  • i think using node and express.js is very approachable in serving your web content. https://expressjs.com/

    following the hello world example on their site will help clarify how everything clicks together.

    i know u said this is a project for learning, but static site hosting is pretty cheap and may provide less headaches as you’re learning. sites like porkbun offer it for $3 USD and i think even github has a free way tp host a static site. idk what running a computer at home would cost monthly in electricity.








  • I tend to use either almond or cashew.

    Almond to me has a bit more nutty flavor whereas cashew is like a softer butter like flavor. Depending on what i’m making determines which i will choose.

    for both of these loaves I used cashew butter.

    funnily, i haven’t tried peanut butter. mainly because i feel the peanut flavor would be very strong. though i should try it some time as it tends to be a cheaper option compared to almond or cashew

    I would really like to try something atypical like pistachio butter, but i have a feeling it would be quite spendy.



  • Certainly. This is a recipe from Erica Kerwien That I adjusted just a little.

    Basic Bread: 3/4 cup of nut butter (whatever your preference) 4 eggs 3 tablespoons of honey 1/4 cup of blanched fine almond flour 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda

    mix wet ingredients until smooth then add dry ingredients. mix until smooth and pour into a 3x7 bread pan. smooth the top and let it rest for a few minutes before placing it in the oven.

    i used a standing mixer, but you could also do it by hand. i also used parchment paper to make it easier to get out of the pan.

    Bake at 350F for 40min or until golden. test with a toothpick.

    Blueberry Bread: 3/4 cashew butter 4 eggs 3 tablespoons of honey 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/4 cup of coconut flour 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda 1 cup of blueberries

    mix wet ingredients until smooth then add dry ingredients. mix in only half of your blueberries trying not to mash them up too much in the process. pour into a 3x7 pan and smooth the top. drop the remaining blueberries atop of the batter and press them slightly into the batter.

    Bake at 350F for 50min test with a toothpick.

    My changes to the original recipe was just adding more honey. Then for the blueberry bread i swapped out almond flour for coconut flour. i feel that coconut flour has a more softer flavor than almond flour.

    Im not all that great at cooking/baking so any suggestions to improve is appreciated.




  • i had a similar instance. when i was younger ~10 i remember waking up scared by a nightmare around midnight. i decided i’d go to my sisters room because she was likely still up and i didn’t want to wake my parents.

    her room was on the second floor so i had to quietly run in the dark and up the stairs as to not disturb my parents.

    when i got to the steps i began hearing a crowd of people and with each step up the stairs it got louder and louder. i recall it being one of the loudest things i’ve ever heard. at the landing of the stairs it was so loud i collapsed onto the door handle and swing it open. then just like that the noise stopped and it was silent.

    my sister was up watching a movie and looked over curious to why i made such a dramatic entrance. i don’t recall ever saying anything i just curled up on her floor watching a movie until i fell asleep.

    i’m in my 30s and i still think about that event at least once a year and it still gets my heart pumping! thankfully it has never happened since.
