My first loaf of bread ever. I'm so proud of it I have to share! I used the recipe for milk bread in The Joy of Cooking, and I don't have a stand mixer so I did it all by hand. It was a bit nerve wracking but I think it turned out well!2yr ⋅ 248_RPA ⋅ r/Baking

In 1988 my husband and I traveled overland by bus from Kathmandu to London. We needed a bag for toiletries so I bought this Puma tote bag for $33. My husband said it was too expensive but since then it's been to 4 continents, 304 cities worldwide, and still comes with me whenever I travel.8mo ⋅ 248_RPA ⋅ r/BuyItForLife
The Great Wave Off Cat-A-Gawa, Exploding Kittens, 1000 pieces. Lots of little details that make it a really, really fun puzzle. Challenging enough that it's not a walk in the park, but very do-able. The pieces are sturdy and it's clear whether they fit or not. I loved this one!1yr ⋅ 248_RPA ⋅ r/Jigsawpuzzles
