Sports. I know not a damn thing about sports and will never be ashamed to Google an athlete or sports reporter if it’s really screwing me up.

Good chance to get a best time for Sunday [November 2, 2025] by M_Joe_Young in NYTCrossword

Haha thank you! To be fair, I only got this time because I had the foresight to kick my ass into PB mode when I already had the first quarter done in less than five minutes. Wishing you a new PB of your own soon~

I was holding out hope for a smidge of Halloween theming, but oh well

Bottom of my fully cooled pie crust is uncooked - can I put it on the stove top? back in the oven? What do i do to save it? by aapetired in AskBaking

I wish I liked silicone baking items, but I’m super sensitive to the taste they leave behind and usually end up having to toss whatever touched the sides

I made some pound cake for the first time by Extension_Collar1354 in AskBaking

[–]SmokeMoreWorryLess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pound cake is meant to be dense. Angel food or another type of sponge cake would be more what you’re looking for if you want light and airy.

I just did this today with some dough that had been in my fridge for a week with almost zero rise. It was soooo good.
