Sometimes you need to hold a lot of books with little regard to organization (not that you couldn't develop a system). This shelf does that. It seems pretty sturdy, too. You can cover those metal bits with included stickers. Sound is on, and you can hear that is quiet yowos.com?fbclid=IwT01...

We celebrated our feast of the Autumnal Equinox early: 3 whole chickens (two Dutch oven roasted, one fried), sourdough rolls, pumpkin pie, yellow squash, mashed potatoes, apple cider. Because Fall is the best season! Dutch oven chicken: youtu.be/66NUdOSpZ-M?...

Lanning's bratwurst simmered in Budweiser, butter, and sautéed yellow onion, then finished on the grill. I toasted all but one bun just to try one right out of the bag. That was a mistake. Needed toasted. Cast iron. Dutch oven. Served with kraut (not pickled cabbage), the onions + Stadium Mustard

Smokai! I got the smallest smoke generator they had, and it works! You pour in your wood chips or pellets of choice, plug into an outlet, and use a lighter at the two holes on the side until it catches and smokes. smokai.com/en-us

It is important to have serious feast for questing. Meatball calzones: We made sauce and meatballs using Gina's recipe (Buon-a-Petitti, YouTube) my sourdough breadcrumbs and sourdough pizza crust at 56% hydration.
Two meatball calzones with wonderful leopard spotting sit on parchment paper. A three-shelfed food warmer holds cheese bread at the top, followed by two meatball calzones in the middle, and one more at the bottom. The cheese bread is just my sourdough pizza dough with string cheese inside, cut into long strips, and painted with garlic olive oil.

I have been getting some rise out of this recently. Rather than fermenting for time, I've been home so I can watch it and let it ferment until it's right. Tall boule!
A tall boule of sourdough bread sits on a wooden cutting board next to a tub of butter for scale. This is 12.5oz water,.75oz k salt, 4oz starter (100% hydration whole ground wheat berries), 1lb 4oz bread flour. Preheat Dutch oven with lid on for 1hr at 500 degrees F, put in boule and score, put lid on and back in oven, turning it down to 425 degrees F for 30min-32min with lid on, and then another 15min with lid off, still at 425 degrees F. Let it rest at least 1hr before serving.

Cast iron, Dutch oven. I settled on 300 degrees F for this chuck roast for about 5 hours, adding carrots and mushrooms for about 1-2 hours because they didn't all get soft. I used Zoup bone broth for the juice with various seasonings. Sourdough on the side, of course. Mashed potatoes, too!
Pot roast dinner done in a cast iron Dutch oven, or "pot." Hence, I believe we get the name of the dish! Red square plate, flower table cloth, brown cow meat, white, fluffy mashed potatoes, brown bone broth, orange roasted carrots, brown roasted mushrooms, white sourdough sliced bread with bright yellow butter on top

I was using bread flour on the outside of the dough while I stretched it, but i used semolina flour on the outside this time. Wonderful. It gave the pizza little bumps all over it, enhancing more of the texture than flavor. 350g water 15g salt 15g olive oil 100g sourdough starter 500g bread flour

My concern w/ AI in schools: First, we need to get people comfortable with accepting what AI tells them as the truth or close enough. Then, we can charge corporations and gov't money to decide what words are displayed when you ask AI a question. Finally, we can have all the monies!

The Masterbuilt turkey fryer works just fine for chicken wings, too! I rubbed these in black pepper, k salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder substitute, cayenne pepper, baking powder, then fried. The seasoning pretty much stayed on! Made a sauce of butter, dis white vinegar, and the same seasonings!
Chicken wings: coated with smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, baking powder, low fodmap garlic powder, Cayenne pepper, then deep fried. Tossed around in a sauce of butter, distilled white vinegar, and the same seasonings. I was surprised that the seasoning survived the deep fryer, but it did. Crazy!

The masterbuilt turkey fryer honestly works. Indoor use is fine. That's a 14lbs bird in peanut oil. It took maybe 1.5hrs or something. It was fine. The white meat was not dry. I also used it for French fries. It worked well!

F-ing double ear infection that won't go away, despite antibiotics, so I made myself some comfort food. Mom Wilson's Canadian-style bacon, my sourdough toast, those blue eggs from the store (because they remind me of my old chickens' eggs) and French fries from peanut oil.

Wrath of the Righteous is wrapping up! Here is the blog: darkjusticepresentswrathoftherighteous.obsidianportal.com
In the tower of Threshold, we found 1/3 of the cabal that had opened the portal to the Abyss so long ago: a wizard who had tried to stop Areelu once he fully understood the what the ritual would do. Areelu had turned this man into some flesh-warped creature, something akin to a giant slug. I took time to listen to his pitiful pleas despite the locust-born mages attacking us. With my Angelic True Speech, I understood that this deformed wizard wished for death, so I had Fighter oblige.

Sourdough everything bagels 🥯! When I found out that Salt 'n Sanity had a low fodmap everything bagel seasoning, I had to try it. For 12 behgs, 450g water, 20g kosher salt, 40g sugar, 200g starter, 900g bread flour
Living with irritable bowel syndrome sucks, but it was FAR worse before the VA hospital found and put me on the low FODMAP diet. Sadly, the diet calls for the elimination or moderation of many plants (some so moderated that you may as well not buy it anymore). Luckily for me, I found that I tolerate sourdough well enough (wish I found it sooner, like a lot sooner), and many others who are prescribed this diet started businesses to recreate some of the plant-based foods we lostAfter mixing the ingredients thoroughly, let the dough rise. Then, you can put it in the fridge or move on to cutting into 12 pieces and shaping into hoops. Let the hoops rise on parchment paper so that you can peel them off. Boil them in water with barley malt, one minute per side. Put the wet bagels on parchment paper-lined sheet panPreheat oven to 450f. Top your wet bagels. Oven them for about 20min or so. If they burn too much on the bottom, they could stick to the parchment paper. You could try corn dust. Wait maybe an hour to let the crumb set before slicing. Slice and freeze in a container or freezer bag. Toast them from frozen when you want one.
