The Mighty Quinn - Looking for a local ANTIFA unit to join

When they finally make a movie about this administration and its corruption they'll have to leave so many things out to make it even remotely believable.

Thoughts are with you and your friend. My wife had a stroke almost three years ago. It's been difficult. 😢

Gotta wonder what Iran did to piss off Putin that he had to unleash the American dogs on them.

Lovejoy was a great series.

Real and very enjoyable movie.

I see posts like this a lot. I don't get how they can come out looking like this from a cold start.

It's Dark Seeded Sourdough Rye time again.

I also don't get the starting with a cold DO. I use primarily cast iron DOs that take 30+ minutes to get to 450, how is that supposed to do the job?

I've had a good luck with open bake on my steel, but it's usually the odd sizes or if I'm doing multiple loaves & don't want to crowd the oven with DOs. When I'm doing smaller bread bowls I always use the steel. I've got a gas stove so I can steam the whole oven for the first part of the bake.

I try to keep my DO as small as I can. (I have multiple sizes and shapes) If it's too big steam doesn't build up with the lid on as much as it should. Without it, oven spring will be affected.

Thank you for this. ❤️

Cats horsing around

Very difficult to keep animal hairs at bay. I used to have multiple cats and even though it's been years since they're gone I still spot them.

Indeed.

At the moment it's strictly home-baked breads. I can do anywhere from a few loaves a week to a couple of dozen which is why I needed the refrigerator system I use. I've got a bit of a following, especially for my NYC Sourdough bagels and Honey whole wheat sandwich rolls and sub rolls.

So far I've only kept white starter since I primarily do variations of basic Sourdough. I do have some regular customers that are into ryes but I'm not sold on the benefits of separate starters yet. The system I use practically eliminates discard so I have to actively make discard when I need it.

Mine is several years old, sort of. I actually keep multiple starters in small preserve jars. Anywhere from 4 or 5, to as many as a dozen. Each has around 100g, enough for a loaf and to replace itself. They're dated and refrigerated. The system has been working really well for me

There are questionable Sourdough groups on FB. One that attacked me because I suggested that purchasing a starter wasn't sacrilegious. Some people spend months trying to establish a starter unsuccessfully. Many give up. We're supposed to be supportive. Buying a starter let's you get baking.

My go-to gal for Sourdough is Emilie Raffa and her website is ”theclevercarrot.com” Her book ”Artisan Sourdough Made Simple” is my bible. She's the one who recommended the white whole wheat.

Locally I can get it at Wegmans. But I've seen it at other stores as well. You should be able to keep the whole wheat at 50g and maybe do 250 white bread flour and 200 white wheat. I've had good luck with that ratio.

Have you tried using "White Whole Wheat"? I use it in most of my rye or wheat recipes. I've mixed it up to 50/50 with bread flour with great success.

I hate Smith. I think he's a pompous jackass. I immediately change the channel or feed if he shows up on my screen. He's just the type that thinks they would be a good politician.

Are you using bread flour mixed with whole wheat flour here?

You need very little. Too much and it gets all over the place. Also works best when mixed with rice flour before you apply it.

Thank you! I made my cuts too close to the bottom. And I was a little too heavy and uneven with the color. Also need to figure out what to do about a stem, but for a initial attempt, I'm pleased with it.

shamrock Sourdough loaf

First attempt at a shamrock Sourdough loaf. Not bad. I have a good idea of what changes to make for next time. #Sourdough #BillsMafia #GoBills

I drive by this place regularly. Always wondered what it looked like inside. Good location in Buffalo, but zero parking makes it a difficult prospect for business use.

I've never cared for Newsom. He's too slick by far and his monopolizing the news cycle by being ”Judy” to Trump's ”Punch” is not entertaining nor is it politically strategic. Anyone who has baggage like Kimberly Guilfoyle as an ex can't afford to even pretend to be as shallow as Donald.

Owning the Dems by admitting Trump is a pedophile is certainly a different tactic. #NotMyPresident
