Making bread, no oven

Do you make bread without a full-fledged oven? How do you do it? What kinds of breada do you recommend to a noob baker without an oven? I have a cheapo toaster oven and a frying pan with a lid and would like to have a go at making yeast breads.

    I haven't yet tried it myself, but I have actually seen a few frugal influencers that I follow on Instagram using Dutch ovens to bake sourdough on their stovetops. I'm inspired to give it a go, since we go through a fair bit of bread and it would be nice to DIY for the health and cost benefits. There are some resources online if you search for phrases like "stovetop bread baking" or "Dutch oven baking".

    We actually have an oven and I have never baked bread. It's something I thought about this winter, but making yeast breads with almost no counter space sounds like too much. Try searching "rice cooker bread" - I thought this might be a thing and now I wanna try it.

    @helloalissa I'm so jealous...if I could pick one thing to have in a kitchen that would make life so much easier here it would be an oven! I had seen people online baking cakes in their rice cookers, so I should have put two and two together that bread could be possible as well. It's nice to know that there are some options available, even if they do require some thinking outside the box!

Best places for One Piece merch/things to do?

My son has recently become very interested in all things One Piece, and I was wondering if any of you know some fun places to check out for merchandise or One Piece events/activities. I know there used to be the thing at Tokyo Tower, but that has since closed. Any tips would be appreciated!

What are you doing without?

Ever heard of the saying "Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without"? I feel like it's ever-appropriate these days. Are there things that you're trying (or having) to do without, given the cost of living increases? I haven't bought new clothes in quite a while, and I feel like when we first moved here that was something I often did, almost like a hobby. These days I might not be the trendiest, but I use the clothes I have, and I guess I'm more comfortable in my style.

Every year, some years, one and done? How often do you visit local festivals?

One of our biggest annual festivals took place in the last week, and it got me thinking -- with your local area's annual festivals, do you go every year, some years, or check it out once and don't make a repeat appearance? I'd say it's a mixed bag for me: there are some I love going to each year, some that I go to every few years (e.g. if the weather really sucks I'll skip it), and some that I've been to once and didn't find the need to revisit. How about you?
