That's messed up. Cheating on them right in front of them.
Unless they are into it.

Bread making.
Yup, that's what mine looks like, sometimes.
Over the past four years, I've worked on learning how to make bread using old-style no-knead sourdough method. It's not the same as bread made any other way. Tartine Bread book is where I figured it out but it took a while.
Spin forward to today. I love the bread but it's hard to teach others how to do it. Then came along a show on Netflix that shows exactly how to do it. It's almost as if they were watching me. Kinda spooky. Anyway, if you want a project that doesn't cost much, requires hands-on learning and makes the best bread you'll ever -- better even than good 6 buck per loaf "artisan bread" -- have, go to Netflix and open up The Chef Show, episode 3 he covers all the details and shows the hands on details that make all the difference.
The show where I became motivated to learn was also a Netflix show called "Cooked", I don't much care for the woo woo sciency stuff but he talks about why longer fermentation time might produce a more healthy bread than the quicker rising loaves people eat today. Maybe he's right, IDK. The bread made this way is full of flavors and smells that are the product of fermentation that can only be had with a slower process that involves fermentation beginning with a healthy sourdough starter.

I've kept this same culture going for four years now. It's like a pet that I keep on the counter only I just have feed it every four days and it doesn't shed hair everywhere.

My wife has been really into making sourdough bread the last year or two, and is getting pretty good. We haven't bought bread for at least a year now it is pretty nice option. But it does eat up a day basically every couple weeks.Bread making.

I like her starters for my compost pile. I don't know if it adds much, but it is fun to think about all that bacterial activity having a place to work on.

The key to a healthy bread is using sprouted grains, much better for you than refined flour.

I hit the jackpot at the store tonight!
Out of work early today because I have to be on the road at 2am tommorow morning, hit the store on the way home not expecting to find much of anything and surprisingly I scooped a few things -
4lb family pack of 80/20 ground beef
2lb black forest ham lunch meat
2 packages sliced mild cheddar cheese
1 loaf wheat bread
1 dozen jumbo eggs
1 750ml of SKYY vodka
3lb of Gala apples
The hamburger score is a major victory! I already have stuff at the house to make meatloaf, now I'll go back out Saturday morning after work and hopefully be able to find box of elbow macaroni noodles and canned diced tomatoes to make goulash
That's what's up

It's that I work so much that I don't get a chance to shop like a normal person can and with the hoarders picking shelves clean, it's been a challenge to get what I need.
The store I was at had decent inventory when I was there, but it is was getting cleaned out. I seen an asshole hoarder with probably a dozen of those 4lb family packs of ground beef in his cart, he had a bunch of other shit too, probably 6-8 dozen eggs and at least 10 loaves of bread. It's because of those assholes the stores can't keep up and everyone else can't get what they need.
I only take what I need for the time, I try to be a decent human and make sure someone else can get supplies too.
If the time comes and I can't get what I need and I see a hoarder with a cart full of something I want, guess what's going to happen? Mr. Hoarder better be carrying a gun and prepared to shoot me in the store because otherwise I'm taking something from him.
There's plenty of food in America to go around and no reason for these idiots to take more than they need
