I find baking really difficult too - it’s much easier to measure spices and things by eye if you’re making a curry or a stew but baking is about following all of the measurements and procedures to the letter.

Good luck and godspeed.

Yeah! I think that’s what the problem is, as well with savoury cooking you can generally try it as you go, whereas with your doughs and your batters etc that’s not really the case.

Thank you! I’ll try MB as slicky suggested and see how we go. At least I know for a fact my cake tin doesn’t have a sneaky plastic label ripe for melting all over the bottom of the oven, so that’s already a good start.

I find bread way harder than cakes or brownies etc, don’t worry if it takes a while! Plenty of people never even try so you’ve made the first step whixh is the most important one

All the kitchen lights died - far too dark and dingy

Replaced them all - far too bright and blinding

Up at the inlaws. Watching the playoff final - dire stuff so far.

Decided not to try out my new running trainers on a run today cause it has pissed down all day. Might go early tomorrow.

Not quite as peaceful as it looks as on the other side there was some sort of latin dancercise class going on with rather loud music. Still, I’ll take it :+1:

(and contrary to my mum’s warnings about she doesn’t “know who uses the park at this time of night”, it was all families, dog walkers, and dancercise class members. Thnkks for scaring me, mum, and making me think the man walking behind me for 30 seconds was up to no good)

It starts off so promising as well, and then as your eyes go further it’s like “oh… oh dear”

Evening, the hoover suddenly shut off and made this weird burning smell that absolutely stinks, so it’s sitting outside and Google says the motor is ruined. Excellent. Chuck me your cheap, but decent hoover recommendations please, under 100 notes preferable.

Taking walks to nice places like this can pretty much be a day-saver for me. I took a walk to the nearby big lake thing and it improved my mood soooooOOOooo massively much :slight_smile:
