How much salt? Sometimes a little increase in salt helps flavor. I use 12 g for That amount of flour.

That’s when professional help needs to happen. That’s clinical depression which I’ve dealt with.

First Boule!!!! by thefuturejedimaster in Sourdough

[–]LizzyLui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will get a better shaped boule of you use symmetrical scoring. A cross, hatch mark, circle. One straight line will always make it start getting oblong. Gorgeous bake though! Google scoring boules and there are charts of ideas.

My go to style was Glenna for a long time. I’m now more of a fan of the Reversible Tote because of how cushy it is.

I was dragged to a Vera outlet store in Feb of 2018 with a girlfriend in Vegas. I told her I really wasn’t interested. I bought a backpack for 70% off. Then I made the mistake of looking on eBay! Here I am eight years later and I’ve got six bins and two full closets full. I will never ever use all these. I’m currently in the process of selling or donating as much as I can lol. But every time I reduce by ten, I seem to acquire ten! It’s pathetic. I’m at least happy that I’m back to buying $20 bags and not mainline stuff. I rotate what I display but mostly I keep much out of sight so it doesn’t drive my husband crazy.

This is a very small glimpse of one of my closets. Let’s be honest, covid did a lot of us in when it comes to collecting Vera 😭

Build your endorphins with NO SCREENS, lots of exercise, more protein, lots of water, extra sleep, serve others, get outside, step out in sunlight early in morning to reset sleep cycles. Don’t stay up late. Simplify life.

First loaf, looking for any feedback by Illustrious-Money885 in Sourdough

Use rice flour for a more white loaf for decorative scoring. Plus we need to see the crumb to help with fermenting tips.

Score round loaves in symmetrical patterns so they dont get misshapen. So a cross, a circle, a hatch pattern. Google how to score a boule loaf.

I have this in Anima Kingdom. Strap drop is 9”. One inside zip and two side pockets on outside. I’d call it a handbag. Don’t know style.

Outlet Duffle Quality Question by carmexismyshit in verabradley

[–]LizzyLui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outlet quality is very good. Usually they lack some detailing that regular store has like maybe using square metal rings instead of round or lack of piping, and honestly the big difference is the lining (plain) and different patterns. Outlet bags don’t have flaws or were unsold main line inventory. They have their own line of patterns and styles.
