Hit 100 successful sourdough loaves yesterday and it felt weirdly emotional

I've been tracking my bakes since March 2023 and loaf number 100 came out of the oven looking like a magazine cover. That first loaf was a flat, burnt brick that my dog wouldn't even sniff. Has anyone else hit a random milestone like this and felt way more proud than they expected?

Saw some food scientist on a podcast talking about how baking bread triggers the same reward pathways in your brain as solving a puzzle. Makes sense honestly. 100 loaves is a lot of flour and a lot of failed experiments along the way. That first edible one probably felt like winning a small lottery.

That "failed experiments" line hits home. Same feeling as fixing something just right.
