Super neat! That explanation makes sense. I don’t know how the one packet got unsealed (it didn’t look unsealed) but it must have been.
The coffee shards were all shiny and they clinked when you tapped them together or against things. It was cool. Never seen anything like it.
How Baking Works by Paula Figoni. Fantastic and thorough run-down of practical baking science.
Alas! Yeah I saw a fair bit of that go by but mostly ignored it; my area is fairly diverse politically so there were people yelling into the void and also people who weren’t. I definitely wouldn’t recommend it for just like, hanging out and chatting with people, but they’ve been pretty good at least where I am about recommendations. Maybe that does vary by how crappy your neighbors are, though.
I miss bakingfails and the nail polish community :/
Yeah, that’s been my experience - that the people who are the least empathetic are the people who are having the same problem and trying the “tough love” approach on themselves to attempt to overcome it. They’ve shut off their compassion sensors because they can’t afford to apply any to themselves, so it’s not there for others either.
