I make edibles, normally using flower purchased from a dispensary. I used the THC % and this calculator to determine how much butter to add.

A friend (who normally only smokes) has requested cookies using the flower he gets directly from a grower. The grower apparently doesn't know the THC content and my friend is very lackadaisical about it, and doesn't want to ask for more information. So I'm stuck making my best guess.

I noticed that this flower had very little smell compared to what I usually get. I wondered if that has anything to do with potency? Is there like an average amount of THC that can use to estimate how much butter to use? Any advice in this situation? TIA.

Hello, bakers! This week’s challenge is Pies and Tarts, so whether you’re leaning toward a buttery, flaky pie crust or a tender, crumbly tart dough, there are plenty of options to explore!

There’s no one “right” dough here—shortcrust pastry is great for a firmer base, pâte sucrée (a sweet tart dough) adds sweetness and structure, and even graham cracker or cookie crusts bring their own charm. So, roll, press, or pat out whichever dough feels right for your pie or tart vision, and let the filling inspiration follow.

Some ideas for you to try:

Cherry Berry Pie

Vegan Chocolate and Strawberry Custard Tart

Mushroom and Asparagus Tart

Peach Hand Pies

Let's see those golden-brown edges and beautifully filled centers—happy baking!

I've made a lot of things recipe that I could have used for this challenge if I remembered to take a photo. Served these with dal paneer masala and it was all delicious.

Hey bakers! This week, we are diving into our cupboards, getting resourceful, and transforming the basics into something delicious! No need for fancy ingredients—just a dash of imagination and a sprinkle of ingenuity.

Maybe you're low on fresh eggs or milk—try substitutes like flaxseed or coconut milk if you have them on hand. Or perhaps you’ll lean on those jars of nut butter, bags of oats, or a hidden stash of chocolate chips for inspiration. Remember, spices and extracts can add a new layer to any recipe, so go bold!

Some ideas to get you started:

French Toast Casserole

Banana Bread

Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Bars

So raid your pantry, experiment with what you’ve got, and share your creative results.

Happy baking!

Recipe. I almost forgot to take a pic before they were gone. Delicious, served with fermented Cranberry sauce, maple syrup, and toasted pecans.

Acryllic on paper. Inspired by Jasper Fforde's novel Early Riser. Not My favorite of his books, though it wouldn't surprise me if it gets better on repeated readings. Unique world building is his strength.

I tried to do this in the style of Wassily Kandinsky, but I never learned the trick of painting thin lines and I was impatient to just be done with it.

Recipe. In lieu of cider, I used apple pie flavored whiskey. They are moist and delicious. I don't have a donut pan, so I placed rolled up aluminum foil in muffin tin spaces.

Saw this last night, and it was fantastic. Over the top combination of seriousness and humor, great practical effects, puppetry, and costumes.

I enjoyed participating in inktober, and seeing what everyone else made. I want to keep using prompts, but in a broader way than ink52.

We'll begin the first week of January. For now, if you visit the community, I'm soliciting ideas for prompts. That can include a subject, but it can also be a technique, medium, color, or any other kind of inspiration. All types of visual art are welcome. Hope to see you there.

Hello, lovely bakers! And this week it’s Crepes & Pancakes turn. Whether you’re swirling up delicate, lace-thin crepes or flipping a stack of fluffy, golden pancakes, this is your chance to master the art of the perfect griddle batter.

For crepes, consider letting the batter rest for a smoother, more tender result, and don’t forget the magic of a hot, lightly buttered pan. Pancakes can go classic and fluffy or take on a twist with add-ins and spices.

If you are looking for inspiration, here are some ideas to get you started: Ham and Cheese savoury Crepes

Japanese soufflé pancakes

Dutch baby

Let’s flip, stack, and roll our way through this week.

Happy baking!
