Okay, so today I tried making something sweet. I decided to put together chocolate, peanut butter, and more chocolate. Sounds good, right? I’m not a professional baker or anything, but I like messing around in the kitchen. First, I gathered all the stuff I needed. I got some dark chocolate because that’s my favorite – it’s not too sweet but still super rich. I also ...

Okay, so, today I tried to make a bakery item based on Portuguese sweet bread. I’ve always been a fan of those slightly sweet, fluffy breads, and I thought, “Why not give it a shot myself?” So, I looked up some stuff online about Portuguese sweet bread – apparently, it’s also known as Hawaiian bread, who knew? Anyway, I found a recipe that seemed pretty ...

Today, I was thinking about making some cookies, but then I realized I didn’t have any of those fancy non-stick baking pans. All I had were these regular old metal ones.

Okay, so I’ve been messing around with different flours lately, trying to get that perfect loaf, you know? And let me tell you, this pumpernickel flour thing, it’s a whole other world. I started out like I always do, hitting up the local stores. I grabbed a bag of this dark, kind of coarse-looking flour. I learned from the internet that it’s called pumpernickel flour ...

Okay, so I decided to mess around with these Diamond Head Soda Crackers. I’d heard a thing or two about them, you know, being around for like, forever. Figured, why not give ’em a shot? First off, I went and grabbed a pack from the store. Not gonna lie, the packaging had this old-school vibe that kinda took me back. Ripped it open, and there ...

Okay, so the other day, I was cleaning out my fridge, and I found this old bottle of lemon juice tucked away in the back. I mean, this thing was ancient. The expiration date was like, six months ago! I was about to toss it, but then I thought, “Wait a minute, can I still use this stuff?” I’m a big fan of using natural ...

Okay, so today I wanted to mess around with making some bread. I’ve got this recipe I’ve been itching to try, but there’s one little problem – I realized I didn’t have a dough scraper. A what?
