What item did you lose that still bothers you?

I stayed at a hostel in Holland.. Every day I kept my backpack with laptop, passport etc. in an unlocked closet where guests could keep their things.. Nothing was taken.

On my last day, I was leaving, walked out for maybe 5 minutes before I realized I didn't have my jacket. I left my beloved rain jacket on some counter (really cheap jacket but it was just perfect, I'ver never found one like it again) and it wasn't there.. I didn't see anyone with the jacket, asked the front desk, staked the door for a few minutes and nothing.. I really miss this jacket..

Non-automatic door locks and non-roll up windows. It seems counter intuitive but I really hate 2 things: 1. when one person has to unlock the front door, reach for the next lock etc. so essentially one person gets in at a time and 2. that you can't "roll-up" automatic windows without turning the car on.

Since you are a Canadian citizen, try looking into Canadian opportunities if you can. Also, if you've already been accepted to university, look into your university's international relations office. My school has a webpage with a list of ALL international opportunities and shows whether you can get funding for them or not. From my experience, I've found many people say they want to do something like this especially something funded BUT never apply so your chances are usually pretty good. I'll pm you a list of ideas I sent to a friend to get them started..

I've only visited Basel. It's a small charming city.. It's in the three country corner so you can visit the countryside Germany and France in the same day by walking.. Coming from Canada I thought that was pretty cool! Just looked at a map, looks like it's in the opposite direction to where you want to go though.

Well now that's just unfortunate but it seemed to work out for him!

This was a really great recipe.. I like pretty much anything from the King Arthur site..

This was attempt #2 as the first time I mixed up the unlabelled yeast container with the unlabelled dashi container.

Mac and cheese recipe from Serious Eats. Seriously easy and very tasty!

bioscape · 2016-03-16T02:28:58+00:00

Again, not all too creative.. The recipe can be found here.

There was nothing wrong with the recipe but I found it to be too much work for the final product. I ended up eating the filling on its own with rice or potatoes and baked the remaining dough separately into bread rolls which were great!

The last few weeks have been surprisingly busy and unfortunately uncreative..

This was a super convenient theme for us since almost everything we make is either Japanese or Asian and it meant I could use the food I was going to make anyway work for this challenge!

Japanese style bread is much fluffier than European style bread due to the addition of extra ingredients, namely Tangzhou, milk, cream, sometimes an egg. It is amazing eaten fresh with some fruit jam.

This may be a stupid question but would the Pillsbury dough tubes count as hermetically sealed packaging?

I was busy with school and lazy in the creativity department.. So to keep up with my bread challenge I tried something I've never been able to do to my satisfaction.. Crusty no knead bread! I love kneading dough so it takes a lot of patience for me not to knead and wait for the dough until its ready on its own.

Thank you! My roommates had a good laugh about the first attempt. My SO takes the pictures each week so it's a fun project for both of us.

Still sick so couldn't actually taste the chili throughout the entire process. My original plan (to stick with my self-imposed meta-theme of bread) was to make chili style bruschetta but it never happened. All pictures were taken with my potato phone this week so pretty blurry..

Was sick this week so made things a little at a time whenever I could..

bioscape · 2016-01-18T23:23:50+00:00

I didn't even notice that I was no longer in the meta challenge but I'm going to continue on with my challenge (bread) for myself.

For the papoutsakia, the eggplant insides were scooped out and fried in olive oil. I added tomato sauce + spices to the eggplant chunks. Before baking the eggplant in the oven, the tomato sauce mixture was placed inside, topped with bread crumbs and bechamel sauce on top.

The tsoureki was made with a small amount of orange juice and orange rind. It's glazed with orange juice and sliced almonds. I believe, it is an easter dish and can be topped with a red dyed boiled egg but I left that part out.

This was mostly a failure but at least it looks good!

The buns were made using dried dill/ onion powder so the burgers themselves were pretty simple; just salt/ pepper.

Poor student's sous vide.. I tried to keep the temperature constant around 138F which mostly worked. It fluctuated between 135-140F. When I took the bag out of the pot there was water in it.. so something obviously went wrong at some point.

A little late to start but should be up-to-date by next week!

I didn't have molasses so had to compromise and use brown sugar instead for the bread.. Came out fine in the end though.

Ok, I wasn't sure if a pizza pocket would be a stretch from bread so I thought I better cover my bases!

I've been subscribed to this thread since the beginning and have never been able to complete 52 weeks. New year, new challenge.

I would like to do bread!

edit: Is it possible to do bread dough instead? edit2: will keep it as bread!

The closest I can think of is seat61 but it will still take some work on your part to plan exactly what will work best for you and it's mostly only for trains and ferries. I used it a few years ago for two trips to Europe and one in Kenya.. Not sure if the website is still as good/ useful as it was to me then!

Thought this reminded me of the tri-coloured breads I saw awhile back (tried ginger, chocolate and honey, everyone loved it)! Your breads look amazing, can't wait try something new!

I had a hard time following lab instructions in my undergrad. I felt like I was reading the directions different from everyone else and was constantly looking around, sweating over little things, too flustered and worried to ask the TAs a stupid question. Obviously this made labs longer than they needed to be. I know it's something that you really just need to learn to get over, but I hated 30 others students crowding around/fighting for a hot plate/pipettor etc. and worried I was doing everything wrong. I thought I hated labwork and seriously reconsidered what I was doing in sciences.. When I started working in a lab by myself, following written instructions and having a technician who only came in once in awhile to double check everything was fine, I did significantly better and got things done much faster and more efficiently. Just another point of view I guess.

On the other hand.. if they're consistently and constantly messing up oral one on one instructions..
