most of her cousins have done the same. It has been really inspiring.
Don't worry, your kids will get to help pay it back.Got our stimulus "debit card" today.
What a fucking joke.
We will be lucky if we can even take all 3 of us to McDonalds for dinner one night with it. Not even sure why they bothered sending it to us.
I also did not realize that the $500/kid was prorated.
Pay it back? Are we still pretending we're gonna be paying off our debts? :^DDon't worry, your kids will get to help pay it back.

I'm so honored. Thank you.
Bumping this to find out how this competes with the air fryer? @KaidoPutting the Challenger bread pan to good use today. This thing is a beast! Ciabatta using bread flour was on the menu today:
Jason's Quick Coccodrillo Ciabatta Bread
This is a formula originally posted on usenet in the great alt.bread.recipes group by Jason Molina all credit to him and the 'King of Gloop', I'm reposting it here for those that missed it there. I've made this quite a few times and it's always a huge hit. Giant bubbles and a golden crust. Best...www.thefreshloaf.com
I've used the Challenger baking vessel twice now. It's crazy expensive at $300, but it's also a super-niche product, and the price is on-par with high-end Dutch ovens like Le Creuset sells. Features I like:
1. The handles are awesome. Side handles & top handles. It makes it soooo easy to get in & out of the oven, and to take the lid off mid-bake.
2. It's basically an upside-down Dutch oven. The flat bottom makes loading even wet doughs really easy...but you don't have to worry about burning your fingers because it's not deep!
3. Oven spring seems good so far. Didn't have to spray water inside my oven or put a pan of water inside my oven, so the steam-trapping feature of the sealed design seems to be working.
4. It will last several generations. Definitely one of those "buy it for life" products. I'll be using this on a near-daily basis for the next year, so we'll see how it holds up long-term!

I'm getting exactly $0, again.
That's not necessarily a bad thing... it probably means that you're making decent money to begin with.
My family is on the cut line, so I'll get a smaller check than most.
Challenger Bread Pan.
That's an expensive piece of kit @ $225.
The Challenger Bread Pan | Challenger Breadware
Bake better bread in your home oven today! Made for Bakers, by Bakers, this revolutionary cast iron vessel will level up your baking.challengerbreadware.com
Not cheap, plus it requires using an oven. I'm happy making my bread in my bread machine. I used to use my oven, of course, but bread is made in the machine now, one of my robots.That's $70 off, that's a good price! This is made from cast-iron, so it's something you'll hand down to your great-great-great grandchildren.
It's an awesome piece of hardware. I alternate between doing RideFree's bread in the bread machine, using a Baking Steel (nice for certain shapes), and using the Challenger. So I probably use it at least 2 to 3 times a week. Really great design all around!

We might all be getting $0 this time aroundI'm getting exactly $0, again.
You're talking about the Anova or the Instant Pot? It's unclear to me.If you had no kitchen stuff at all & had a pile of money available, I'd buy the Anova oven before anything else. Even before an Instant Pot (be still my heart!). It's completely changed the way I cook & the way I eat. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all pretty low-effort & pretty awesome because of this machine lol.
I think we'll get something but we may have to wait for Joe.We might all be getting $0 this time around
