I can't ever get the pretty ear or design 😑. I score the heck out of it, but it never tears where the cut is. If it tastes good, I'm ok with it 🤷‍♀️. I use a dutch oven covered for like 15 min then open it to get it crusty and keep an eye out so it isn't blackened. 

 I want to smell fresh hot bread and eat it with butter and salt. 

 Same. Love the smell.  

 It draws people in.
Oh, the heartburn. 

 I'll be having some heartburn at about 02:00 tomorrow.
