I made the King Arthur’s Japanese Milk Bread recipe today. I have previously made a small 9” Pullman loaf. Today I multiplied the recipe by 1.5x (per King Arthur) for a 13” loaf. It didn’t rise as well as I would have liked. It didn’t even reach level with the top of my pan. Any advice?
Can anyone please share their fluffiest sandwich bread recipe? I’m new to bread making but have found several white bread recipes that taste great, but are just too dense. Does anyone have a recipe that mimics the bread found in the grocery store?
So I just got a cuisinart CBK-110 bread maker. I made my first trial loaf using the basic white bread recipe included in the manual. It tasted good but seems very dense. Also, the crust was extremely crunchy, which I don’t prefer for basic sandwich slices. Any tips or tricks?
*this was just a half loaf trial.
So we have been together for 11 years. He (44M) works a high demand position with a major manufacturing company and averages 50-55 hour work weeks. I (40F) am an RN and work straight weekend nights. This makes me essentially a SAHM. We have 2 kids- 9.5 female ADHD and almost 5 year boy autistic. Because I am home during the week, I do all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, lawn care, pet care, all appointments/activities/therapies for the kids, etc. I pull a 24 hour shift every Friday and Monday because I am unable to nap during the day with kids home (this isn’t as big of an issue during the school year).
I am burnt out. I am exhausted. I am getting resentful because this has been our life for 4.5 years (since our youngest was 6 months old).
When I ask him to just do what he sees needs to be done, he gets pissy and accusing me of “just wanting [him] to do chores.” I already do everything I can to make his life easier and it’s not reciprocated. I have asked what he does to make my life easier and his response is to throw finances in my face (since he makes double what I make) and he said he’s a dad. But I only get about 5-6 hours of sleep during the day on Saturdays and Sundays and when I get up he takes off to the gym or whatever else and I’m back on duty before leaving for my night shift again.
So I ask, how does your spouses make your life easier?
Edit: We are already working with our BCBA, OT, pelvic floor, and GI for bowel health. Our son drinks 30+ oz daily and is super active. He takes exlax, MiraLAX, pre- and probiotics daily. We have a reward system in place. Son knows he gets to go to target and pick out a new monster truck when he poops on the potty. He vocalizes this to ANYONE that will listen. He isn’t scared of the bathroom or potty. He pees with zero issue at home and in public restrooms.
—————
Our son will be 5 at the end of July. Peeing on the potty really started clicking about 3 months ago. He is a rockstar and hasn’t had an accident in about a month. He doesn’t even have to be asked to take a potty break anymore.
That said, pooping is still a STRUGGLE. He will withhold for several days at a time despite taking laxatives and softeners (per GI). Tonight our son was complaining of a tummy ache so I had him sit on the potty. He has successfully pooped on the potty a handful of times but has just as many accidents in his underwear. Son was upset about sitting on the potty and hubby went into the bathroom and started aggressively telling him he needed to poop on the potty and if he pooped his pants we were going to start throwing away his monster trucks (his most prized possessions). He also told him pooping his pants is embarrassing and he will be the only kid at school still pooping his pants. Our son kept getting more upset. I told hubby he needs to quit berating him but I have no idea how to approach this with him. I’m pissed.
HOW would you address this with your spouse?

You. Guys. My (39F) hubby (43M) is so petty. We got into a stupid “argument” this evening while I was cooking dinner. So one of our dogs is a puker. There is zero rhyme or reason to it and it is completely unpredictable. Well tonight he puked 2 massive piles of undigested dog food by the kitchen table. I cleaned up most of it, put the dogs out, and asked hubby to help me move the table so I could throw the rug in the washing machine (it’s one of those washable rugs). While I was stuffing it in the washer, hubby walked by taking the trash full of dog puke out to the garage. I said there was still some pile on the wood floor that I didn’t get cleaned up yet. He didn’t acknowledge hearing me so I repeated myself louder. He proceeded to yell at me that he doesn’t “need to hear it from me.” To which I asked “hear what?” His response was to tell me to quit hounding him. He has proceeded to give me the invisibility treatment since then. It’s been about 2 hours now and he is acting as if I don’t exist. Won’t respond when I speak or even look in my direction. What the actual fuck. Why? Why are men like this? Every time we argue, no matter how big or small, this is how he acts. It’s infuriating and demoralizing.
