Wiring the VFD is tricky, due to: 1) me never having done something like this, 2) vague instructions and 3) an awkward design for routing wires. If at first you don't succeed...ignore low self-esteem types who claim electrical know-how from birth. #knifemaking #diy #f**kknowitallfools

Bread from this morning's bake session. I'm tired. However, I like that I use my starter each week and also that we raise money for the Houston Cares Animal rescue. #sourdoughbread #houstoncaresanimalrescue

Made a Detroit-style pizza (but didn't have a rectangular metal pan) this morning because the oven was hot from today's bread-baking. And...why not? #breadbaking

Thought I'd get a picture of what welding looks like from inside the hood...but didn't realize the camera lens wasn't pointed at the window.

Very nice ears today. Read an article that recommends starting your bread dough in a COLD oven - skip the preheat. I've always been taught that a good oven "spring" depends on a very hot oven. I've never tried the cold oven method and, frankly, am hesitant to do so. #sourdoughbaking #breadbaking

Beetroot powder sourdough bread. 75% hydration. Beetroot is 5% of the total flour weight. Crushed vitamin C = 2000 mg for 3 lbs of dough, or 667g per lb of dough. Next time I'll increase hydration to 77 or 78%. #sourdoughbaking #breadbaking

Cross section of the mixed ube sourdough loaf. I'm done with the ube experiments. Conclusion: not much distinctive ube flavor; it's an overrated bread variety. #sourdoughbaking #breadbaking

Cooler temperatures means less energy consumed and more energy produced. If you're politically against renewable energy that indicates that you are politically stupid (and also a right wing dolt). #solarenergy #renewableenergy #fdt #fthegop

One of the persons who bought bagels from me this week told me that they are "insanely delicious." While I do think my bagels are good, the inclusion of a fried egg and bacon surely skews one's gustatory perspective! #sourdoughbaking #homemadebagels

The finished ube sesame sourdough loaf. The use of purple yam is new for me, as is increasing the overnight fermentation time to 13 hours. I'm guessing that in order to get a deep purple color you'll have to use food coloring. #sourdoughbaking #breadbaking

This week's loaves will be ube (purple yam) and sesame. With bread baking, math is a good friend. Thank you, baker's percentage! #sourdoughbaking #breadbaking

The difference between Joe Biden and the current doofus...the difference between the LEFT and the insane right:
LEFT = government for ALL
right = government for the mindless servants
Biden never tried to quash fox, oan, newsmax and all those other crazy media outlets. #FDT
