@McBinary Just finished When the Air Hits Your Brain by Frank Vertosick. Fascinating although tough to read in places. Content Warning: death, including child death

@inkican I suspect many of them decide to return to school for degrees / certifications?

What, no bread-makers yet?

• Zojirushi Bread machine (I use it for the dough cycle. Don't at me.)
• Electronic scale. It can be a cheap OXO, but you need one.
• Banneton and liners
  *Lame (honestly, my favorite is the cheapo Breadtopia one with the plastic handle--much better than the walnut-handled one my mom had)
• More Emile Henry ceramic bakers than I'm willing to admit. Crown rolls, anyone?

I haven't ventured into sourdough but I'm teetering on the edge. Looking at the King Arthur crocks.

When you are wrapping items in paper, don't wrap it tightly and smoothly! You want to crumple the paper up around the item. The crumpling is what protects it; a piece of newspaper wrapped flat and tight around a glass doesn't protect it from bumps and shocks.
