My vet asked me how our 10 yr old puppy had such great teeth.
He flosses.
Vet said "you floss him?"
No, he does it himself.
Toy made of cotton rope has a tail.
He shredded the tail, stands on the toy and pulls the strands through his teeth.
Smart Dog 🐕

I completely agree with that.

U.S.A. HHS "Doctor" R. F. K. Jr. has stated that Infectious Diseases only effect weak and less desirable humans.
He said herd Immunity is best established by survivors.
If the folks who believe that shit refuse to vaccinate, we don’t need their sorry brain dead members taking up hospital space.

And then there was the Italian Pastry Chef who became a Jedi Master.

His Jedi name: Obi-wan Cannoli

If it’s the starter itself (not the dough) that’s being slow, it’s either stale flour, chlorine in the water or low room temperature.

I always use filtered (not bottled) water.

My freshly fed starter goes on a warming plate @ 85 F and usually blooms in 4-5 hours.

I was also interested in making homemade cannoli, but wasn’t sure how to roll the shells.
Found an article on the web that said the PERFECT way to make consistently thin cannoli dough was the pasta machine.
Makes sense to me ✅

I used my gnocchi boards for that. My board set has eight different patterns. Sorry for the confusion 🤔

My Atlas isn’t as large, but it still does nicely.

If you make your own pasta at home, no matter what shape or size, fresh pasta cooks very quickly.

I LOVE my Atlas pasta machine and my gnocchi boards ✅

One winter night in Wisconsin I fired up my grill on a screen porch. Temp was -10 F so I wore my snowmobile suit. The fire department showed up. My neighbor had called them that my porch was on fire. They saw the grill and were not amused, but steaks were yummy ✅

I’m confused.

Should we draw the line with pencils, crayons or chalk?

Do we permanently commit ourselves by using ink or markers?

I prefer chalk. That way I can change my mind by simply allowing the rain to wash it all away.

It wasn’t much better here in central Florida. Got my puppy a warm snuggle pillow. He’s toasty.

Some republicans consider ASL to be totally WOKE and TOTALLY IRRELEVANT. Maybe the MAGA are just "Brain Deaf".

I believe that they need to "see the sign" before Democracy collapses 😵

Agreed. The act of baking predates the geopolitical morons. My loaf totally agrees with you ✅
