Thanks! 😊

Never heard it called that! I like it!

Yeah actually! I did the thing with the 30 degree angle (hold the blade 30 degrees up from the surface the dough is sitting on, rather than straight up), slightly but not too far off center. And I sliced over the same line a few times to make it deep enough.

Thanks! 😊

There it is!

Thanks! I’ve been working on them. Next is getting a vertical ear. Still haven’t managed that.

The ear on the right is from scoring it, in the left is unintentional.

That makes sense. And thanks! I have it set as a shortcut on my phone any time I have an exclamation point next to a question mark. It’s not hard to set up on an iPhone, I’m guessing it’s not hard on android either. (Although I think I did have to get a keyboard that had the actual interrobang symbol in it. But also not so hard to find 🤷🏻‍♀️). I am trying to make it a thing. I don’t think it’s working. But I think I got one person at least to do it. So that’s awesome. You should totally do it! 😬

I should write a guide for how to do it and post it somewhere.

Really‽ I’m so impressed. You must be some kind of superhero.

The ability to know if a fruit is going to taste good just by holding it. Perhaps being able to experience the taste of it (when it ripens) by holding it. Perhaps also being able to tell peak ripeness. But that may be op. I’d settle for the first part.

Why in American recipes specifically?

I guess, I mean there could be value in having an outsider in office, just not him. But I don’t know. It is a little sketch.

Oh I didn’t know that! Good call.

That’s what they all said about Trump though too. “Obviously he would never get elected”.

That’s fantastic. Thank you. Where did you get the quotation?

I wonder if he was just trying to keep his customers satisfied.

Good call. Maybe I’ll try that! I do like doing the cold ferment.

Lol maybe I’ll do that. I‘ll see how it comes out with whole wheat and maybe a second round I’ll try rye or pumpernickel. We’re only two people so making two loaves at once is a little much for us to eat.

Thanks! That makes sense.

I wish, but my spouse has a pretty sensitive palate. Sigh.
