It depends on how you define things
If I can believe my parents, Iāve been playing with dough and berries and other things I could find from a very young age. (scary I was allowed toā¦ ) But if you count from āeatableā or ābearableāā¦ Mwah 90? Ischā¦ Ischā¦ Up and downsā¦ Still

No, no corn meal or corn starch or thickener, its pretty runny, if its not runny we think thereās something wrong with it. But I think thats regional tooā¦
Ok, seriously, this is hilariousā¦ we are fucking SERIOUS about our motherflipping butter tarts!!

I can still remember the taste of my first brew. It was a Muntonās Amber Ale from a can, with an extra ounce of Willamette hop pellets in the boil. YUM!

About another experiment:
I found these a short while away at a local shop https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergamot_orange
The peels with some alcohol and sugar in a thigh container. (weck pot). Tonight I opened it to take a smell, whoa. Maybe this is something to share.

God I love butter tarts. I donāt make them nearly as often as I used to (the debate over using lard became something of a sore spot in our kitchen)
The best butter tart, IMO, is the one surreptitiously mooched out of the freezer and consumed before itās had time to fully thaw. Now that Iām (technically) an adult I donāt really have to do that anymore, but itās still my favorite way to eat butter tarts

Seriously the platonic ideal of what a butter tart should be. I died and went to butter tart heaven.
some day when i settle down and become a grownup, i want to start a bakery with almost a verbatim copy of this.

i donāt know how well you could sell meat pies in a lot of the states, but they are so damned delicious.
I want to do bread, all kinds of it. Maybe we should pair, when we ever grow up. It would be a great bakery and shop.

Thatās almost the opposite of my dream, which is to live near a bakery like this and buy their stuff frequently.
My experience so far suggests that if I were cooking professionally, I would almost certainly learn to hate it. Cooking for 5 people, sporadically, is right at the upper bound of how much I want to deal with.
@Missy_Pants Iām in Montreal now. I did live in Toronto for a few years, but it was more than a decade ago.

not really. a bit, but itās easier to find an empanada or samosa than say a cornish pasty or real meat pie. which is a shame cause it is such an obvious fit. there is a small producer of pies called Cousin Jacks i think, which are very tasty, but are expensive (since they are hand made) and small (since they are hand made).
yep. yep yep yep. i like to think i could do it, but 20 burgers a day or a few dozen loaves, or like two cakes per day would likely kill me.
i can do 15 people at one time by myself (heh) but that is like once a year, and i need a few days off afterwards.

Yeah. I did a double batch of potato rolls yesterday, and the amchoor potatoes from upthread (tastes like samosas, super good). By the time I was trying to help my kids do a batch of brownies, I was so burned out I was answering two out of three questions with some variation on āI donāt knowā or āask your momā
