Some apple pies I made for a small thanksgiving last week. I couldn't find my pie baking pan after I'd already chilled the crust, so I turned them into personal pies.

Crust recipe was Alton Brown's, and filling was half spiced apple butter I made and half sugar-(semi-)dessicated apples.

Can you predict when Lou Bega's greatest hit, Mambo No. 5, was released based on the names of all the women mentioned in the song?

Weirdly yes.

I have a mildly expensive idea for April Fool's next year.

I made some Hong Shao Rou (red braided pork belly) last week. Probably one of the easiest foods to overindulge in, but thankfully I was able to share it with some friends.

I made some pre-marathon vegan apple cider donuts this past weekend after testing a (much messier) version out with @rprc.bsky.social a couple days prior.

I made some pretzels and the bottoms didn't stick to the pan this time! 🥨

I made a little mistake when baking and decided to do an AB test and turn it into a bit of an educational experience.

Any feedback (including title and thumbnail) is appreciated.

I made a video on a topic that seems to misunderstood by a lot of students taking introductory stats classes.

This is my first video, so it was a lot of experimenting and a lot of learning.

Any feedback/suggestions are appreciated.

Saffron and cranberry buttercreams on cardamom-clove-cinnamon cupcakes. Flavors came together very nicely with Spring colors.
