Mmm, that's not too hard to make. Orange-olive oil cake is so good.
Any homemade card is more thoughtful than a purchased one. So I don't think it matters if you are a good artist or not. It's a thoughtful message and you created it yourself.
Everything that has to be individually worked like that is a drag. Each one rolled out and cooked by itself. And it's never one, right? The only time we do that is for a party so it's at least two dozen.
I love homemade croissants, and make them, mostly because with sourdough starter in there the flavor is incredible but while I am a reasonably neat- handed person, you are understating the difficulty of laminated dough. It wants to tear, the dough and butter have to each be at the perfect magical temperature, can't overwork it, dough is delicate and butter is tough. It's fussy as fuck.
My first one didn't last, but my second try, made with regular all purpose flour from the grocery and tap water, has been going strong for over a decade now. I do ferment other stuff too. Wondering if he could seed it with starter from someone local, I've shared mine before and it helped people.
I just made that this week and think I may agree with you, or at least I'd not try on a workday again. I didn't have the right peppers and used dried ancho, jarred roasted red pepper and a little fresh red pepper and it came out really good, sorta new world /old world delicious fusion but my God, toasting, grinding, processing, tasting, resting the paste. Started in the morning and let it rest while I was at work. Also started sourdough naan in the morning & of course made a vegetable dish to go with the meat - everything was good but I was exhausted by the end of the day!
Well if money is no object then a world tour that lasts the rest of my life, thanks (or if I can use this magic purse on behalf of others instead, stay home and buy up all the world's debt, sponsor a jubilee year.)
Performing Arts. Dancers can be great without becoming choreographers, singers & other musicians can be great without becoming songwriters. Interpretation of existing works can be very creative, and technical proficiency and stage presence are also impressive skills.
Like a medieval peasant, I'm living now less than a mile from where I was born. The US is too big to feel culturally attached to it, but my city, yeah, I am very "from here". Like when I was a kid we'd wander around the ghost town of a weekend downtown, and as I grew up the city became populated and revitalized, it grew up with me.
In another country I usually say Florida, and if it's a Spanish speaking country then people start speaking to me in Spanish.

Be glad I'm the good one, I guess? Or can we achieve balance and each end up with 50% good, 50% bad?
