Realizing just how dehydrated I am. Itโ€™s been a rough day (week, year ๐Ÿ˜…). Gotta remember to take care of myself. ๐Ÿšฐ Have you hydrated?

Not at all! I always enjoy hearing bread-making tips. Thank you! It's been so much fun learning about different approaches. I recently made sourdough starter from scratch and plan on experimenting more there as well. Might be good for the overnight proofing for what you've shared with me here. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Thanks! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I've been making this bread since about August of last year. Dutch oven, no knead, same day proof/bake. It's quick, easy, and pretty excellent IMO. Here's the recipe and a look at the crumb on this particular loaf. bsky.app/profile/nico...

Absolutely valid concern. And like you, I hope it's the end of them as we know it. The statement I've linked here gives me hope in the case it's control / a buy out they want: bsky.app/profile/robj...

Who knew I'd be rallying so hard for the mouse. Two monsters fighting it out, but I'll happily deal with Mickey if he's the one setting precedent for what we've all been fighting so hard for. Just a shame it takes billions to be heard, or make any type of change, in this country.๐Ÿ˜‘

Human creativity is invaluable. The time I've spent vigilantly defending and proving that, throughout my career (a lot lately), is done. When you realize what you're fighting for is lost in the definitions set by those who have zero experience, you are freed from the burden. It's just not worth it.๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

My value is in my humanity, experience, knowledge, and skill. I'm not competing with trends or "the next best thing." I don't need to because what I offer isn't comparable to passing fads we're told "we need to adopt or be left behind." I won't entertain the fear. It's a waste of everyone's time.

โ€ฆI mean, it depends. If youโ€™re a child selling cookies, Iโ€™m game. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But otherwise? Nah.

Love how autocorrect changed โ€œgaramโ€ to โ€œcaramelโ€ in the alt text. What?! That would be interesting, eh? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Oh, thank you for the consideration! That's so incredibly nice of you. And thank you for the wood suggestion. ๐Ÿ™Œ I'll keep that in mind as I do my search.
