there there, my 70-year old mom is being careful for the sake of my disabled sister, not her own (this highly disturbs my other siblings, does it matter why she's being careful since she actually is being careful)
Once I explained my age: I can drive a car, but I still go to school and it was the best description of being 20 I could give to a 6 year old who didn’t get why I am allowed to play with them

A small guess for the uneven baking is that that side of the oven is currently exposed to cool air, where as the other side still has a cupboard next to it, giving a slight difference in temperature. At least, that's my guess based on the video - just rotate the pan half way through by 180°
whenever I'm feeling like I have accomplished nothing in a day there is usually a video of Jessica baking waiting in my notifications you know what Imma go bake shit
The Great British Bake-Off has nothing on 'Jessica Bakes & Rambles'. Honestly, this needs to be a show. On television. Like, now! Thank you for always bringing a smile to my face, Jessica. I just simply adore you. Wishing all of you the best! Take care!! Lovely as always 👍🤟💝
Me: fully working kitchen, indoors, plenty of counter space, no memory issues, full recipe... still can't bake muffins properly. Jessi: 80% demolished kitchen, outdoors, pandemic, memory issues, no recipe, no counter space, mixing on the floor, filming the whole time... bakes lovely muffins and teaches us all valuable life lessons.
I'm 32 and I feel like an adult about 20% of the time. Like when I have to make really big business decisions or I meal prep like a boss. The rest of the time I 100% feel like I'm making it up. The big advantage of adulthood for me is that slowly but surely I've built a wardrobe I actually like with quality pieces without spending a fortune at once - it adds up over the years if your size stays consistent. Oh yea, I also bought a couch. Like not from a random person or out of a dumpster. That made me feel like an adult.
I bought my first nice vintage couch for $300 last year when I turned 22 and that was like a big milestone into adulthood for me haha. But then life continued and I was like okay no I have no idea what I’m doing 🙆🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Oh that and owing my very first dinning table! I moved out at 16 and until a few month ago, I ate my meals in bed or on the floor... well actually I didn’t even have a couch to sit on until last year 😆 just a bed, desk and desk chair for a long time.
Bunny Lacy oh you are so ahead of me; I was literally living a geodesic dome made of cardboard and recycled pallets in the backyard of a pink house with an hand me down mattress when I was 22.
"I'm supposed to be an adult now, nobody really informed me." I'm fifteen, but somehow I FELT that? nobody informed me that i was supposed to age past like,,, eight. I just want to watch cartoons, dress up daily, and have nobody judge me for only talking about only two things that I am deeply in love with and NOTHING ELSE.
oh hooonnneeyyyyy!! it will only get worst the more you age so make the most of it 😄 personally I keep my sanity by colecting pokémon and take care of my pets 😎
Get used to that feeling friend, it never goes away. You'll be 60 still watching your childhood films and reminiscing about school as though it were yesterday.
Sad thing about cooking without exact measurements, is it will turn out to be the best you ever made. You will never be able to recreate it! Oh, and I am so much older than you. So, not all your viewers are young!
I totally agree with the "things i learned in my 70s" concept -- I would love to hear about how older folks learn and grow, and get some idea of what’s in store for me eventually.
I'm thirty seconds in and giggling off my bum. Thank you for the very real and very humorous take on a very annoying and stressful situation. Take care, loves!
Bless your heart (yeah I'm from Tennessee in the Southern States), girl, you always ALWAYS know how to make the best of a messy situation no matter what it may be...even if you're talking through gritted teeth AND look adorable and put together whilst doing so. I know the stress of quarantine is getting to us all at this point but I cannot possibly imagine dealing with the added chaos of trying to manage life in a building site that you can't literally escape entirely. Hats off to you to holding it together lol. As for bananas...I'm same exact way...rarely ever eat them without cooking them in something from southern banana pudding to muffins to bread. Whatever works but I don't like them "just raw" for whatever reason. Makes no real sense but there it is nevertheless. I was surprised to see it was still cold there. England has had some quite strange weather recently according to my other UK based friends. Thanks for the vid doll, I was having Jessica withdrawals and needed your little mini dose of sunshine. Please give my love to Miss Claudia (in the South here, everyone married or not is Miss+ First Name unless you're basically 100) and the furbabies as well. I hope the building progresses soon so you can get back to some form of normal life...of any kind. Hang in there lovely ladies
other channels: try to bake without a recipe as a dramatic challenge Jessica: casually bakes from memory even though she has memory loss I particularly enjoyed the use of the bowl for cutting, brilliant! 💗
I feel this so much, we had to have our kitchen demolished during our lockdown and are currently living with just apart of a kitchen and a huge hole into the basement where our sink and dishwasher use to be.
The first time I thought "wow I'm an adult now" was when my partner and I had dinner with our neighbours who have a child Buuut I'm not sure what adult even means to be honest, I do feel like we're all playing pretend like you said :D
I love the tour Jessica, you're so elegant in your descriptions of the center of the earth in your kitchen lol! You're wonderful, I hope it all comes together soon so you can have your house back! *HUGS* to both of you! I love your message at the end as well 🥰👍💖🐕👏🌟 I live in an apartment community that's mostly older people and a few disabled, and I have gals in their 70' saying "I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up!" hehe! Stay safe, don't fall into the center of the earth! 😂🤗
I was chatting with my mom the other day about the whole "when do you start to feel like an adult" and she laughed and said never. She's almost 60. So I suppose it's comforting to know we are all simply winging it.
construction on my apartment also started right when Quarantine started (they're still not done)!! They had to come inside and remove our front door to replace rotted wood, and broke off some of the interior and exterior walls. It's so stressful living through that, so I feel you Jessica!!
We have also been living in a baking site for the last 2 months! It’s been so hard to deal with since we can’t leave and it’s in the center of our house. At least our house will now be wheelchair accessible.They’re 95% done thankfully and we can move back in.
The fact that you're able to be so fabulous in the middle of a freezing building site, with chronic conditions, and while trying to bake is a real testament to you.
I would love a video where you explain what is going on with your house renos. Whinging about it encouraged. Jessica is a very pleasant, entertaining, whinger.
I just wanted to tell you that you are an absolute gift. That kitchen tour was so funny, and I love how you try to find positivity in your situation. Also, I would love a jacket like you've mentionned, and even if I'd still get a Lovely People one, a Because Gay version would be amazing.
Love that you can still bake even though the building works are going on 😀 Those muffins look really yummy! This video is so incredibly relatable for my 'bad exhaustion days'! Thank you for making this 💕💕💕
I'm case it wasn't very obvious that you're British, those sarcasm levels made it Crystal clear! Good luck with the rest of the renovation, hopefully everything goes smoothly and quickly so can have walls and all that again
I really enjoy you creating baking videos. Fun fact, I found a hack thanks to my other half about peeling bananas. Instead of peeling from the stem of the banana, you peel it from the root end (bottom)...I put this in here because I am having issues with B12 deficiency short term memory issues). Keep being the diva that you are.😎😎😎
Wow! I'm so impressed that you had the willpower to attempt baking im this situation AND it worked out fine! The muffins look super yummy. Plus, you made me smile. I hope the builders manage to work efficiently and quickly.
Hi Jessica. It helps to rotate the baked goods half-way through so things cook more evenly. Cooking in a construction zone IS ... well not the worst thing that is going on at the moment.
I'm proud of the work we've done here today too! Your cheery attitude made me feel so much better about my own day. I also love the birdsong in the kitchen!
I actually really wish more people would make vids like this. Just mucking about and working it out as they go aloing, not taking it too seriously. I loved this, is what I'm saying.
This video is the relatable content I need right now. The message of this video has been my life for 3 years. Still not got a full kitchen but I at least have cupboards and running water now.
Our kitchen reno overlapped Easter one year... my whole "kitchen" consisted of a kettle, electric frying pan, toaster, and a microwave. Boiled eggs in an electric kettle actually worked surprisingly well!
My mom used to do her canning and cooking on the fire pit because we lived in a shed. The lights were powered by a generator, and the toilet was a large bucket with a toilet seat on it. Luckily I was much too little for the job of emptying that... we'd also wash our hands in a bowl of lukewarm water. And the bathtub was a large metal bucket, and the water was heated up in pots, either on the stove, the oil furnace, or even the fire pit. The furniture was used as walls... then they bought an old mobile home and I got my own room... I was so excited, the first night, to sleep in my own room on a mattress on the floor. And before al that we lived in a bus. But not the tiny home versions you see on youtube. It was literally just a bus with everything but the drivers seat torn out.
We had our upstairs neighbor's fridge leak into our ceiling at the beginning of the pandemic and I haven't had a functional kitchen in 6 months. I am also living in a building site while insurance companies fight. It's about as delightful an experience as you are currently having. Making the pandemic sooooo much better.
You've done it now, Jess. I keep rolling the idea of a 60+ year old perspective channel like you suggested, (and definitely not the stuffy sort) so it shall become. I just keep looking at you, and Stevie, and Jaime, and Shaaba, and all my favorite Tubers and I don't have the lights, I don't have the pretty behind me, editing frankly scares the hell out of me, and all the things I know in my head that it took you a while to accumulate and learn. And then I go on watching you all and not doing my own. I'll let you know when I am ready.
If you're looking for more savoury baking that Claud will like, the National Trust has a cookbook of scones, and has an entire section on savoury scones.
Omg that jacket sounds like perfection, though I would love a more discreet embroidery than the full crest (like a rose or just the words lovely people or something), maybe one version with the crest and one more subtle?
Can relate. I've moved across the country by myself and got married, got a dog, bought a house...have two university degrees...still definitely not an adult.
Please do make that jacket. Your baking perseverance is most laudable! Also, I’m on my mid-30s and, this far, I’m finding that the idea of “becoming an adult” is a total myth.
Loved it! I really enjoyed the fun and freedom (the approach) of the video. It brought a smile to my face! However, I have lived in a building site in the past and hope things are finished as soon as possible.
about to be 32 in about two months, and i can honestly say the only times i really have ever felt like an adult are when something has gone awry and the kid-feeling surfaces of "who do i ask about this? do i go find someone for help?" only to be immediately followed by the realisation that, "oh, no, wait-- i'm it. i'm the adult in this situation, and i might actually have an idea of where to start with this problem? weird." on that note, baked banana things are kind of the best! well done winging it!
Jessica, you are literally the lovliest person I've ever watched on youtube and I love your content! Also, we are impressed by your baking resourcefulness. Marvelous, Marvelous
As a 51 yr old, I can definitely say that imposter syndrome is real. I've decided that this is one of those things that everyone experiences but no one ever admits to. Yay for social conventions!
I was really hoping she would have said "this just goes to show you that you can still make yummy things that warms your heart, even when everything around you is falling apart" bc that would have been my high-key mood and quote for 2020 (and life in general) 😂
Had my 21st birthday yesterday and totally freaked out that I still feel like a teenager! Im so happy to know thats something other people feel even if they’ve done some of the “markers” of adulthood (marriage, buying a house). Far less scary knowing everyone feels they are pretending to be an adult
So I cobbled together a tasty batch of tollhouse cookies in a friend’s parents’ caravan, though I only had a bowl, a spoon, and a pizza crisper pan thing. If I’d known I’d be baking, I would’ve brought supplies, but the sort of sprung it on me. Shockingly, they turned out AMAZING and did not seep down thru the holes in the pizza crisper thing.
I've never thought of slicing bananas on the side of the bowl!! #lifehack #bakinghack #adulthoodexistentialcrisis Thank you Jessica for the great video (as usual)!
I don't know if this is weird but I think this may be one of my favourite videos from you? I don't know if it's the current situation or the fact that it's wildly unscripted, but it almost felt like I was hanging out with a friend. Thank you so much for making it 😭

The bags of cement really tie a room together. You should consider keeping them
They give a nice pop of color
Jessica’s “this is fine” smile getting wider and wider as she takes us through her kitchen that is now a building site/location of a disaster film.
My passive/aggressive meter is off the charts...
😂😂
Quiet British rage.
🤣
Alternative title: Jessica bakes muffins while having an existential crisis about adulthood
No comments? Not anymore! I totally agree tho lmao 😂
Ah, My Dear, just wait. “Protect the elders.” “Protect the seniors.” Yes, we should. Oh, wait... They mean me (67). Still feel like I’m in my 30’s...
but thats good anyway as long as you're happy!
there there, my 70-year old mom is being careful for the sake of my disabled sister, not her own (this highly disturbs my other siblings, does it matter why she's being careful since she actually is being careful)
In the words of the 7 year old I babysit when finding out I was older than a teenager “so you’re an adult....but not really” she knows.

Hi Jessica. It helps to rotate the baked goods half-way through so things cook more evenly. Cooking in a construction zone IS ... well not the worst thing that is going on at the moment.

American measurements for baking, for when you lose your scales
Apart from your cups being 240mL"s (right?) and Ozzie cups being 250mL's I wholeheartedly agree! Sooo much easier.
I love you, you're so funny. I can't wait to see what it looks like after the construction is finished. I'm sorry your house is crazy right now. 🤗💖

Can relate. I've moved across the country by myself and got married, got a dog, bought a house...have two university degrees...still definitely not an adult.
This home tour brings me great joy. And so lovely to see you again!
Please do make that jacket. Your baking perseverance is most laudable! Also, I’m on my mid-30s and, this far, I’m finding that the idea of “becoming an adult” is a total myth.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ you always make my day and you’re one of the funniest people I know🤣
This is my favorite of your videos now. I love ramble with a challenge.
Loved it! I really enjoyed the fun and freedom (the approach) of the video. It brought a smile to my face! However, I have lived in a building site in the past and hope things are finished as soon as possible.
how can someone can be so classy, funny, ironic and talented at the same time?
Living for this energy
about to be 32 in about two months, and i can honestly say the only times i really have ever felt like an adult are when something has gone awry and the kid-feeling surfaces of "who do i ask about this? do i go find someone for help?" only to be immediately followed by the realisation that, "oh, no, wait-- i'm it. i'm the adult in this situation, and i might actually have an idea of where to start with this problem? weird." on that note, baked banana things are kind of the best! well done winging it!
Jessica,no matter what craziness happens around you,you’re still absolutely fabulous. 😘
That banana slicing hack was so funny yet I can see myself doing the same! Thanks for the tip. 😀
Jessica, you are literally the lovliest person I've ever watched on youtube and I love your content!
Also, we are impressed by your baking resourcefulness. Marvelous, Marvelous
Oh you are just lovely. So nice to see another EDS lady doing her thing xx
As a 51 yr old, I can definitely say that imposter syndrome is real. I've decided that this is one of those things that everyone experiences but no one ever admits to. Yay for social conventions!
I was really hoping she would have said "this just goes to show you that you can still make yummy things that warms your heart, even when everything around you is falling apart" bc that would have been my high-key mood and quote for 2020 (and life in general) 😂
Had my 21st birthday yesterday and totally freaked out that I still feel like a teenager! Im so happy to know thats something other people feel even if they’ve done some of the “markers” of adulthood (marriage, buying a house). Far less scary knowing everyone feels they are pretending to be an adult
Wow. What you went through to create content this week. Great video and great job! Thank you!
This is the best video to come out of 2020 so far
So I cobbled together a tasty batch of tollhouse cookies in a friend’s parents’ caravan, though I only had a bowl, a spoon, and a pizza crisper pan thing. If I’d known I’d be baking, I would’ve brought supplies, but the sort of sprung it on me. Shockingly, they turned out AMAZING and did not seep down thru the holes in the pizza crisper thing.
She makes me smile so much I’m
Good luck for the end of your building work ! I'm sure it'll be so nice !
*bites into a muffin* ARRRRGH, THAT IS ROCK HARD!....Jess - "oh, yeah, i got a bit confused twixt the flour and the cement, its about a 50/50 mix"
This is a special kind of baking vlog and I loved it thank you
Jessica you make me so happy. Thank you xxx
I've never thought of slicing bananas on the side of the bowl!! #lifehack #bakinghack #adulthoodexistentialcrisis Thank you Jessica for the great video (as usual)!
the ending is priceless.
I don't know if this is weird but I think this may be one of my favourite videos from you? I don't know if it's the current situation or the fact that it's wildly unscripted, but it almost felt like I was hanging out with a friend. Thank you so much for making it 😭
Thank you for keeping it real. Love to you from California.
