Ok we're having some confusion so let's get this ironed out:

Bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel is the NYC order.

Obviously if you are wanting have this the CORRECT way, the TRADITIONAL WAY, you are ordering *TAYLOR HAM*, egg, and, cheese on a KAISER ROLL and you are IN NEW JERSEY.

Emily Hahn, MD @ehahnmd.bsky.social · 3h

Kaiser roll is also the traditional vehicle. A bagel is a modification.

I mean I'm a little basic myself, tracks. But I will also die on the insignificant hill that you cannot get a good bagel outside the greater NYC area and everything where I live now is basically a torus bread roll.

(I'm from passaic county, I live north of seattle now)

Please enjoy my doggos being tortured by SOAP and WATER and then looking very shiny and spiffy with the results.

a black pit bull going silver in the face looks at the camera. she is standing on a metal grooming table and has a white bandana with print on it. she looks very much like she is thinking "take the picture and get me out of here, lady"

#uspoli important context. We’re all learning so much about our country at least. Heh.

This is Hegseth trying to make it sound like a bigger deal than it is. We have friendly foreign air forces in the US for training exercises and the like all the time, especially ones that use US equipment. That's what this is. It's not like an operational deployment or giving them a whole airbase.

my genuine theory is that dems know once they admit to a little of the fascism they have to admit to all of it and they are trying to avoid that at all costs

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

I've never worked with that before, is it very different from AP or pastry flour?

I *want* to make baguettes it's just I haven't yet figured out how to get the steam effect on a baguette in my oven bc I don't have anything long enough to cover a baguette and don't trust myself with boiling water on the floor. thoughts, #breadsky?

(I need 3 days for croissants sigh)

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 1d

there are breads that i enjoy making myself — any quickbread, sourdough boules and batards, flatbreads, biscuits etc. — but you’ll never catch me making a baguette or croissant at home. i live a short bike ride from three boulangeries!

GHOULLIKEHELLMACHINE @golikehellmachine.com · 1d

a big thing i learned about myself during covid is that i just want to buy a goddamned baguette from the store or the bakery, i literally never want to make the damned thing myself

whereas i went the opposite route and became the bakery during covid and am extremely happy about it lolol

it's crazy how fast movies become dated. for instance, the 2021 movie "Don't Look Up" no longer makes sense, because if an American scientist discovered a planet-killing comet heading towards us today, their main response would be "oh thank fuck for that"

for the record these were absolutely not overbaked except for maybe the very edges. The semolina makes them a little more tender maybe?

Next time I think I might try lemon and rosemary.

bex @blueraccoon.bsky.social · 4d

classic shortbread from @smittenkitchen.bsky.social, I swapped in semolina like she suggests and used 1t vanilla paste for flavoring. I'm hoping they're more golden on top from the semolina but maybe I overbaked them, I will find out in a bit. 🍜🍽️

a square metal cake pan lined with parchment holds shortbread cut into 24 pieces, each piece has a few holes docked in it

lol my answer to those quizzes is always "I would have died in infancy" because I was a failure to thrive preemie and without the modern NICU I would not be alive right now

John Bull @garius.bsky.social · 2d

When you could code silly quizzes on Facebook, it was FULL of "what would you be in medieval times?!" etc.

I made one that nearly always answered "died as a child", "died in childbirth", "lived and died as a servant"

People got SUPER mad with it.

Everyone assumes they'll be at the top of the tree

The subtext of ‘we should be more like Dubai’, beyond the obvious racism, is ‘I should have a servant’.
