Saturday, October 18, 2014 – Coach Kael, aka Headmaster Kael of Hillside School (not to be confused with Kale) convinced us all to go to Portland for the OFA fencing tournament. So I did.
I learned a lot not just about fencing, but about proper tournament nutrition, and about the limits of my Tesla’s range. More below the cut.
Friday, October 17, 2014 – I first got the idea about a week ago when I was reading wikipedia articles about sandwiches (probably because I just watched an episode of Cutthroat Kitchen where they were making sandwiches). And I came across the wikipedia article for peanut butter, banana, bacon sandwiches. And I thought to myself, I have to make that. I mean, peanut butter goes well with bananas and peanut butter goes well with bacon. It’s just too perfect! (Really, peanut butter goes well with everything.)
So I did.
Monday, October 13, 2014 – I’ve made a lot of chocolate chip cookies in my lifetime. (Well, mostly in the last 6 years.) But I’ve never made peanut butter cookies before. But then my friend [redacted] asked me to bake peanut butter cookies for her birthday. So I thought, what the heck, why not?
Sunday, September 14, 2014 – When I first started learning how to bake, I learned that you should never melt the butter, that if you’re using butter, the creaming method is king.
Since then, a few of my coworkers and a few of my friends have mentioned melting the butter. One of my friends even mentioned browned butter. (Nope, it’s just brown sugar.) Serious Eats famous cookie article (the one that I’ve been linked to by 4 different people) swears by browned butter. So I decided to finally give it a try.
