Laughing my ass of that the example of disruptive behavior my bus uses looked a whole lot like a furry musician.
A sign posted above a windows on a bus that warns "disruptive behavior will not be tolerated" the sign has a picture of a husky dog wearing a leather jacket playing a guitar who gives off fury vibes. The sign has purple blue and green coloring that feel a little like late 80's early 90's vibes.

So everyone has a toxic trait or two that you own and are like I should be better than this. One of mine is absolutely wearing too much perfume, because when I find a scent I like, I want to drown in it. I don't know who came up with this marketing idea of scent spaces, but Jesus I feel really seen.
A picture of the front of the commodity milk+ perfume box. The box is a matt black with an orange gold coloring. Under the perfume title is the text "Scent Space: Bold , for me and everyone else" Back of the commodity milk+ perfume box. The box is matt blCk with white lettering. The text on the back of the box describes their co depth of scent spaces and reads " scent space we have created scent space so that you can choose your ideal projection among our fragrances: a closely projecting personal, a noticeably unique expression e, and a room filling bold version"

Home made english muffins this morning turned out great (although I maybe went a little too dark on a few of them)! They made a great egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. I forgot how tender and moist English muffins can be when they are home made.

Adapting king arthurs kardemummabullar recipe to have a blueberry rather than cinnamon filling. You can definitely tell which rolls where shaped first and which where shaped last. Turns out there is an art to twisting with out blueberry filling going everywhere. Now we wait for them to proof.
Three shaped kardemumbullar rolls that are fairly neat Three shaped kardemummbullar rolls two of which are messy with filling leaving the buns.

Let the adventures in sourdough begin! Sourdough culture day 1
A picture of flour and water mixed together in a clear glass crock on a counter with a fruit bowl and stand mixer behind it. The glass croxk has measurement markings in red. The dough has the consistency of a thick paste, with some dimples on the surface that might eventually be bubbles containing proof of life for the yeast cultures.

Experiments in bread making turning out pretty freaking great
Top down view of a home made loaf of white sandwich bread cooling on the counter on a wire rack.

The side is a slightly lighter golden brown than the top. it is cooling on a wire rack A picture of a ham and cheese sandwich made on a plastic cutting board. The bread had the iconic loaf shape of a square for the bottom half and a rounded slightly poofed out top half where the dough rose slightly over the loaf pan

So it turns out I really like a longer fermentation in my coughs. Reall interested in seeing how these brioche sweetheart rolls I started yesterday turn out! By the end of rolling them out i got almost kinda good at shaping them
One of the final sweetheart rolls that was shaped. The leaflets weren't cut to deep and the filling is evenly dispersed One of the first sweetheart rolls made. The roll was made too thin, and the cuts weren't deep enough so the dough did t turn right
