Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Self-rising flour has baking powder and salt added, so you'll want to cut back on both of those.
Here's a recipe for self-rising flour, so I suppose you could reverse engineer that to figure out how much baking powder to leave out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ION if I posted, "Just eat a muffin, whitey!" in Ta-Nehisi Coates' comments thread, nobody would get it. [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I did a day's work! And I have so much to do this week...I'm even thinking of going in early tomorrow. After I surf the web for document templates tonight.
Who am I?

I worked, yes I did.
I walked out of the house to go to the pool to find my neighbor laying prone in his walk as his daughter traced him in chalk. He noted that they'd repointed some brickwork on my house and asked when I had that done. "Oh, the seller did that." "Huh. I never noticed before." "Well, it's not as if you have that perspective too often..." "Oh! True."
I dunno, we were laughing pretty hard by the end of the conversation. It's just funny to be talking to someone lying on the sidewalk, upside down.
I came home to hopscotch chalked on my front walk courtesy of the kidlet. Made me grin.
