omega A is a nurse and meets omega B during the war. omega A is amazed/immediately smitten with omega B, who is a decorated warrior, something that isn't common for omegas in omega A's culture. omega B thinks A is pretty cute, and so he keeps finding reasons to go to the sick bay.

omega C and omega D are ready to take the next step in their relationship - merging their nests. They've lived together for a little while, with separate spaces, but they spend so much time sharing, what's the point? C is nervous about bringing it up, and is worried that D will decline and say they're moving too fast. Meanwhile D has been working on a little speech to propose the idea to C during date night.

Omegas E and F are mortal enemies. Always have been. They grew up in the same pack, and have always been competitive with one another. When a new beta with an impressive pedigree comes to town, they both fight to outdo each other, to win her affection. Although one thing leads to another, and maybe all of that "hate" starts softening into something a little sweeter.

Omega G grew up in a culture where everyone is treated equally, no matter the dynamic. They decide to go to university in a different part of the country and meet Omega H, her new roommate, who comes from a very conservative background. Omega H is more outgoing than Omega G and wants to her (G) to tag along to all of her (H) social events. G gets upset watching H "lower and disrespect" herself in order to please people from other dynamics. H thinks G's attitude and beliefs will force her into a lifetime of isolation and social ostracization. Guess they've both got a lot to learn!

Baking time’s over, 35 min with the lid on, 25 min with the lid off. Get the bread out of the oven, turn the enameled cast iron over and WTF!?

There’s a long black thing embedded at the bottom of the bread.

Yeah, your guess is right. I’ve baked the spatula for an hour at 180 degrees C.

Good thing it was good quality silicone spatula, so the bread is still edible and the spatula usable.

Thanks oxo.
