Novice Bread! (beehaw.org)

So I was a bit hesitant to share this, since my bread's presentation is pretty rough. However, it's really tasty and my family tends to devour it pretty quickly so it must be good, right?

Anyway, here's my novice bread! It's typical white bread using normal flour, nothing terribly fancy (yet). My plan is to keep baking and improve, though my technique still needs work (I don't know about "punching bread" and I kinda just, scoop it all into a pan).

Also this is my first post, I hope I did everything right - ahhh

Community gardens are fun! I wish I had one here, but it's a bit of a rough neighborhood. What kind of stuff does your community garden grow?

I did some volunteer work at a cat shelter/adoption agency for a few months, it's a great little place that rescues at-risk kitties from other shelters that would've put them down otherwise. Lots of poop cleaning, but there was some cuddling too - and the little guys were grateful, rubbing up against my leg when I gave them a clean box, haha. I would play some soft music when I worked, and deep down I really hope that I got some of them into Japanese Citypop. Always sad to see my regulars disappear some weeks (we had a list of who was adopted when), but it was still a good feeling since they were finally with a family.

Sadly, I had to stop going since my own cat is extremely territorial and started to attack me when I got home. He began waiting for me at the door, and would barely let me inside - and he's a big cat, too. I tried multiple things, but the scent of other cats was ultimately too distressing for him.

I really hope other places like this exist elsewhere, alternatives that allow animals a safe haven and give them a chance they wouldn't have ever had. Anyway, that's my little story. Hope it's okay!
