  • I want to make everyone good loaves of bread for Christmas this year, what are the best recipes? Can I make dough ahead of time and freeze it?
  • Happyhermit87 Happyhermit87 Now 100%

    I will try that, thank you! I also read putting a pan on the rack above the loaf helps? Any truth to that or is that something that depends on the oven or something?

  • I've only recently got into baking these last few months after losing my job and having the time to really try and learn. Most have come out pretty good so far. I'd like to try to make everyone on my list (not many, like 10 or so people) some tasty bread for Christmas as a gift, I plan to aslo make apple butter and maybe something else to go along. I'm just looking for ideas and tips as a beginner cooking several loaves for the first time. I don't have a dutch oven, it's been on my list for several Christmas' but they're just so expensive. So I would be using a good old oven for baking them. I saw that putting a pan of water in the oven helps make it crispy. Anything else I can do to help with the process? Thanks in advance for any help!

    Had a cottagecore night where I made flatbreads from scratch, felt good.

    Unfortunately, I was starving by the time I finished them and ate them so fast that I didn't think to take pictures, but this is the recipe I used

    TJ Maxx and similar stores have pretty good prices on basic bras. I got three for $18 like three years ago and I haven't needed any others since.

    Just be naked, same effect, less money in my experience. (Unless you mean like underwear, then unfortunately we're stuck, but everything else, yeah, thrift)

    Does a "10 hour drive" include breaks?
  • Happyhermit87 Happyhermit87 Now 100%

    The time is usually an estimate, or the best case scenario in my head. If I have to stop and add more time, I do. But 10 hours is probably what google maps told me it is. I drove straight 9 hours or so once, I think I stopped twice to use the bathroom/get a snack. Got there at 2am. It was rough, wouldn't do it again.

  • What is something really stupid you purchased that turned out far better than expected?
  • Happyhermit87 Happyhermit87 Now 100%

    Hello, I am the tumble dry spouse and the number of times I've been thwapped in the face with elastic in the middle of the night is too damn high. I'm going to get some of these. Do you have a tutorial or explanation of how you sewed some?

  • Happyhermit87 Happyhermit87 Now 100%

    So far so good, drivers were removed fine and it seems the software installer is picking up the graphics card. The drivers are installing now and I'll restart once it's done and hopefully that gets us where we need to be.

    Yeah I was thinking about getting a bit wacky with it, but I'm not sure if my husband would be on board. But I'll start with removing the vaneer and sanding down, definitely. Thanks!

    How to repair damaged interior doors?

    Every door in my house looks like this due to past owner pets and a bit of my own cats helping the damage along. It's been a project on the list for years and now i'm finally getting to it. I, of course, started with looking at new doors. But my doors are a non-standard size as far as I can tell (29.75in x 79.25in) so I think I would have to get the cut custom to fit? I then looked into things like peel and stick wallpaper and the like but I don't know if that will look good, or lay properly flat since it's so damaged and, of course, my cats just need one swipe to damage it yet again. Then I looked into the wood filler, which I didn't know was a thing until I saw a comment on a door repair video. But I'm not sure if that will work here? So that's all that I've researched but I'm unsure as to what the best approach is, any help would be appreciated. I would really like to make as little waste and spend as little money as possible, while still have staying power to the repair. How would you go about it? Any tips/tricks? Thanks for the help!

    I dreamt my mom was screaming at me to find my little sister in a giant grocery store. Haven't spoken to either of them in a decade, no idea where that came from.
