Any Home Bakers Here?

Exceptionally true.


The big problem with Apple products is they are STUPID expensive. And every time they come out with a new model it is missing a hardware feature (buy the peripheral they say) and cost more than the last one. MacBooks used to have CD drives, ethernet ports, SD card slots. The newest version has none of those. But I restart my Macbook maybe once every 2 or 3 months, usually when I load the newest (free) version of the Operating System. Windows machines generally hang long before that.

I have 9 virtual desktops, leave everything running so like a real desk, they are all messy when I get up in the morning I currently have 26 Chrome windows open, most with a number of tabs. There are 12 tabs on my BYH and BYC window. No way I could do that if I had to reboot every few days.

Bruce....why 9. You must have a LARGE FAMILY.
ONE is enough for me. ha ha Now I know a lot
more about computers. Thanks Guys. I always
LEARN from this group. Aria

No, all of the virtual desktops are mine!!! 3 in the house, everyone has their own computer.

Desktop:

1. Weather and solar - Chrome
2. VPR and mail - Chrome
3. BYH and BYC - Chrome
4. Quicken
5. Numbers (Mac version of Excel spreadsheet
6. Turbotax. Yeah that time of year again
7. YouTube subscriptions (and temporarily the OLD "Password" shows from the 60's) - Chrome

The rest are "open" for "temporary" stuff.

At the moment I have 19 Chrome windows (with many tabs), not all are on a desktop but can be pulled up easily. Those not listed above are things I want to look at when I have time. One is the Governor's weekly press conference (read Covid status mostly).

I have Chrome and use it for All I do. It works for me. Except my e-mail. Does all I want to do.

My mail is via Chrome as well. I don't use the built in mail program.

What is the worst "fail" you had in baking?
I was doubling a muffin recipe.. well I doubled the flour and nothing else, lol.

I was making corn bread .... I thought! As I was measuring in the corn meal, I thought, That's funny, something sure smells like garlic around here.... Turned out I had purchased garlic powder in bulk and had not labelled it! I didn't realize my error till I'd added the eggs and some of the milk. I went out and used a stick to smear the batter on the trunks of my fruit trees, where it dried and hardened into a thick crust (this was in New Mexico). I had no aphids or ants on those trees that year!

I was making Tomato Soup Cake. Instead of ground cloves I added ground black pepper. I immediately realized what happened and tried to scoop it back out. After the cake finished baking the first taste proved I was unsuccessful at getting all of the pepper out.

I made 2 pies tonight, Blackberry/blueberry, and pumpkin.
