Any Home Bakers Here?

Whenever I make a pie, I use the extra dough to make an apple dumpling if I have an apple. If I don't have an apple, I roll out the extra dough, spread butter on it, sprinkle with Sucralose and cinnamon, roll up and form it into a coil and bake it with the pie.

Either way I have something to eat while I wait for the pie to cool.

We like to make cinnamon twists with the extra dough too.

Good day, everyone.

I am doing a long term science experiment regarding the weather.

This is a storm glass. It forms crystals and patterns inside based on upcoming weather, so they say. I am doing a science experiment to see if it can really predict the weather. I am doing it out of curiosity.

From here on out, I am following @Ladies-Eight example and posting the weather here daily so I can log it for the experiment.

Dec 13, 2023 11:05 AM mountain time
Weather: partly cloudy
Temperature: 30F
Wind: 3 mph
Humidity: 76%
Glass reading: Crystals at bottom and flakes in upper part with small dots, indicating frost, wind, and humid/foggy conditions.

Fascinating! Jared, I also was curious about what is inside the glass, do you know?

I do not know.

"The compositions of the liquid in a storm glass varies but usually contains "camphor, nitrate of potassium and sal-ammoniac, dissolved by alcohol, with water and some air." These devices are now known to have little value in weather prediction but continue to be a curiosity."

In my honest opinion, it’s still worth trying to experiment to see how well it works.

Thanks for getting back on the “ingredient list“

Keep records and let us know your results, Jared. I'm curious too!

I have a storm glass that changes with the weather.

It is really cool to see it change.

Bakers good morning one and all!

The baked goods look wonderful.

Temperature is in the 50s.

Have a great day!

l will be interested in your weather results. @jnicholes

If it is a closed system as it appears in images, it is most likely that the changes inside the glass are due to changes in the barometric pressure.

Barometric pressure is one of the major criteria they use when predicting weather changes.
