According to the company’s website, “Baking Pitchfest 2024” offers a product edition geared toward baking brands founded and owned by people of color across the U.S., and a bakery edition, which focuses on people of color-owned bakeries in the Northeast and Washington state. “Half mentorship, half competition, Baking Pitchfest is an accelerator program designed to foster greater inclusivity and creativity in the baking world by providing equitable opportunities for People of Color entrepreneurs,” the website states, adding that winners will receive financial support, mentorship, and exposure. But the initiative has generated outrage amongst conservatives online, who have blasted the competition eligibility rules as discriminatory against white people.

One X user critical of King Arthur Baking’s contest posted an email she received from the company in response to her complaining. “Helping build joyful, equitable communities that celebrate diversity is an important part of who we are as a company,” the email states, later adding: “We love baking with anyone and everyone. Our simple expectation is that everyone show respect for one another.”

"I don't need a shopping list; with effort, I will remember that I need this item"

Okay but will you be able to remember that you already bought it? Because apparently I can't.

So I started working again today, and me and my coworker had to squeeze lemons which usually is a really un fun job but TODAY. We had the mostly lovely batch of lemons to work with. So we rated how smoothly they cut and how nice the insides of them looked for about an hour. An absolutely marvelous time I gotta say

"Marcille and Chilchuck are the Only Sane Men in a group of weirdos." WRONG. Marcille is - and has always been - a fucking freak. Chilchuck and Namari were the Only Sane Men in the original group and now it's just poor little Chilchuck being dragged through the dungeon trying to hold on to the last slivers of his sanity and keep the others alive as they continue to barely survive encounter after encounter through the sheer power of Autism and exponentially increasing Loony Toons Logic.

SAVE HIM!!

Re-watching Restaurant To Another World again, and I was thinking how usually, the isekai genre mixed with the harem genre lately, reminds me of a criticism of the "born sexy yesterday" trope: The guy is absolutely mundane but because the girl is completely foreign to his world, everything he does seems amazing. Restaurant To Another World functions on a similar premise, in that all the patrons are so amazed at the food from a very typical restaurant from our world. But instead of being an offensive power imbalance, like the "born sexy yesterday" trope, it becomes more an appreciation of the everyday things in our world. "Mundane miracles" is one of my favorite tropes. I love the focus on how everyday is actually full of amazing things. And I think Restaurant To Another World really emphasizes that point. In our everyday modern world, it's not often we think about how high quality all our ingredients and tableware are, but someone from a "sword and sorcery" fantasy world is definitely going to be raving about it. It makes everyday and everything feel special, if you just take the time to appreciate at it.

For example, I love how the episode with the Dwarves ordering seafood platters, took the time to marvel at even the quality of the glass mugs their beer was served in. I didn't think about it until the glass craftsman Dwarf said, but making clear, uniformly symmetrical glass is actually very difficult. But we have that everyday and for cheap in our world. I love that episode where Sarah's sister gave a whole gold coin to Alletta to buy cookies for her, because our simple tins for cookies, that we re-use for sewing supplies, is actually a very high end luxury, when you think about it. I love how the man from a wheat products trading company and his grandson, comment about the restaurant's quality ingredients. I love how the baker's daughter and other patrons are gobsmacked by the quality of bread, and how even that level of bread is free refills---with soup!

Then again, I'm the type of homebody introvert who sees going outside for errands as a big adventure. And that was BEFORE this pandemic! lol

note to self: do NOT double the chocolate chip cookie recipe. the mixer can’t handle it. I can’t handle it. my knees hurt. I’ve been rotating cookie sheets since I was born and I will be rotating cookie sheets until I die
