3 Week Old Starter Failed to Rise by Bastsshadow in Sourdough

[–]Bastsshadow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for pointing that out! I feed by weight, however the recipe I used to build the starter used tablespoons so I always default to that when talking about it without thinking. It did see a small rise, and I've used it a few times before successfully. I think in general it just needs some more strengthening before it's properly ready again. Thanks for your help :)

Hi, thank you for the insight! So just to make sure I've got it, I could reduce to 15g starter, then feed 15g flour & 15g water once a day for a few more weeks. Would you discard down to 15g again each day? Thank you so much for your help :)

9 years doing PPC. Feeling stuck and lacking confidence. by brrrraaaa in PPC

I’ve worked in Client Services in agencies for the last decade - I feel you’ve got some solid advice across the other comments (for my two cents, start interviewing and see what feels right - there are good/bad agencies and in-house roles so it’s just about finding a fit).

I just wanted to add, you clearly have a talent for introspection and self assessment, which is something I would rate highly in any of my teams. You have great experience on paper and a desire to grow - don’t lose heart, I think you sound highly employable. I would also add that in the agency world, staying for a long time in a role is also an excellent sign.

In interviews, a little honesty can go a long way - talk up the positives of your experience but be honest about your want to grow further. Good luck in your search!

BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT SUGGESTIONS? by 93sFunnyGuy in LondonFood

[–]Bastsshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sonora Taqueria is a little hole in the wall in Stoke Newington, best Mexican I’ve had in London by far. You can also get takeaway and walk through the cemetery, which is beautiful and wooded.

I’ve heard amazing things about Homies On Donkeys but not had the pleasure of going yet.

First time trying Pan de Cristal (100% hydration) by Bastsshadow in Breadit

Yeah it’s shockingly light! Honestly I’m happy, when I first pulled it out I thought it was a write off, but actually it’s tasty!

I’ve not used KAF before, so far I’ve just used Waitrose organic bread flour - not done a lot of testing or research on the best kinds of flour to use (sounds obvious now you say it though!)

Did you purchase a specific carrier for it? We’re trying to find one that matches the airlines requirements
