It's "Independence" Day! Which means we have already suffered through multiple nights of fire works, and now have to go socialize. But I managed to bake enough bread to fob off onto the inlaws.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own.

I fucking hate fireworks cos they're dangerous and noisy. So I'm happy that I'm English and don't need to worry

Luckily it seems my neighbors can't afford either fireworks or bullets, as last night was blessedly quiet. Hoping tonight stays the same as I don't need someone setting the woods on fire. We've been in a drought for months.

My jaw hurts and I have no idea why. Only thing I can think of is that I had a giant corn dog within the last hour, not long before it started hurting.
