Thanks -- after several hundred loaves now - I am starting to get the hang of it, getting to know how to read the dough during the fermentation, how it 'feels', how it looks, how it reacts. Every loaf I make is an experiment - different methodology - different mix - always learning ... hope to continue.. Cheers

Still working with my non-birth year starter... I am baking two loaves - twice a week these days - and sharing at work. -- This is one I liked - and had good results. Oat Porridge AP - 600g 50% Whole - 300g 25% Oat - 300g 25% H20 - 950g 79% Salt - 29g Oat Porridge 600g Bake was @500 covered for 15 Minutes @500 uncovered for 10 (forgot to turn oven down) @450 for 5 @450 on oven rack for 25% They were heavy and big suckers.. But very nice and the bake was good. Crust was nice and crisp - crumb was moist (expected for porridge loaf), but not too sticky. There was a lovely sweetness on the palate - rest of the nuttiness and oatiness are light but nice. bread pics -

A good one http://comediansincarsgettingcoffee.com/john-oliver-what-kind-of-human-animal-would-do-this

Agreed Steve - there seems to be a lot of 'managing the race' going on. But the series is kind of built that way with all the restrictions. So we end up with a lot of races that may not be the most exciting to watch but all the little things that are going on season long makes the soap opera called F1 worth the ride. I have to admit I have backed off on my watching - I still watch the race, but I use to watch the complete P2 and Quali coverage as well. One, I am shorter on time than I was in the last few years, but also there is a lot less drama and entertainment factor in the lead-up than I found in the past. Maybe I should pick an upcoming race and watch the entire weekend covereage - see if the ol spark is there.

this - a couple times....

Saw this art piece in Vancouver last weekend. Watched it three times in the Museum ... old school looping
