    I've never made a challah - I would be interested in that recipe!

    I'm a fairly new baker (started late last holiday season - maybe mid-November?) but I've taken a strong liking to it. I do a lot of crust baking: tart doughs, quiche doughs, pizza doughs, pie doughs, bread (for sandwiches or for bread bowls)...and cake, which is a bit of an outlier.

    I've always loved archery as a concept. My characters in video games always used bow & arrow builds if they were an option.

    I live in a relatively large metro area and there are surprisingly few archery ranges around. It seems like everyone that's into the hobby got into it via bowfishing so they aren't really looking to/needing to spend time in a range. I took the (hour long) trek out to a range on a whim once and, man, I loved it. It was so natural. The person leading the class said that my partner and I were naturals and that we should come to an intermediate class sometime. I spent upwards of three hours out there just zoned out, enjoying nature and working on form and accuracy. That was years ago and I haven't been able to go back since.

    I looked into buying my own bow but (at least where I live) you can't practice in public parks. I don't own a home so I can't set anything up in my backyard or anything like that. How do those of you in non-optimal locations keep up with the hobby? Open to any and all suggestions!

    I've never heard of this genre or even really listened to anything resembling EDM before but this is all insanely cool. Thanks! I have a new genre to explore this week. Also: It seems like both...

    Also: It seems like both 'Even the Stars' and 'Left Me Bleeding' Apple Music link leads to the RWTS single. Just an FYI!
