I forgot to put in yeast when I was baking bread last week. I considered baking it anyway once I realized why there was no rise but decided against baking would be a doorstop.

I have lost my brownie mojo. I cannot make a decent pan of brownies anymore.

I've switched up ingredients, recipes, pans, nothing works, it all tastes like blah brownie-colored cardboard.

I love cooking. I've read a million books, taken numerous classes, am constantly cooking but I destroy bacon every time I make it. I can not cook bacon. I've tried it in the oven, skillet etc. It is always over or under done.

The flame needs to be lower than you think. I have an electric stove, and anything over 2 (low) will burn the bacon. You have to baby it. And keep flipping.

This is why I hate cooking it. It takes forever and you have to stand there worrying over it. How do you know when it's cooked enough?

I also love artichokes but they are a bear for me. I can never get rid of all the choke and can't tell when they're done. They are one of my favorite foods that I never have because I can't make them.
