Hey everyone, I just spent my day doing a little experiment with my digital scale and thought I’d share my process and findings. I needed a digital scale conversion chart. I wanted to make sure I had accurate conversions for my kitchen digital scale. First, I grabbed my digital scale from the kitchen. These things are super common nowadays, and they’re pretty handy for cooking ...

Okay, so I’ve been craving this Portuguese sweet bread lately, you know, the kind they call “Pao Doce” or something like that. I’m no expert on this stuff, but I just had to find some. I started by hitting up the internet, searching for “Portuguese sweet bread near me.” Searched online for “Portuguese sweet bread near me.” Found a bunch of listings on Yelp for ...

So, the other day I was cooking, right? And I grabbed my bottle of vegetable oil, like I always do. But this time, I noticed something that I’d never really paid attention to before. It’s one of those things that’s been right under my nose this whole time, you know? So, I usually just rip that little plastic seal off the top of the bottle ...

Okay, so I’ve been trying to eat a little healthier lately, and you know how it is – you start looking at what you’re eating, and it’s all chips and cookies. So, I started this whole journey to find some better snack options. I went to the grocery store and started browsing the cracker aisle. There are just so many options, it’s kinda crazy, right? ...

Today I’m gonna tell you about how I messed around with some soda crackers – the “export” kind, you know? Those thin, crispy little squares that are kinda plain but still addictive. I had this big tin of Keebler’s Export Sodas, the 28oz one, just sitting in my pantry, calling my name. So, first things first, I had to get these crackers out of the ...

Okay, so today I wanted to figure out just how much granulated sugar weighs. You know, like when you’re baking and the recipe calls for a cup of sugar, but you want to be precise and use a kitchen scale instead. I mean, who doesn’t want to be sure they’re getting the right amount, right? So, I grabbed my trusty kitchen scale, a measuring cup, ...

Okay, so, today I wanted to mess around with this thing called a “sensitive scale.” I’d heard about these scales that can supposedly tell you how sensitive you are as a person. Sounds kinda woo-woo, but I was curious. First, I dug around online to find a decent scale. There’s a bunch of them, but I eventually settled on one called the Highly Sensitive Person ...

Okay, so today I tried making mac n cheese bread bowls. Let me tell you, it was quite an adventure! First off, I gathered all the stuff I needed. I’m talking pasta, like, a whole box of elbow macaroni, a bunch of different cheeses – cheddar, Gruyere, and some Parmesan, because why not? Then there’s the usual suspects: butter, flour, milk, and some spices. Oh, ...

Alright, folks, let me tell you about my latest kitchen adventure. I’ve been doing a lot of baking lately, and I realized my old way of measuring stuff just wasn’t cutting it. You know, the classic “scoop and sweep” method with cups and spoons? Yeah, that’s been my go-to, but my cookies were coming out all different sizes and my cakes were denser than a ...

Okay, so today I wanted to mess around with this stuff called ammonium baking powder. I’d heard a bit about it and was curious, you know? It’s supposed to make cookies and crackers super light and crispy, which sounds pretty awesome. First, I got my hands on some of this baking ammonia. It’s actually called ammonium bicarbonate, but whatever, it’s the same thing. It’s this ...
