Share Your World – Week of October 15, 2018
What’s the biggest screw up in the kitchen that you were responsible for?
It’s hard to say. I’ve had a lot of screw ups in the kitchen over the years. My most recent screw up, I would say, is when I tried to make brioche two weeks ago. I had no idea it would take so much work – a dough starter, dough, time, not to mention I was missing a dough hook, which meant I must knead the dough by hand.
The bread did not come out right at all due to under-kneading. A dough hook, in my opinion, is the essential necessity to bread-making.
Another one of my memorable screw ups was when I tried to make Italian meringue for a cupcake frosting a few months back. It took me too long to pour the hot sugar syrup into the egg whites and it caused the sugar to turn rock hard. When I turned on the hand-mixer, whipped egg-white flew everywhere. What a mess it had been!
What, in your opinion, makes people believe absurd conspiracy theories?
Faith? Hope? Curiosity? I, for one, am one of those people who believe in absurd conspiracy theories. I don’t know why. I’m fascinated by them.
In 40 years what will people be nostalgic for?
Low price foods and goods. Things are going to get expensive, in my opinion, so expensive that a lot of people will probably not be able to afford some of the everyday items.
Is a hot dog a sandwich?
No! A hot dog is a hot dog.
What wonderful thing happened to you this week that you’d like to share? It can be a gratitude moment or something that just made you feel very happy at the time or made you laugh.
I got to see more fall colors when I spent Sunday afternoon driving up the mountain. I got some wonderful pictures despite not getting the chance to do one last hike before winter. My new car handles the curvy mountain roads beautifully and I am happy about that.

Finally finding a Halloween costume for my work party was also wonderful because I had spent the past two months figuring out who I going to be for Halloween ever since I found out the department is doing a group costume representing each of the twelve months in the year.
After an hour at the Halloween store, I settled on a Bumble Bee costume to represent the month of August – National Honey Bee Day.

Photo of the Day!
Here is another picture from my afternoon trip up Snow Basin on Sunday. I absolutely love the colors autumn offers in this picture. It’s one of the main reasons why I love fall – the colors are just incredible.
If it wasn’t for the cold, I believe I would’ve stood there longer than 5 minutes.

Immediately thought of this photo challenge. Here is my selection for this week’s topic of Gilded. Enjoy!

A Photo a Week Challenge: From the Back
Here is a picture of a duck I took a few weeks ago when I went to Silver Lake. It was interesting just sitting there in the middle of the lake watching ducks swim. I never knew ducks swam the doggy paddle with their feet. There were two ducks that swam very close to me and I got to take some portraits of them, which I will be sharing in later posts.
It was a fun trip and I hope to take another fun day trip this month since I now have my own car. I just have to decide the place.
Then, here is a self-portrait of me walking away from my camera. It was shot during my solo-road-trip to Capitol Reef National Park. I took quite a few of self-portraits during my hike of the Grand Wash Trail because otherwise, how will I get people to believe me when I say I’ve been to Capitol Reef National Park?
Anyway, I thought it’d be fun to do one where I’m walking. So I parked the camera on my trusty tripod, set a timer for 10 seconds, and just walked.

Thank you everyone for all your birthday wishes yesterday. I had the best birthday ever. Here, have yourselves a virtual sundae. 😆😄😂🤣 That sundae was excellent, by the way. I had it when my co-workers and I went out to lunch yesterday. They told the waiter it was my birthday and the waiter brought me the sundae after lunch. I was completely surprised.

I am grateful for the arrival of fall. It means I finally don’t have to slobber my arms in sunscreen every time I go out because I will be wearing a jacket over my short-sleeve shirt. 😄
