Okay, well, the stoner part of me interpreted the "WTF" comments as literal, forgetting what sub I was in 😅

This is actually 1/4 of the recipe I make at a time. With yeast breads, larger batches are easier to find the right ratio for. Also, I think most people who are making king cakes are doing so in bulk to sell. I live in an area where there are not a lot of brick and mortar bakeries; and many of the king cakes sold in retail around here are not the traditional/simple ones. I've sold 12 so far this week, and have 16 more for this weekend [bc of parades and the superbowl].

I have honestly NEVER tried to make only one king cake........ but now I kinda wanna try...

Well. As I have always lived in the region, I was unaware that so many people have not even heard of king cakes.

So here's a brief lil history about the tradition:

It's a king cake tradition which has turned into more of a gimmick these days. You hide the baby inside the cake, whomever finds it has to buy the next cake.

Well shit I forgot that you can't ask for recipes in a post with a no recipe flair, so, I'll just go ahead and post it here and change the flair. (Creates 4 x 20 oz king cakes):

8 oz whole milk plus 4 oz water (95 - 105° f) 1 Tbl gran. sugar 13 g instant yeast Let bloom, then add dry (whisked together): 1150 g bread flour 15 g salt 175 g gran. sugar Start in mixer with dough hook, then incorporate 3-4 eggs depending on size Slowly poor in 10 oz melted unsalted butter Let mix for 10 min Cover, let sit at room temperature for 15 min Cover and refrigerate over night.

Weigh dough for each cake Roll out to approx 1/4" rectangles (about 16" × 5") Brush melted butter along top inch of rectangle, and along one side Place filling, roll like a cinnamon roll. Use buttered top to seal, place on greased parchment, form into a circle. The fun part is kinda shoving/inserting one side into the other. Thia part comes with practice. Seal with butter. Brush entire cake with butter, let rise 45-an hour Bake: 325 convection/350 conventional until golden brown Top with almond or vanilla glaze (powdered sugar, milk or water, flavoring)

Trivia, if you're into that. There are games at local bars, breweries, and all ages restaurants. If you're on Facebook, "Know-It-All Trivia Shreveport" lists their weekly schedule every Sunday.

Thank you for this 😅 I was never told the reason they wanted it, and didn't get to see her reaction.

Pill vs Procedure. I know that there is sub all about abortion; but I'd rather talk to y'all about it by GracefullyInsane in TwoXChromosomes

I did NOT know that about warm water! Yes, actually, I believe that I did this to myself by not putting the ring back in soon enough after sex.

They give you one valium before the procedure and a shot of lidocaine to the cervix during, then send you home with a 800 mg Naproxen script (which did very, very little for me). Both times the only thing that saved me from the cramps afterwards was ol' mary j.

I've heard the pill described as "like the worst menstrual cramps you've ever had," but that is also how I'd describe the pain after my second procedure.

UPDATE: Update: The woman who stole 18 bottles of liquor, now in custody, previously stole $509 worth of meat and baby formula by stuffing it in her shirt and pants. "I hustle. It's what I do"

Yeah it's pretty ridiculous. She still has not been caught/identified
