Congrats! Welcome to the pack -- or should it be called "an awkward of autists" instead 😸
Cool 😎 congratz!
Congratulations!
Good looking bread always gets an upvote from me, regardless of the sub. Those baguettes look delicious. How do you transfer them to the baking sheet? Mine always end up scraggly and not straight.
I got a baguette peel. It's essentially just a small board for moving baguettes. Small ones for home baking are fairly inexpensive. If you don't want to invest in a wooden one, you can make one out of cardboard.
Went to a wedding this weekend. It was nice but very overwhelming. I'm also still recovering from an ear infection so the speakers and also the drums from the Chinese dragon dance seemed to hit the eustachian tube in my throat/ear in a painful way. I stayed until the music started and then headed out. Fortunately my friend and his wife already know I'm not a huge fan of weddings so they were already happy I was able to make it out to their wedding day.
Spent the rest of the weekend hanging out with my friends in the city. I learned that my friend talks in her sleep and it's hilarious. We watched a movie at her partner's place and she fell asleep during the movie. At one point later in the movie, she said "Spoiler, he's a gnome!" Spoiler, there was no gnome in the movie. Later in the night she turned to me and said "you're not a girl!" in a very disappointed voice. My favourite was when she said "shake ya tit!" Just a singular tit. Even when she's sleeping, she can still make me laugh. I love her so much.
Overall a good weekend. Looking forward to my tattoo this Friday. My artist showed me the initial sketch this weekend and I'm already in love with it. Been going to her for over two years now because I love her art so much. I'm excited.
Sounds like a good weekend!
