when i was a teen, my grandad got me a bread machine and my loaves never turned out any kind of beautiful [pale, hard, dense] today my partner and i pulled it back out and we ran into the same problems [pale. hard. dense. chewy??]

it tastes fine, but i really have no idea where i'm messing up. i follow the machine's booklet and i really don't think i have ever had a truly successful loaf 💔

please help sobbbssss i just want to make my partner bread that tastes and looks good! save us breaddit 🙏🙏🙏

i had mentioned to her offhandedly that it'd come out and how i thought it was sooooooooo cute and how much i want it, but bills are bills and i couldn't justify getting it [especially after having bought another plushie recently] and without saying anything to anyone about it, she bought me one :']]

so meet beatrice [and seeley, lol (my sheep based off of my favorite oc)] she is so so soooooo cute and i'm so lucky to have such a sweet roommate

just ordered the bundle i'm so excited for them to come home ehehehhehe

reached out to my piercer and she recommended warm saline compresses so i've been doing that and trying my best to keep the area as clean as possible. i've had the piercing for a little over a month now and saline [and occasionally aquaphor] has been the only thing i've used on my lips since getting in. it was fine up until a few days ago when it got all angry at me :[[

any tips?
