When my housemate made perfect croissants, I thought my sourdough would match them. How wrong I was

"Just glue!" I yelled at the screen."Dad," I took the deepest of breaths, "it's like fondue, OK? It's the texture of fondue!"I lifted the goo into a mixer and added more flour, desperate for anything resemblingto form. I tried hopelessly to adjust my glasses with my wrists, smearing the lenses as if they'd been dipped in rotten milk.

I turned to grab a tea towel and, in my haste, my elbow bumped the speed controller of the mixer. Plumes of flour mushroomed into the air — covering every surface. I collapsed onto the bench, put my face down on the cool marble and closed my eyes. A teaspoon stuck to my cheek.Next, I lay down a piece of baking paper and dumped the goo on top. It glared at me.I began slipping around the kitchen, my wet feet on a soiled tea-towel and my whole body dusted in flour. My hands, once again, were dangerously adhesive. I attempted to drag the goo, on its baking paper, to the only remaining area of clean bench.

I let out a whimpering noise I've never made before. This caused Elliot to emerge, looking concerned. He paused, took in the scene, and politely backed out of the room.I stood silent — unable to process the disaster that had unfolded. I was supposed to be the focaccia queen."May everyone panic buy flour," I prayed, "so I'll never have to attempt this Everest again."
