Hasn’t happened enough to say with certainty, but if I had to guess, I’d say you’re probably right

Bad news, actually, the insides are ugly

The post before this one was without a recipe

In fairness, though, I have this one largely memorized, so anytime I don’t use a recipe it’s more like, “A jazz rendition of the Tartine country loaf”

Literally none. I tend to score my loaves straight down the middle, at a 90° angle, which gives the best oven spring without a massive ear

I mean, that being said, once you get a good guy feeling for the process you can improv pretty well

But as a general rule I 100% agree

Night before: mix 1tbsp leaven, 200g warm water, 200g 50/50 all purpose and whole wheat

Morning: 700g 80° water, 200g leaven, 900g AP, 100g WW, mix, rest 25-40min

Add 21g salt dissolved in 50g water

Bulk ferment 3-4 hours, 2-3 folds in the first 60-90 minutes (can take longer, this recipe moves slowly)

After BF, divide and shape into rounds for 20-30min bench rest

Shape into loaves and rise at room temp for 3-4 hours, or 12-18 in the fridge

Not really, I’ve used the store brand all purpose, but this one is exclusively king arthur bread and whole wheat, since I’m doing a side-by-side comparison with a buddy to diagnose any issues with his technique

Just checked it out, I do NOT understand that place at all lol

Considering how utterly willy-nilly i was with this batch, it turned out FAR better than it had any right to.

Currently using bread to ingratiate myself with (to?) the neighbors

Yeahhhh, he’s bumbling around these days

Because I was really excited and my apartment sucks, it is what it is

I can’t waaaaiiiit, no i can’t wait

I’m telling you, spend a few days actually looking for and actually SEEING moss, it’ll blow your mind

There is a strip of grass beside the driveway to my complex’s parking structure with one tree in it.

That tree and the surrounding grass has at LEAST five species of moss living on it, so I just slow down on my walk to the car and appreciate those diverse, weird little plants

Ah HA, you’ve fallen for the same trap i did. The veins in leaves are actually described as “vein-like” and are purely structural. Likewise, the stems are structural, mosses are non-vascular

I’m really salty because it mirrored my thoughts about the research almost exactly, but I’m loathe to give attaboys to it

I mean, I value the knowledge as well as the job prospects

But also, take it easy, i didn’t personally insult you

I mean, it’s a matter of perspective, i guess.

I did a final assignment that was a research proposal, mine was the assessment of various methods of increasing periphyton biomass (clearing tree cover over rivers and introducing fertilizers to the water) in order to dilute mercury bioaccumulation in top river predators like trout and other fish people eat

There’s a lot of tangentially related research, but not a ton done on the river/riparian food webs in the GSMNP specifically and possible mitigation strategies for mercury bioaccumulation.

OBVIOUSLY my proposal isn’t realistic. No one on earth is gonna be like “yeah sure, go ahead and chop down all the trees over this river and dump chemicals in that one, on the off chance it allows jimbob to give trout to his pregnant wife all year round”
