Blog 6 3/15/25

 Last blog!!! And the completion of my mission to self teach making perfect sourdough loaves. It took some experimenting, but I tried out making some small ones with inclusions. They were mid at best. But I did a bunch of research and pored over the sourdough reddit. 

Today I baked off my final inclusion loaves after everything I had learned. I used dried or freeze dried fruits instead of fresh to prevent extra liquid from messing up the texture. I did half loaves just in case something went wrong and also so my family wouldn’t be left with so much.

I did one blueberry cheesecake, one cherry apple, one orange cranberry, and one plain for my grandma. I took them out of the fridge this morning and baked them. They turned out PERFECT but the real test was the inside… So I waited an hour until they were finally ready to cut. Thankfully the inside was light, fluffy, and had just the right amount of air pockets to make a nice texture. So yeah, basically in like 5 days I learned to make sourdough bread from starter to finish (ikik so funny don’t pass out from all that laughing). 




Bonus sandwich loaf I made for my parents and sister ^

    My stepmom just started learning this process! I can't wait to try some fresh for myself. We'll have to try putting some fruits into it next time!

    that was really smart baking with dried or frozen fruits. I love to bake and seeing that you tried something new makes me wanna try too.

I learned a terrible secret and now I can't go on

Author’s Note: This is my personal love letter to r/nosleep lol. I tried to insert as many references to the tropes found in so many of these horror stories that strive for believability. The beginning especially was highly inspired by the dramatically read youtube videos I used to watch as a kid. I definitely cut it a bit short bc it was almost 10 pages, so towards the end it might feel a but rushed, but maybe sometime I’ll expand and post it to the subreddit myself.

Labyrinth

Image
The internet is a labyrinth. Dead ends and pathways. Infinite and alluring. It is inescapable. Its walls of knowledge towering overhead and casting their shadow on my face. To it, I am small. An insect with an insatiable hunger to learn and answer all of the questions that fill my mind. It is maddening; trying to make my way to its center; knowing my answer is out there but the journey seeming never ending. Distractions and rabbit holes to fall down at every angle. I must steel myself and resist their appeal, if not, I will become lost. I will forget why I even entered the labyrinth to begin with. I hold my question in my mind and turn back around, desperate to find the center. The answer that will make this journey worth it. I travel further and further in, just to reach wall after wall. Typing into the search bar new ways to phrase or approach my question, which unlock and reveal to me new spiraling corridors of articles, links, videos, images, and more questions. I am determined, th...

Dreams and Fears

Soft breathing played from the phone’s speaker, her own personal white noise. Eyes closed in the pitch dark, she could almost feel the hot air against the back of her neck. A small snort and breathy murmur emitted and she held back a giggle. He was fast asleep. There was something about the vulnerability. The talking and gradual intermittent yawns. The slurring. The eyelids no longer able to part. But neither person willing to say goodnight and end it. Warmth filled her belly, fireflies illuminating a dark cave. The all-encompassing darkness of the room wrapped around her like a tight embrace. When she opened her eyes, all of her familiar surroundings were gone. She was outside. She didn’t remember how she got there, nor did she remember not being there. The air was heavy and she was shrouded by ancient-looking trees. It was eerily quiet, other than the occasional breeze flowing through and tickling the leaves. The sky was colorless. Not dark, but entirely devoid of clouds, stars, or a...
