Fluffy White Bread, Maple Doughnuts and Vegan Cheesecake
Fluffy White Bread I was tasked with making my loafs of bread more like Wonderbread. In other words: sweeter and more fluffy. After some experimenting, I found success with one recipe. I then tried again with a veganized version, and it worked just as well. So I present to you both editions. Regular Version: 3…

Finished Classes for my First Year (NSFW)
I made it. It was pretty tumultuous. I ended up dropping my two math classes this semester, and I’ll try to do at least one of them over the summer. I don’t know what will happen to me next year, whether I’ll continue or not. But dropping everything to go back this year is something…

Halfway Through Second Semester
Reading Week is about to start. This semester has been a bit of a mixed bag. I ended up dropping my calculus class, putting me at four classes this semester. I did this because I calculated my ass-in-seat-time™ to be at around 45 hours. That was the time I spent at school in lectures and…

Croissants & Holidays
Making croissants has been on my to-do list for months. Months. But working six days a week and spending the seventh on chores/homework, I just didn’t have the day that’s required to make these. These holidays have been so great to me. With a bit of a break from both work and school, I was…
