Let's talk at some point, maybe your first batch can be mead instead of beer--it's a simpler drink to make, but it's a little finickier about cleanliness.

If you just want great-tasting baked bread then you're fine. Ritu, cheating is fine if you aren't trying to make yourself into a better person for the new year.

I took a course some number of years ago on basic raised breads--I baked more for about a year but it has dropped off. I need to get back to it because... well because it's bread. And bread machines are cheating. I resolve to bake more breads. I took a course some number of years ago on basic raised breads--I baked more for about a year but it has dropped off.

Peel and slice on a bias. Deep fry until soft. Smash the slices into thin pancake like discs until the inside oozes out. Then fry AGAIN until crispy and season with salt, sugar, or better yet, both. Great for dipping, sandwich topping, etc. If you can't find the brown mushy plantain and all you have is the hard yellow under ripened version, I have a tip on how to cook those.

A little lime juice is nice. Oh, and buy the ones that are black and oozy. Slice, salt, then fry in coconut oil. A little lime juice is nice. Oh, and buy the ones that are black and oozy.
