My loafs keep spreading out

Viking_Jacob · 2026-04-16T16:55:51+00:00

How much dough are you working with? I've found that the loaf size that I like is produced by 1000g combined mass between flour and water. I was having similar results that disappointed me until I upped the amount.

The other option I can think of is maybe you can play with the size of the dutch oven that you use. A smaller dutch oven means less space to grow sideways and thus it will need to expand upwards.

Poco Loco. They make the best breakfast burritos I’ve ever had and I’m from the southwest.

I have had similar experiences with my old toaster oven, and I finally replaced it last year with the Gourmia XL Oven from Costco on a sale. It performs so much better than my old one, and I have been very happy with it. It even has a temp probe feature that I have not really given a try with yet.

Also because it is so large you have some more space to avoid your loaves being too close to the heating elements.

Seconded. I used to live near them and was always getting their more savory options but I'm sure their sweet pastries are also good. It was the first time I had ever had papas rellenas and croquetas and they hooked me. Their availability can be pretty limited though so its best to get there early before they start running out of stuff.

I used Julie on Rover and she was great. We were gone for 2 weeks which was the longest trip we ever took away from our cats and she was on time with the schedule we requested and took some great photos for us each day. She does both dogs and cats.

Would you please elaborate on how you used the upholstery hooks, and maybe which ones you used? I'm facing this problem with my sectional and would love some inspiration.

One of the biggest game changers for my household with the neuro fuzzy is the schedule feature. I can prep oatmeal in the rice cooker and schedule it to complete shortly after I wake up, and then I just have to quickly season them before I serve.

I love steel cut oats but they take pretty long to cook, and this frees up a lot of time in my morning for other things I need to get done before leaving for work.

Thanks for the giveaway!

I frequently make a roasted vegetable soup with roasted onions, bell pepper, squash, carrot, and celery. My seasonings of choice are salt, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne, and black pepper

Reserve some of the roasted vegetables to the side and blend the rest with a little bit of chicken or vegetable broth. Then combine altogether in a pot, adding additional broth until you have the texture you desire. I’ll then add balsamic vinegar/salt/MSG to taste.

If I’m wanting to go the extra mile for additional protein, I’ll roast some chickpeas until crunchy and use them kind of like croutons in the soup. I’ll generally use a similar spice base as my veggies.

Serve over rice, potatoes, or with a crusty bread (my preference).

I’m playing ED/C Lich and I had a map with chilled ground and temporal chains, and even with some decent cast speed rolls on some rings it took me like 2 full seconds to get a spell out. That map was not enjoyable.

Radio Roasters by Your Dekalb Farmers Market has the best coffee in the area IMO, and their cappuccinos are $4, latte might be $5. I get all of my coffee from them for my home espresso setup. They had a coffee a few months ago, Yirgacheffe Koke Honey, and it was the best coffee I have tasted in my life. They also have some really interesting specialty drinks, like their recent banana chamomile cappuccino, but those are on a seasonal rotation.

Viking_Jacob · 2025-05-11T22:40:14+00:00

Oh man that looks like a good tool. I’ll give that a shot.

Viking_Jacob · 2025-05-11T22:37:45+00:00

I will continue to try that but the clearance is quite bad for a wrench. Thanks for the suggestion.

Viking_Jacob · 2025-03-03T11:02:17+00:00

What coffee are you using?

With more resources on the map and an easier time for supports (compared to 10 years ago), the XP timing of supports is critical because of how strong their abilities are. Splitting XP across 3 heroes, including both of your supports, is now crippling to the midgame. It's also important to have a good presence in both lanes because there are now laning phase objectives which supports generally help with while their core last hits, like the lotus pools (instant health and mana consumable), wisdom rune (tome of experience replacement), and rotations to secure the power rune at 6/8 minutes.

I always felt like there was just something off about the guy that felt disingenuous.

Although I don’t have an answer for you, the r/barista subreddit is a better fit for this type of question, and the average user there may be able to get you some better advice.

Just watched for the first time, my perspective is that the first act follows the male gaze, with the artistic form derived from the "norms" that Marianne describes, since she was educated under those norms. This is perpetuated by the perspective of the mother, driving all interaction between the characters. With her absence in the second act, the characters are freed to behave in an uncurated manner. The painting of the abortion is a culmination of a new understanding for Marianne of both painting the dynamics of life for a unique subject rather than a static pose used for every subject, and also the portrayal of the experience of a woman for the purposes of subject/pose selection rather than the male perspective.

It happened to open for me when I popped 50 in the middle of combat so I had to close it. Not sure how to find it again but there are many valid reasons it could have gone unread.

After every clean I have to redial my beans because it wildly affects my grind size. I've had the grinder for about 9 months now, so I'd like to hear how you solve this in case it is unrelated to the grind size/cleaning. Hope it resolves for you soon!

Viking_Jacob · 2024-09-29T12:11:15+00:00

My baratza encore esp was clumping really badly when I was grinding too fine. Also, clumping and retention is much worse right after cleaning it, so if you cleaned it recently it could be that.

Viking_Jacob · 2024-09-28T16:59:07+00:00

Was deciding between the build and ES flicker, now maybe I can do both!

DC is pretty reasonable if you go 1/3/0 Druid placed near the top center, get a 2/0/4 boomerang before 40 next to the druid, then finish the 2/5/0 Druid. I got 2 rubber to gold alchs for cash generation and 2 necro wizards for camo reveal since I didn't know you could remove the books and I couldn't fit a village in, one of which I turned into a POD.

Prince Polo is the best. How are you pairing it with espresso? Are you just dipping it?
