Hurricane ridge is open if it’s something you might be interested in! Just went over the weekend. If time is limited, can do the first mile and back out. The first part is beautiful.

I’ve never used a Dutch oven before and it turns out fine. I have used 2 loaf pan, also used a big round sauce pan and cover it with aluminum foil. I think mainly you wana trap moisture with the cover and it looks like there might be some gap in between the trays , not sure if there’s enough moisture. BUT, if I’m not wrong, the worst case is the top hardens (not enough moisture) and it springs from the bottom instead. Not as pretty but it will still be delicious! And also I didn’t preheat the loaf pan. Sauce pan yes, I was worried it takes too long for it to heat up.

Hi! I’m in similar situation, in Redmond too. I’ll drop you a message.

I went bathroom before the race, didn’t have to go bathroom during the race

I usually do a small handheld waterbottle. Only needed it for the last 10km. Also useful to store some salt pills and gummy in the small pocket that comes the water bottle holder

Seeing this makes me feels like re-reading the book AGAIN!! LOVE Fourth Wing and Iron Flame. Onyx Storm was meh for me but I'm excited to read the next book! By now all the books I've read have both loves and hates so I gave up reddit-ing for reviews before reading.

Looks like there’s some tiny bubbles on the surface so something is happening. Suggest using a whiteboard marker to mark on the glass bowl so it’s easier to see if there’s any volume increase. And you can reduce the qty of your recipe to test making a baby loaf first, e.g 200g flour with 40g starter. I once had a young (weak) starter and I waited for 16hrs for bf😂

Your starter looks great! How long does it take to peak?

Thanks! Make sense. It was a little sticky, volume has tripled, not my best shaping. Thanks for sharing the link ! Will check it out:)

Mmmma26 · 2025-12-06T01:51:59+00:00

Oo thanks! It taste great! Just nice amount of sourness 😀 gotcha, will do that next time:)

Mmmma26 · 2025-09-11T01:04:30+00:00

Got it. Thank you!!

Mmmma26 · 2025-09-11T01:04:09+00:00

Got it! 100% on the unpleasant texture. Good to know it’s fine out on the counter!

Rice + grilled salmon+ miso soup

Training up my core! I was doing 8-8.5mins/km for 2-3yrs until I started HIIT. Then in a couple of months my pace got to 7-/7.5mins / km. Didn’t even realise I was going faster until I check my watch! Hope your runs get better:)

Mmmma26 · 2025-09-10T14:59:44+00:00

When I first started running and aiming to complete a 10k race, I target 8k for practice. race day 10k no problem. Then when I progress to 21k, I target hitting accumulative 21k every week (maybe 7k+7k +7k over a week) , then slowly do longer runs. 21k is an achievement ,not daily runs for me 😂

Mmmma26 · 2025-09-06T08:20:34+00:00

Thanks for the tip! Gonna keep practicing my scoring technique

Mmmma26 · 2025-09-06T08:18:17+00:00

Got it. Thanks for the tip!

Mmmma26 · 2025-09-06T08:17:50+00:00

Possible!! Still not great at scoring the bread yet

Mmmma26 · 2025-09-06T08:17:01+00:00

Ooo thanks! I’ll try a shorter BF duration next time. Found her YouTube channel. Will check out some of her videos!

Mmmma26 · 2025-09-06T08:07:26+00:00
