Ieyasu-kun promotes Aichi Prefecture's historical spots. He wears golden armour, but he likes peace. He is slow and steady but occasionally gets excited when something good happens.

Do you ever think to yourself “how on earth did I become conversant in this subject to the extent you would ask *me* for advice on it?”? (Note I am not talking about bread, cake, sandwiches, houseplants, or creating a shrine to The Incredible Hulk I know how I became conversant in those subjects)

Losing my mind while doing some research for my creature design lecture that the closest relative to the maned wolf is the bush dog. Like there has gotta be a fable where the maned wolf took all the leggie from its cousin

IDK David I am not the person to ask because either I make all my bread or during multiple heatwaves and so on when baking is a hellish proposition I eat those supermarket bagels

Look I know there are more important things but $60 bread crosses a line

I appreciate the ancients didn’t have Gü ramekins but hey I do

Look man also I sprout my own rye grains and malt them for this recipe I am not bringing just a basic bread to this loaf fight

Dan Barrett @dasbarrett.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
I appreciate it’s an ancient recipe so maybe IDK it imparts some ancient wisdom from beyond the grave or similar. And also I am not an acclaimed baker people need to get paid. But the markup for a staple like this how can you justify?

Dan Barrett @dasbarrett.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
My view is $60 rye bread is not going to be 20x better than a loaf I could make myself, way more than double the cost of ingredients, and sell for £3. And also loss-leader bread full of sugar and no nutritional value is an equally bad proposition. Uh, everyone deserves good bread is that ok?

I’m all for it. But also surprised there’s folks making pedal of the 414 preamp despite not using it for 5 years it is probably still my most used and studiously looked after music thing but it was always about workflow to end result rather than sound

Being a carpenter for 30 years has made me superb at sharpening things. All Airbnb knife drawers are an abomination, so I take a diamond stone on holiday. To the people after us who experience that thing where it's as though a tomato is weirdly made of nothing: you're welcome.

Pretty sure a fox came into my house in dead of night and stole one of my Birkenstock sandals for a tasty* treat Why oh why could this fox not have stolen both sandals as uncertainty about whether the other sandal is actually still in the house somewhere prevents me from buying a new pair *YMMV
