Meanwhile, 13 years down the road from finishing a PhD, the US department of education thinks I should take out a student loan.

Could I use another PhD? Hmmm.

I'm noting the differently coloured surround and find it fascinating. It's a technique used in wax stamping today and I don't know why I thought it was modern.

The problem with really hot pepper puree is measurement. It's so easy to overshoot or undershoot. By a lot.

Played with polymer clay today. Not sure what they'll become, probably a bracelet? Need to be baked, sanded, coated with UV resin, and drilled.

Needs sugar sprinkling again, and I'd not include a layer of butter next time. Wondering if anybody would notice this slice out of the middle.... 🤣

Won't cut it until tomorrow. Man, this is huge! 🤣

Remember:
- stollen may be used to blackmail your relatives
- the cookie sheets are pretending to be craft trays
- silpats are not cutting boards

Bear in mind, I'm that friend who comes over and organizes your cabinets.

Why is the cornmeal in the cabinet with corn grits? The only thing we ever use it for is cornbread or pancakes, so it should go with the flour?

Yes, this is overcooked. 🙄 They teach me to go get the phone whilst cooking.

Just finished this sewing project. The whole time I've been debating just reloading the bobbin, because it really sucks to run out in the middle of a seam.

Well. I came right up against the zipper, managing to stop before hitting it, and behold: there's less than an inch of bobbin thread left!
