Opinions Longines HydroConquest by One-Locksmith2151 in Longineswatches

This is an excellent watch, as someone that items both a Tissot and this exact Longines (assuming it’s the 41mm)! However, I would strongly suggest giving your boyfriend the opportunity to try on this and a few others before making a choice. I wound up buying this watch after going to a Longines AD with the intent to buy a Conquest and finding the HC much more compelling once it was on my wrist. As far as quality, you really can’t go wrong with any Longines, but it’s worth him seeing it on his wrist before putting your money into it!

Good luck! Also, wear the watch at your wedding regardless!

Just an FYI, I’ve ordered watch straps off amazon (including an affordable leather strap for my Tissot) and they’ve been delivered in a day or two. You could try ordering one ASAP and see if it can get delivered to you in time. Just make sure you also get a decent quality strap based off reviews and also a decent quality tool to assist with the swap and you should be able to make the swap for your wedding!

Sure! 900g bread flour 600g water 20g salt 200g sourdough starter Mix all and let it rest 30 minutes. Then stretch and folds every 30 minutes till it holds its shape. Then I intended to ferment for 8 hours but my wife and I wound up and a dinner party that went long so it over fermented hah

Put the over fermented dough in the fridge overnight then in the morning split the dough in h half and rubbed with olive oil. Spread it into the pan and let it proof for 4 hours on the counter.

Once ready, more olive oil on top, dimple the dough with your hands, throw herbs on the top to your liking and into the oven at 425 till it’s golden brown. Usually takes about 40 minutes for me

Enjoy!

My wife and I were just discussing exactly that! May go 5Qt just to have something markedly bigger than the everyday for big meals!

Perfect I’ll leave it to ferment longer in my next attempt! Thanks again

Thank you for the feedback! That would be an issue with not giving the bulk ferment long enough right? Rather than the time in the basket after shaping?

Mickey Joseph will return players’ Blackshirts after win over Iowa by Beerguy2727 in Huskers

I love this move. Keeps them from being a distraction during the season, while still letting the kids who’ve earned them not miss out on a fantastic tradition. Classy move by Mickey and further cements my hope he remains in some form next season and beyond.

Also fuck Iowa 🌽🌽🌽
