Good morning NYC, I am looking to become a professional baker, hoping to start baking classes in a culinary school by spring 2027

I have a "baking for one" cookbook I ordered and is on the way just because I don't have anyone to eat my extra cookies and stuff, and I need to break out of the habit of takeout everyday and into cooking for myself.

I have weird eating habits because I just can't take a lot of food, but lots of baked goods should be ok. But I want to learn to make black and white cookies from a fellow New Yorker! It represents my people, like egg creams!

Oh and I want to have sex or something I guess maybe if that's every other post here, whatever https://www.wcostream.tv/space-ghost-coast-to-coast-season-6-episode-5-curling-flower-space

When I was in my 20s I used luuuve my eonsmoke, the coffee/espresso flavor

fast forward 15 or so years and I have not had alcohol in two and a half years. I dropped vaped nicotine and all caffeinated beverages (but not chocolate) 7 months ago, but I'm stuck on weed.

I am not buying any more weed, but I want to replace it with nasal tobacco unironically, there are problems with that because of course weed you use continuously and I think you need like 5 hours at least between when your nose is "full" and "empty" (because I have used it before many times in my life, it isn't "snorted" like coke or k, it is "snuffed" where it hangs out in your nose itself, instead of actually sucked up into the brain" but I bought one of those FUM things and it sucks, so let's go with the safest form of tobacco that seems like the most dangerous to outsiders.

There's a youtube video about a guy who says "it helps me with guitar," and there are several african countries where a majority of women use it, and a majority of people who use it being women there too. Weird!

But I want to know: do the coffee ones contain caffeine? Because I'm ordering now (and probably using it as an excuse to re up my weed until it comes in the mail, you need to get this shit off the internet unfortunately) Because I kinda don't care if they do, nicotine and caffeine are like really similar close friends to me, it's just that caffeine is kinda "a drug you came be withdrawn from without really ever being addicted kinda" and nicotine is the "i quit heroin but i can't fucking quit marlboros" level of insanity of addiction for some people.

Bonus round: tips on avoiding brands with sawdust given that this stuff is totally unregulated in that way? Like pencil shavings in your pepper during the industrial revolution.

And this isn't a troll, I unironically trust this sub for *quitting* drugs more than an actual quit sub that involves a bunch of dumb therapist shit going down (i have a therapist but that's off topic) We have stats showing AA is only 2% effective so I'm trusting a community of people who actually DO drugs, imagine that

Tired of creating an alt *just* for personals that doesn't work because it gets banned for karma and age.

Short answer: I will give you a very long answer into what I am looking for if you just send me a message and chat first. I just don't want everything I have written on reddit to be pinned to a real name and face, and have that potentially lead to my dox, so I am trying apps that literally don't have photo requirements. It's very frustrating.

Answer, and if I trust you, you will get the full answer, like a whole essay with sources. I have a rough blueprint for starting and maintaining a family of three within ~4 years tops if we BOTH make some sacrifices, it would be unconventional in some ways but let's just say it IS me being the most practically minded with the evidence I've found and what I think I'm capable of.

And I'm absolutely open to some suggestions and compromises.

We take some skills and education from the city and LEAVE for a cheaper cost of living, worked for my parents for 4 years before my father died. We don't have to rush into anything, this is all still very early, but I'm getting older and I want a more interesting convo than sex.

That is all, message in a bottle that will likely be deleted by myself when so one cares in a week.
