Hand Basket

My current audiobook is making me feel like an immature child and it is giving me the giggles.

I am listening to Recursion by Blake Crouch. I’m about 2/3 of the way through and I am really digging it. I keep thinking I know where it’s going and then it curves off to someplace totally unexpected. That’s not what this post is about though.

This post is about how I am a nine year old goofball. One of the characters is named Helena. Every time one of the two readers says the character’s name I insert the words hand basket immediately after it.

Helena (hand basket) said hello.

Helena (hand basket) did something.

Every time I do it I feel like I am going to giggle. What a goof. Sometimes I think that I am going to stop it and I do… briefly. I stop inserting hand basket but instead I insert the word bucket.

Helena (bucket) walked down the hall.

Helena (bucket) opened the door.

Yeah, I am a child. A goofy, lame, immature child.

Here's the latest loaf of homemade bread this winter, smaller and denser than normal for two reasons -- first, because it's cold as hell here in Chicago right now, including in the kitchen of our co-op's ancient 125-year-old building; and second, because it's 50% whole wheat flour, another 25% rye (and 25% white to round it out). That said, the tighter and dryer dough responded well to my curved lame (lah-MAY), and here I got that fabled lip crust you're always looking for in your $7 artisanal loaves at the farmer's market and on Instagram. Another semi-blurry stenciling using rice flour, but it's at least enough that you can see the pattern!

I am so bummed right now.

I just caught news that one of the airship hangers in Tustin, California caught fire and they have to let it burn out. There are two hangers on the former military base and have been in some form of use since the 30’s.

I used to live a mile away from these magnificent buildings and they absolutely played a part in the inspiration to call my blog Airbag.

OK, to be fair, here's the link to the post Google was excerpting:

foodbodsourdough.com/its-often

She has a much better solution farther down:

"If you’re happy with your dough but would like an cleaner surface to score, or more time to score pretty patterns, before baking, place your banneton full of dough into the freezer for 30 minutes, then turn it out, score and bake."

The simplest way to make sourdoughIt’s often about the dough, not the lame…A question that I am often asked is: where can I get a better lame, mine doesn’t seem to work that well? And as much as I have a very beautiful new branded lame I might very happily wish to sell yo…
