Newer trek shows need more daily life & hobbies. I don’t even know who cooks or bakes other than pike. That’s some sloppy character development.

How to spend a Friday when the fan fiction muse is on strike: Knit a second sock while watching Great British Baking Show.

GBBO Bread Week

So are "buns" and "rolls" interchangeable words in British English? Because it was a bun challenge, but most everyone made what I would call "rolls", and Prue and Paul seemed fine with that (and then called things "rolls" and "buns" that seemed random to me).

Just imagine if GBBO and the Cornley theater collaborated with the British Bake Off goes wrong

Good(?) GBBO vibes below:

“Good for the hips, lard” — Nicky, icon

Saku is precious and must be protected at all costs. No particular quote or reason, just vibes

“I’ve got to get my pies in the oven, Toot sweet” — Nicky, francophone icon

“I can’t wait for [Paul’s] beady eyes to look at this” — Rowan, icon; human version of my internal monologue

Yay it was so nice to see Cristy and her excitement over receiving a handshake!! I really love watching people overcome their nerves and insecurities in the moment and succeed!

Noel “want me to burn the tent down so Paul doesn’t see?” Fielding brings the chaotic vibes I need in my life

Wow yet ANOTHER technical challenge where the majority of bakers have timing issues…hmmm….

“You had me at marzipan.” “I didn’t say marzipan.” Relatable, iconic

Nooooooo not the grandma pie being made on an important anniversary 😭😭😭 and then all the pies tasted amazing 😭😭😭

“You can’t stay in after a bag of pants” is way too British for my brain to process

Great British baking show and cheap wine, pls save me 🍷🫠

Petition for Gordon Ramsay to replace Paul Hollywood on GBBO. And before anyone says Ramsay is way meaner, he is only mean to people who deserve it. I fully believe Ramsay would be way nicer and give better constructive criticism and be less condescending than Paul Hollywood.

Botanical week should’ve been Abbi’s week

The best thing about bread week is watching a room full of people soothe their panic about what’s happening inside their proving drawers by stress-drinking tea

god bless the roku channel for letting me watch my comfort season (2015-2016) of gbbo that netflix took away from me

[wowbright]

We're watching the second season of the Roku version of the Great American Baking Show, which was filmed in the UK. (Haven't seen season 1 yet, so don't spoil us, and in fact don't spoil us for this one either as we only just started the semifinal.)

Spouse commented on the contestants' consistently poor performance on bread relative to British contestants. But I have to wonder if it has anything to do with bread flour in the US being much higher in protein/gluten, and the bakers don't have much experience working with lower protein flours that you get in Europe.

What think ye, bakers of Tumblr?

The technical on dessert week?!

Paul meet me @ the local parking lot I need to punch your ugly face
