Alright, twitter dot com. I'm going to make pretzels for some fucking reason.

Obviously I don't own a stand mixer. But neither did the pioneers.

Confession. I don’t think I’ve ever used yeast. Especially not this non-powder kind. Internet says to double the amount? Seems safe.

The water is supposed to be 110 degrees Fahrenheit. I don’t have a thermometer. So that’s halfway to boiling?

Actually have a medical thermometer. All good.

Water, sugar, and yeast. Looks quite gross and also smells terrible.

2020 is the first time I’ve ever consistently had flour in the house. I have to say I’m floored by the amount of foods that are made almost entirely out of flour.

Oh this is really important. Kool and the Gang is on.

NOoooo! (This can be the cover photo for my forthcoming cookbook.)

Would def be easier with a mixer. But my forearms needed some exercise. It appears to be dough now, but I have to wait AN HOUR. What am I supposed to do for an hour?!

Clean my computer I guess.

I’m back. And I’m so tired but I’m in too deep

Jesus Christ.

Cover with a “clean” tea towel. Lol. What is this step for anyway?

Um what roll into a 24” rope? How?????

Sage wisdom from my dad: 24” is about the same depth as your countertop.

Next. Form them into a pretzel. How the fuck do you do that?

Hi. Hello. Good evening. Hello.

Nope. YouTube video from brother suggests twisting is a better method.

What I haven’t been showing is how many of my hairs have to be removed.

Time to boil this shit.
