Hello friend it’s sandwiches alright 🥪
Also baking bread / cakes, learning to make guitar effects pedals, shrine to The Incredible Hulk like a normal person, houseplants, and data 📊
He / Him
For the avoidance of doubt when I saw “there is a crisp aftertaste” I mean there is an aftertaste of crisps I didn’t accidentally make Riesling bread.
The bread tastes… ok? The crisp fragments are crunchy in the crust. It is very soft. There is a crisp aftertaste.

I think I have learned enough to execute this better next time.

Thank you for following bread made out of crisps 🍞 🥔

Buckle up friend it’s time for bread made out of crisps 🍞 🥔

Full disclosure it was not a flawless first attempt.

The aim was to make a loaf of bread where the majority ingredient is crisps.

1. Buy 450g of crisps, without shame

Our tree died 😭 The council team came and took it away. Then I got an email explaining and saying it will be replaced, which I think is great
Tree came today! 🌳

Autumn colours look pretty awesome from a quick search of the species. And apparently when it drops leaves it smells slightly of caramel?! Lucked out here I feel

Just to say I haven’t forgotten about the bread made out of crisps.

I have a solid plan for a first iteration but I have to buy a frankly embarrassing amount of crisps and need to work up the courage.

I’m on the lookout for a new contract (preferably inside).

I’ve got over a decade of experience working in the public sector, mostly in agile delivery management. Two weeks notice.

Not got DMs here but Signal is zuz.1337, or LinkedIn is good.

Thx :)

TFW the oven at the Airbnb gets up to the temperature it says it’s at and you know this because you always travel with an oven thermometer like a normal person
