in one of the apartments so we bit the bullet and had the entire house repiped. It’s never fun to put money into a crawl space but it’s a relief to have that fixed. One ... | ['Pickling', 'Plumbing', 'DIY', 'Recipe', 'Baking'] |

Time, Temperature, and Yeast
Any sourdough bread recipe will have a bunch of steps with specific timelines they recommend. Half hour to rest, a few hours to bulk ferment, another period to proof. The problem with most recipes is that they’re written for the author’s specific kitchen and starter.

Hello! This is my first Medium post. Baking and cooking have always been one of my favorite things, but I’ve been really getting into experimenting with new recipes and making them more allergy friendly (but you can hardly tell) during this quarantine time.
One of my absolute favorites right now is a gluten free/dairy... | ['Muffins', 'Gluten Free', 'Baking', 'Dairy Free', 'Food'] |
Around this time last year, I worked for a bakery social enterprise and wrote a short blog post about mindful baking and the link between the rising popularity of baking alongside increasing rates of people suffering from mental health difficulties.

Final Assessment
Growing up in the early 2000s, I have seen and experienced the creation and implementation of different technology and what not.

Three days at the campsite meant making meals in a very different setting than I am used to in my home kitchen. My partner and I came well-prepared, though. We had chicken thighs, ground beef, eggs, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, sandwich materials, and much more. It may have been a little more food than two people need f... | ['Camping', 'Redwoods', 'Baking', 'Humboldt', 'Cooking'] |
