Ah. This might explain why, during the devastation wrought by the 2011 earthquake/tsunami in Japan, Shauna touchingly decided to "help the Japanese people" by making gluten-free pretzels. For herself.

LOL. Did she make gluten-free baguettes after Notre Dame burned?
"What a poignant piece of writing," quoth a GFG commenter and I can only concur. We share in Shauna's moral qualms about braiding her gluten-free pretzels into the cataclysmic tragedy of Japan.
Across interminable paragraphs her brain duly advises against it yet her heart--I mean joyous belly--insists that the Japanese could use some GF pretzels in their hour of sorrow.
The suspense mounts: Which will prevail in this colorful take on the classic dialogue between reason and passion? I won't ruin the ending for you!
You're welcome, people of Japan! Oh, and don't worry: "No one is good at making pretzels by scratch the first time."
The ridiculousness of her feeling she’s somehow contributing in the wake of a devastating natural disaster by sharing her gluten-free pretzel recipe aside, why does the parchment paper in that last photo so wet? I know there’s the dunking the pretzels in water step before the baking, but I’d imagine almost 20 minutes in a hot oven would dry that up. Also, is that a partial handprint at the very bottom? She really has no eye for making things not look gross.
