The recipe I use from Gold Medal says to use water 120-130. Your yeast is mixed in with some flour, salt and sugar. Then you add the water and combine. Then after a couple minutes you add more flour until your dough forms. I haven't had a problem with it rising.
I haven't seen bread flour at my grocery store for the last two weeks. Fortunately I picked up a couple bags before things got crazy.
Well removing the old appliances from the 60s turned into tearing out all the cabinets and then tearing out a bunch of drywall.
Caught for my daughter. Emergency pitcher last year but looking like she may be #1 this year. Threw a stinking drop on me that hit one ankle and ricocheted into my other. So now I have two bad ones
Probably a good time to not break anything, no? I'm not sure when a good time would be to break something, but this 'aint it.
Could have been a worse bounce. Had once bounce off the boys about 10 yeard ago when I was catching my cousin at his house. Wasnt overly pleasant
Worst i saw was a guy get hit in the nuts after a perfect ricochet off an L screen.
Still not in stock for us and I first asked dh to grab some the 15th. We have an open jar but figured more on hand would begood and maybe I'd make some since we were home. Now I gotta save the yeast for pizza dough this weekend
The car lease/buying argument was one of the more head scratching hills to die on in that thread.
Hmmmm that looks simple and fast. We have whole milk now with kiddo .....not sure about corn meal. Dh really likes it but we've never made it, just the corn casserole kinda dish. Does Lew just use those little boxes of cornmeal? May have to try this.
My recipe has always been use lukewarm water, not hot, put in with yeast and bit of sugar, let sit for 10. Pretty sure that's just what proofing the yeast is.
We buy a bag of it - about the size of a 5lb sack of sugar. This recipe makes a cornbread that is more moist than the box cornbread mixes. It's addictive.
Yes, that's proofing the yeast. I suppose the way I'm doing it uses warmer water because the yeast is mixed in with some of the flour.
Two random thoughts:
1) I wish my local mexican joint sold to-go margaritas in something smaller than a half gallon container. That's a lot of margarita for a) straight margarita with no ice, b) one person to drink by themselves (especially when I don't drink that much).
2) Got into a debate at work on Friday if the price we got for hand sanitizer was price gouging. It was $30/gallon but it came in 300 gallon totes.

After some quick math that's like 17 margaritas. If there's no ice I wonder how long that would last in the fridge. I would think it would last a while being that it is mainly liquor and lime juice.
