Bread & Butter, Faster

I've been saying that I'm going to bake a loaf of bread for the past 4 consecutive weekends. I've got all of the ingredients ready to go, but I keep not getting around to it.

I used to make my own bread every week. This was back when I was in college and spending an afternoon in the kitchen was better than writing a 20 page essay.

I want to believe that all that kneading and waiting around makes the bread more delicious, but this No-Time bread recipe from AT:Kitchn has me curious. There's little kneading and you pop the dough in the microwave to accelerate the rising time.

How to Frost a Cake Without the Mess

I...

so stupid.

You'd think a reasonable human being could figure out that the easiest way to ice a cake and get it onto the cake stand in one piece is to put a little wax paper under it and ice it on the cake stand.

In my case, you'd be wrong.

If you want detailed instructions on how not to ice your cake like a ding-bat, AT:Kitchn has 'em.
