Hey, Ask Lemmy, we all know that people love to talk about themselves, and I'd love to hear about some of your pleasant experiences. So, please, no matter how big; no matter how small, tell me something that you are proud to have made :)

What a lovely question! I’m excited to see what other people answer <3

This week I made one of the best loafs of blueberry lemon bread that I’ve ever made. It was super tasty!

    That sounds fantastic! I'm not an especially adept baker myself, but the draw... it calls to me sometimes. Although, on my Lemmy account I made a post asking for (bread) recipes, if you take my hint.

    I chose this as a sweet little question that could spark a bit of joy (and advance my ulterior aims of a thriving fediverse community), thank you :)

    Blueberry and lemon bread sounds really good but should I expect it to be bread or more cake like?

    I recently made by far the best focaccia of all the focaccias I've ever made.

    I self published two books and am very proud of them. Currently working on my third. The ideas are like little babies you craft into fully formed things, and it's a journey to get there - like a jigsaw and the total number of pieces and the shape keep changing as you progress. I love the experience of piecing ideas into a whole, dropping clues and red herrings, building tension, working towards revelations.

    Also this, in memory of Murphy:

    This article on how to buy a dirt cheap 'junk' Sony PSP from Japan, and how to bring it back to life!

    I love the Sony PSP, and any excuse I can find to write about them is fine by me. But I'm proud of this one :)

    I'm currently building a round shield. I have absolute no experience doing this and little to no woodworking experience so I know it won't be the best or even good. But I'm proud non the less.

    i just covered a whole neighborhood in rapid response phone numbers and stencil graffiti a few hours after a man was abducted. now everyone there should know how to look for goons and who to call to chase the cunts out.

    An ungodly mess of cables, planks, threaded rod, and old, used servers! My very own Proxmox Cluster! I have spent years tweaking and changing it, but I've had some services up (not, like, continuously) for 13 years now. The original server was an i7-950, and now I'm on dual Xeon Silver on my newest box.

    That sounds delicious, although I do wonder what brings forth the need to make weekly batches of sauce.

    Oh, that makes sense. I'll admit I've not done much gardening at all.

    I'll copy your original comment down here, just to keep it preserved before it gets synced out of existence forever.

    both last weekend, and this weekend I made sauce from my bucket loads of san marzano tomatoes. All the herbs (and the carrot I stuck in there) were from the garden too! Muy bien, very happy :)

    I managed to write an almost 50,000 word fanfic once. That was cool. Also got nice comments on it. Also cool.

    Way more recently I like the dehydrated apple slices.

    The comments make it worth it :)

    Also, most of the responses here on lemmy.ml have been food related, unlike the other communities, and I'm not sure what that means, but you mentioning the apple slices makes me wonder if it's some kind of curse at this point lol.

    (almost) forged my own knife ! Of course there was an actual craftsman overseeing the process, explaining and showing everything, and handling the actually hard parts (making the piece of steel perfectly flat after we forged it, and making the actual edge of the knife after we pre-shaped it) but there were still a lot of steps where I could have fucked it up and I'm happy with the result ! That thing cuts better than my 350€ folding knife (the catch is that it's regular steel, not stainless)
