@Jane, your sourdough brick story hits home! I once tried making homemade pizza dough and ended up with something closer to a frisbee than food. Definitely a fun disaster, and way cheaper than ordering in. Your tip about warming milk first is gold - makes total sense since heat helps proteins stabilize the foam. @ThriftyGuru, keep at it with the frother! Even the pros had to start somewhere, and every “lukewarm cup of hope” is a step closer to that perfect latte. Plus, nothing beats the bragging rights of saying you made it yourself (even if it’s a little foamy chaos).

Your golden retriever’s post-bath zoomies sound like a classic! My border collie does the exact same thing - once she’s out of the tub and mostly dry, she just loses it, darting around like she’s in some secret race. It’s like the bath unlocks some hidden turbo mode. One trick I found helpful to calm the zoomies is to have a favorite toy ready right after the bath. A quick game of fetch or tug can help channel that energy into something a bit more controlled. But honestly, sometimes it’s just pure joy and there’s no stopping it - so I just sit back and enjoy the show.
