Trying to live lightly on the planet we all call home. T1D. Lifelong mongoose. Angry as hell since 11/6/2024. Whatever the question is, the answer is almost always more tea.

Oops. Sorry…I’ve infected a number of family members and now I’m spreading the 5-minute bread virus on the Interwebs.

I feel that! We all gotta do what works best for us.
I’ve done sourdough, but I keep coming back to this method. No planning ahead. No fuss. Long fermentation that keeps my tummy happy.

Anti is the opposite of Pro, yes?

Anti = Against something

Pro = For something

Yes? We’re all in agreement that’s how words work, right?

Ok, so…

What is the opposite of “Anti-Fascist” or “Antifa”?

And so, if you’re trying to stop “Antifa”, then that means you are FOR helping “FA!”

Bread is good. I do the 5-minute artisan thing, so I always have dough in the fridge ready to go.

Wrote this short missive to my completely unhelpful rep. Feel free to do the same. (Not that he will read it, but it made me feel better.)

When the world is dark (and it is), I look for the sparks. A pot of tea. A loaf of homemade bread going into the oven. Starting dinner in the morning, so I don't have to worry about it later. An example of unsolicited kindness from a coworker. Sparks make light. Don't let them steal your light.

Sen. Shaheen: 4 million people will lose their health insurance if we don't address the tax credit, and 24 million will see their costs rise dramatically. We found out yesterday that 270,000 veterans will be affected. 76% of people in who benefit from those credits are in states Trump won

Written by a friend of a friend (because I really do know some wonderful people), this is deserving of amplification. medium.com/@mytkolli.li...

Because mushrooms = scary death in so many people’s minds. Sigh. Just be logical, people, and you’ll be fine.

So good in stir fry and hot and sour soup! I’m very much a beginner mushroom hunter, so I stick to ones that have no scary lookalikes.

Mmmm, porcinis. Yum. Too dry here yet for mushrooms. Once the rain comes in, the wood ears will call.

Welcome to the Dark Side—we have cookies. I observe two seasons: gardening/preserving season and fiber arts season. I have a bunch of floof from my former Angora bunny that I’ll be processing this winter.

I’ve heard that first shearing for a lamb can be a bit of a rodeo. I’ll be finding out for myself next year, and I can hardly wait.

Hand spinners will buy either; some prefer it one way, some another. Spinning “in the grease” is still a thing! You can get more for washed, but it may not be enough to pay you for the time it will take to wash it.

Maybe; depends on how deeply it’s embedded.

Oh, that will go over very well! Excited for you. I just got a spotted Jacob fleece from a friend and I’m just waiting for some scour to come in to get it washed up and prepped.

Etsy is a possibility, but you might try Ravelry first. If you still do the Book of Faces, the Raw Wool for Sale group will snap that gorgeousness up quickly.

Neither is a dealbreaker, though a significant break will definitely reduce the price.

When describing it, make sure to say if you’ve skirted. Skirted usually brings a higher price, so it’s often worth doing. The discards make great mulch!
