If you get sick, lick his coffee cup.

I hope not. There are only two people I am really expecting it from. I keep my Facebook pretty trimmed and these I can’t get rid of because they are family. I’m still gonna donate something since a number of other people are just praying.

Yikes. You are doing good though. Just remember that. We should always help other people if we can.

I’m just waiting for a few key people ony Facebook to start spouting racist things. I’ve decided that each time that happens I am going to do a shot and then donate in their name to a charity that is helping refugees from the middle east and such. I am very tired of that. This is such a terrible tragedy that is going…

Cool! That was nice that they were so organized. Seeing everything from the helicopter would have been neat, I bet. I got real tired of people asking me if we set the fire when we got home though.

Oh! I finished the trail just two days before the evacuation!

That’s the old fire road, I do believe. The rest of the trail is generally a bit rougher. It is also hell on your knees. The worst part of the trail.

When I did the trail, I was asleep every night before the sun even went down. I meant to star gaze but... so sleepy.

I did the Skyline this summer! It was one of the best experiences of my life. It’s gorgeous up there. I went in the beginning of July so the meadows were full of flowers. Up to the Notch, once you get past the lake, there really isn’t much of a trail. It’s a scramble up to the top even then. I did it in three days and…

One of my friends had been a server for about twenty years and she has had some pretty good celebrity moments. My favourite is when she worked at a local restaurant a few years back. So one of the other servers picked up a large tray full of food and walked out the kitchen to go to her section and laid eyes on who had…

This is Beelzebub, aka Bubba, aka Bub, aka Chubbles. He is silent and deadly, like a fart.

Holy crap, that’s horrible.

If it was water with a high salt content, there would be a difference but that is easily remedied with the reduction of salt in the dough.

All-purpose flour is just fine for bread makers. If you switched to a bread flour you would notice that it may rise more and have a slightly more toothsome texture. I don’t think buying more expensive flours would have a huge difference. If you made more advanced loaves of an artisan type bread, it could have a…

We make these things at our bakery called cake bombs. We have done a Groupon for them to get some new customers and to drum up some business because of the recession. Most of the people we have gotten have been perfectly nice or completely unmemorable. There have only been a few wretched people.

I’m getting so sick of the fucking racism towards Muslims.

As a baker, this comes as no surprise to me. Yeast type isn’t that important when making bread. It only matters if you are making a sour dough since different wild strains offer different flavours. Yeast is yeast. It is far more important to have the right kind of flour and the right proportions of flour types. I…

There is a shitty, pretentious raw vegan place near where I work and on their sandwich board right now it says, “Frost-kissed, hand massaged kale.” Ugh.

I went on a tour in Jasper National Park a few years ago in the beginning of September and the tour guide was talking about how the weather was especially crazy in the mountains and it could snow very early in the season and he pointed up at one of the mountains and said, “See? That’s fresh snow. It fell last night.”…

Mine was 2001 and it is still the same!
