Anyone have a good, simple bread recipe? My first attempt wasn’t great

What recipe are you using and what went wrong with it?

My general recommendation is a good book, like The Bread Baker's Apprentice. All bread recipes are fundamentally pretty simple, but they can be pretty sensitive to technique, so it may be that there's some troubleshooting to do even if the recipe is solid. But I need more details to help further 🙂

(Also it's totally normal for your first loaf to be disappointing. My first several loaves were the saddest-looking bread I've ever seen.)

Hi Everyone, I need your opinion.
I met a girl 2 months into my 6month exchange in NYC. I enjoyed her company and we had fun together. She is really busy (IB) but we made time for each other. so it was late night and weekend hangout. When i was leaving to my home country in UK, we said we would try to make it work. Now that i am home, it has become difficult. I have lots of friends (girls), therefore i am always with them when not working, and she doesn't like it much as my ex is among (TBC)

I’m mid 30s F. Recently started seeing this guy, where he is “good enough”. Good conversations, decent time together, he has a good heart, but nothing about him shines. - not fit (I work out everyday and play sports), meh social skills (he doesn’t have best friends, just few he hangs out with), bit less energy than me.
There is a feeling in me that says “he’s going to be a comfortable life partner” and “he is just good enough, but if I break up I won’t find someone for a long time”
Do I stay?
