Which one wins in real life

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where bread stopped feeling new.

I started this because my rainy evening felt a little stuck, and pastry seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

Favorite café got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. I keep a note about cookies for exactly this reason.

Cook at home got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. For me it came down to the playlist.

Cook at home got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.
