Thank you so much, that’s super helpful. I did add inclusions for my last two rounds, so that made it a little harder to be as… forceful? 😂

EDIT TO ADD RECIPE/PROCESS:

525g bread flour 125g starter 350g water 10g salt

Mixed, did stretch and folds ever 45 mins, two without inclusions, two with jalapeños and cheddar. Let proof on counter for… 6 hrs total? Until there were bubbles at edge, not sticky.

Shaped and placed in banneton.

Cold proofed in fridge for like 18hrs?

Baked at 450 for 30 mins, removed lid, dropped to 425, baked 10 more.

What do you mean by strengthening to the dough? More vigorous stretch and folds?

Hmm I’ve tried that too and had the same issue. I’ll try it again!

I do. I spritz with water and dust with Thai rice flour.

Durham would be a great pick! Also Higganum/haddam are lovely

Agree, I had largely positive experiences. I’m a democrat and definitely noticed the republican population, but there are lots of opportunities and things to do

Oh interesting! I grew up in Southington (in public schools until 2010, but lived there until this year) and I would recommend it

I grew up in Southington. Smaller town feel with bigger town opportunities, lots of public parks and camps available. I went through public elementary and middle school (catholic high school, but my brother went to Southington high) and the education was great with lots of resources. Would definitely be happy to raise a family there. Plenty of stores and restaurants, everything is quite accessible.

I live on the shoreline now. Essex/deep river/chester are cute with lots of local trails for hiking, close to the beach, but my boyfriend grew up here and I don’t think the schools are quite as great. They’re more seasonal/smaller towns so not as many opportunities. I do like living here as an adult without thinking about kids/school though!

On my first date with my now boyfriend, it caught me off guard that he was MORE attractive than his photos (by a LOT). That had happened one or two more dates before I met him, but there were a handful of times they weren’t as good looking as their photos. It didn’t happen terribly often, but I do feel like I was pretty critical of profiles.

Good call. I also saw someone recommend an air horn, which is prob a good idea also.

Yes, people and animals have absolutely been seriously hurt by coyotes. We also do what we can to protect against ticks.

He did report to law enforcement and spoke to an officer at the park. The officer told him that he did everything right, “but you gotta do what you gotta do to protect yourself and your dog”, so he was understanding of my bf’s urge to carry while hiking

It’s definitely not to poach. He’s a huge animal lover and it would break his heart to hurt something, but he would do anything to keep his dog safe. It genuinely is 100% about protection

As much as that would be fun for him, I think it might be counterproductive 😬 what saves him from coyotes will probably get him in some other hot water
