How many times should a nurse be allowed to screw up sticking you in the arm with a needle before stopping and going to get someone else with more experience. It’s freaking ridiculous. No no, by all means, blow the veins in both arms. Just keep trying until you eventually get it. People don’t mind being a human pin cushion. You got the patient in tears, and you still don’t have the sense to ask for help.

I had that dream you’re at work, and nothing is going right. No matter how hard you try, stuff just keeps becoming a bigger and bigger mess. Then you wake up absolutely exhausted from working all night, for free, and you have to get up and go to work for real and work even more. I feel like I should charge them for all those overtime hours I worked in my sleep.

We have all been there. You go to the bakery with the best of intentions, but your eyes are bigger than your stomach. You come home with a dozen beautiful donuts, eat two, and suddenly realise you have a lot of leftovers. In the past, these might have gone stale in the bread bin and eventually been thrown out. But in today’s world, where we are all conscious of food waste and trying to make our money go further, throwing away quality food is not an option. The good news is that bakery products are more resilient than people think. With a little bit of know-how, you can preserve the freshness of your treats and enjoy them days, or even weeks, later. It is all about understanding how air and moisture affect the texture of the dough and taking steps to protect it. The Science of Staling Staling is not just about drying out; it is actually a chemical process where the starch molecules in the flour recrystallise. This is what makes soft bread turn hard and crumbly. Cold temperatures, like those in your main fridge compartment, actually accelerate this process. That is why putting bread or donuts in the fridge is usually a bad idea unless they have a cream filling that might spoil. However, freezing is different. Freezing stops the process in its tracks. It locks the moisture in. The key is speed. You want to freeze the item while it is still fresh, not after it has already started to go stale. If you freeze a stale donut, you will defrost a stale donut. But if you freeze a fresh one, you can bring it back to life almost perfectly. Proper Preparation is Key You cannot just throw the cardboard box in the freezer and hope for the best. Air is the enemy here. Freezer burn happens when air reaches the food and dehydrates the surface. To prevent this, you need to wrap your items tightly. I recommend wrapping each item individually in cling film or parchment paper, and then placing them all inside a heavy-duty freezer bag or an airtight container. This double layer of protection ensures that no air gets in and no moisture gets out. It also prevents the food from absorbing smells from other things in your freezer. Nobody wants a donut that tastes like frozen peas or fish fingers. The Golden Question Answered So,[url=https://novaksbakery.com/blog/can-you-freeze-donuts-how-when-should-they-be-frozen/]can you freeze donuts[/url] successfully? The answer is a resounding yes, provided you do it right. Plain glazed or sugared donuts freeze the best. If they are filled with dairy cream, you need to be a bit more careful as the cream can sometimes split or change texture when thawed. However, jam or custard fillings usually hold up quite well. When it comes time to eat them, patience is a virtue. Let them thaw slowly at room temperature on a wire rack. Do not be tempted to blast them in the microwave for too long, as this can make them rubbery. A quick ten-second burst might warm them up, but natural thawing preserves the texture best. Reviving the Texture Once thawed, they might be a little soft. If you want to bring back that "just baked" slightly crisp exterior, pop them in a hot oven or an air fryer for a minute or two. This refreshes the glaze and warms the dough through. It makes them taste remarkably close to how they were on day one. By mastering this simple skill, you can buy in bulk to save money, avoid food waste, and ensure you always have a sweet treat on standby for unexpected guests or sudden cravings. It is a win-win for your wallet and your palate. Conclusion Don't let the fear of waste stop you from buying the treats you love. With a freezer and a bit of preparation, you can extend the shelf life of your bakery favourites significantly. It is a simple kitchen hack that every household should know.

@gabriel_true Day 131: I was wrong. Apparently my early Birthday surprise is tomorrow not on Thursday, which is great for me as I don't have to wait longer, but also terrible because that means I'll be too excited to sleep lol. I honestly don't even know where our mom would take me? There's not many places I go, and the only ones I could think of are things I believe mom absolutely WOULD NOT choose because she wouldn't want to choose a typical destination we'd visit. She honestly knows me better than I know myself most times XD, so I feel like when we arrive to wherever it is we're going to tomorrow, it'll be so exciting that I'll tell her said place is a place I never knew I needed to visit until now lol. Can't wait to tell you what it is we did! - I Like Surprises: Wei-Wei

It always surprises me what random bullshit bots can pull out of their hat here. I still think the most random one was for a used book store in some remote part of India
