it always blows my mind when these people act like “the left just calls everyone nazis” these days and it’s like no. we’re calling nazis nazis! there just happens to be a lot of them in and around the government these days!

More history from this Nazi adulated by the Trump team. These are explicit, proud Nazis who scream and cry and call every referee they can find when you quote their Nazism back to them.

Multiple tweets from Nazi Jack Posobiec in 2016 making "jokes" involving the Nazi code "1488."

Seconded! I’ve tried a bunch of focaccia recipes, and this one is my favorite, I’ve made it a bunch of times now.

The King Arthur catalog products are so ridiculous!! But the flour is good, and they put a ton of resources and care into helping people bake. They staff a hotline for bakers! They seem like a solid, ethical company.

If you want to go a totally different direction, this recipe got me started on ciabatta. I make it into 8 rolls, but I’d start by following what he does: youtu.be/jA95tUK2RZU?...

I like this recipe better for sandwiches, but I shape it in a round and bake it in a hot Dutch oven. www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/fren...

This recipe is similar to what you made, but includes kneading and shaping. It’s a good, basic sandwich bread recipe, and it has helpful visuals: www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/back...

Oh! And do you have a Dutch oven?

What flours do you have? Are you up for buying a flour you don’t have?

Humu Trott @humuhumu.com · 10h

My guess is that the tang you noticed is because the recipe you were using is meant for making bread quickly, so it uses a lot of yeast. Most recipes rise slower, using a smaller amount of yeast, and you get better flavor. Are you up for a slower recipe?

I’m on it! What are your priorities? Are you up for a recipe with kneading? Do you want to try for sandwich bread, or something else?

Humu Trott @humuhumu.com · 11h

It’s a start! Would you be interested in some help finding a recipe closer to what you want to make?

You have bread! Congratulations! It’s all up from here, pun intended.

I bet the po-boy loaf is closer than you think! Pantry bugs are no joke, I have to fight them here, too. Bigger Ziplocs are great if you’re tight on kitchen space, but for ease of use I’m a sucker for the OXO Pop containers. I use them for flours, sugar, salts, and now… MSG!

If I can help make it A Thing by being a sounding board, don’t hesitate to chirp at me! I can’t help with sourdough, though, I’ve found I don’t personally like the stuff. (Also, big Ziploc bags around your flour bags are fine, that’s all I use half the time.)

Re: the water, it’ll be fine. The ratio in bread recipes is super flexible; it may not wind up having the texture you want for sandwiches, but it’ll still be great bread.

You’re spot on that the right way to get a handle on making bread is to just dive in & do it, goofing it up along the way.

The internet is bad at internet these days.

I have to get on with my day, but maybe if you do the same and dig further, you could find the manufacturer, or a less expensive novelty branded version that you like.

Humu Trott @humuhumu.com · 23h

I found a pic of the back that has the ingredients list, and did a search on the exact ingredients (INGREDIENTS: SORBITOL, MAGNESIUM STEARATE, PEPPERMINT OIL, ACESULFAME POTASSIUM) to see if I could identify a private label manufacturer. Found a bunch of other novelty mints that appear to match. 1/2

they don’t want you to know how they treat prisoners because it will grieve you to know it, which is natural and human, and because of your normal human reaction you will want the system changed. It’s important to them that your natural aversion to how the system works not be engaged.

On the left: a photo of an animatronic at the La Brea Tar Pits (the the tar tar pits), of a saber-toothed cat attacking a giant sloth.

On the right: a colored pencil drawing I did on black paper of the same scene, only the cat is wearing a Viking helmet and throwing horns with one paw, and the sloth is shredding on a purple zebra print electric guitar.
