My wife says every family has this drawer. I do not believe every family has this drawer. Do you have this drawer? Do you know a good solution to this drawer?

We have a silverware drawer, organized, maxed out. A sharps drawer, organized, maxed out. Ziplocs, organized, maxed out. Bbq tools and oven mitts, organized, maxed out. But all this shit has no particular category so fuck me right. I gotta have an awkward necessary crap drawer. Maybe I should post all my drawers and crowdsource me some sense into my kitchen.

You're the worst kind of human. Flour should be haphazardly measured using volume and feelings and a "good enough" mentality.

I like having the right ratio of flour to salt, so my bread doesnt have that awful paste-y flour taste.

Clearly you've never had to bake for a gluten intolerant spouse with several other dietary restrictions

Call me Heisenberg, cause at this point I'm a goddamned chemist

It really is fundamentally different. With wheat flour you add water and develop gluten by hand until it feels good enough. Then you let the yeast work until it's big enough. It doesn't really matter what you put into regular bread because there's just so many ways to fix it along the way.

Every once in a while I'll just make something for me, and it's so easy. GF baking is a pain, but i love my wife, so there it is

yes. whether i asked my mom for one of her recipes she would readily tell me the ingredients... but whenever i asked how much of the thing to put she would get really confused. like, about 🤏 this much...
