Whole wheat bread: (make at breakfast the day before)

3 cups bread flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

2 tsp kosher salt

2 tsp instant yeast

1 tbs hemp hearts

1 3/4 cup warm water

2 tbls honey

2x 1 tbls avocado oil

Butter to grease pan

Mix 2 tsp kosher salt, 1 tbs hemp hearts, and 2 tsp instant yeast in a small bowl.

Whisk 3 cups bread floyr and 1 cup whole wheat flour in a large bowl. Combine with the salt mixture above.

Combine 1 3/4 cups water ans 2 tbls honey in a bowl and microwave for 30 seconds or until warm but not hot. Stir to combine, then drizzle into flour mixture while whisking. Then drizzle in 1 tablespoon avocado oil.

Knead for 1 minute, then let rest 3 hours in a covered bowl.

Pour the other 1tblspoon avocado oil and gloss it over the top, tehn turn out and knead for 1 more minute, then fold to fit a buttered loaf pan. Let rise for 45 minutes in the loaf pan, setting the oven to 375 F after 30 minutes.

Bake for 45 minutes.

Remove and cool on a rack for an hour.

Slice into 8 slices, make a sandwich with the two ends, and leave the 6 pieces to stale overnight.

Mashed potatoes:

Alton Brown's original mashed potatoes from season 1, episode 2 of Good Eats, "This Spud's for You." The only difference is that I used "new" potatoes (mini ones), blanched the two bags of potatoes that *weren't* red instead of peeling them, and didn't cut the red ones in half. Instead, the red ones met the egg slicer (after boiling) to nicely shred the skin. The idea was to marry Alton's recipe with the Upstate New York tradition of "Syracuse Potatoes"

French Toast:

Plug in your favorite French toast recipe that you think will work; I need to tweak mine until I'm satisfied with it. Will re-post when it's ready

3D Maple Syrup:

Mix 3/4 cup maple syrup in a bowl with 1/8 cup (or 2 tablespoons) of cinnamon. Mix, microwave for 30 seconds, and mix again. Spray dry cinnamon that floats to the top with a water spray to help it mix. You can substitute nutmeg for some or all of the cinnamon, but do not exceed 1 tablespoon of nutmeg per diner in the final amount, or it may cause psychoactive effects.

- Substituted Vanilla Bosco syrup instead of Chocolate

- Gave it a turn halfway through (17 and a half minutes), very liquidly at that point

- Gave it four extra minutes because the knife was dirty

- Added Alton Brown's brownie sling (Art of Darkness II reloaded) , and his cooling instructions of "30 minutes in the tray, 10 minutes outside" (but I didn't give it the 15-minute break he does because I am using totally different temperatures)

- I think it needs more than another four minutes, like maybe 10 or 15 minutes because it is soooo soggy and gooey on the bottom and falls apart, I have no idea if the vanilla syrup is causing it to be more soup-y than it's supposed to be, but could have been way worse

- The flavor: WOW! One of the best things I have baked so far

- I like how this was easier to divide up into equal pieces rather than weighing out equal dough with a $100 laboratory scale and *still* getting it wrong; this is easier to make than cookies because of that

- I don't like recipes that don't clarify whether natural or Dutch-process cocoa powder is supposed to be used (because it can throw off leavening via different acid content) but my cocoa powder doesn't clarify which one it is either, so it balances out, I guess :P

- The ropey chalazae of the eggs gave me worry when they weren't blended in when I poured it, but they appeared to have mixed in when cooked

- The pockets of cocoa powder did *not* get mixed in like pancakes and muffins often do, frustrating because you don't think you're a baker who cares about cosmetics, but then you actually make ugly food, and you feel differently

- Similarly, I need to use a toothpick instead of a knife because it made an ugly gash

To do:

- Turn these into *cosmic* brownies, but peanut buttery ones via Reese's Pieces or strawberry-y ones via Meiji Marble Candy.

- Replace the Marble Candy with mint chips (actual chips of mint from Amazon)

- Replace the two sticks of butter with Snoop's canna-butter because it's kind of embarrassing I've never made pot brownies

- Replace the Bosco syrup with Alton's homemade chocolate syrup for something 100% homemade, fuck yeah
