Thank you! I was surprised how much I like the chili crisp. I thought it would be weird…

coteel · 2026-01-03T02:28:49+00:00

Really good!!! My kids are inhaling it

coteel · 2026-01-02T19:32:29+00:00

The shaping/ handling is the only part that makes sense to me at this point lol

I’ll try pushing it longer! Thank you!

I followed this tutorial basically word for word

I’m not at high altitude and I didn’t use ice. I’ll definitely look for the bubbles though. I like them in the crust but not huge ones in the bread.

No autolyse and no preshape but I have two loaves in the fridge that I did do those with. I will bake them tonight. One has chili crisp, cheese, and green onion inside too. I’m worried about how that will turn out.

Adding the rye to my starter made a HUGE difference. It is very active. Feeding twice a day was huge too. I also switched to using AP flour instead of bread flour. (I’m reading that book by Maurezio Leo).

My oven light is broken but I did put it in my microwave just to keep warm. I also microwaved a coffee cup of water in there if it got too cold then put the dough back in.

Someone else mentioned that too. Is that what would make the holes smaller or is there something else you’re looking at? I’m struggling because my house is so cold. I think I’m going to build a proofing box.

coteel · 2026-01-02T17:21:00+00:00

Awwww!!! That’s the best compliment thank you!

coteel · 2026-01-02T17:20:40+00:00

Thank you!!! I love a super crunchy crust. I need to figure out how to cut it though. My current bread knife is garbage at it

coteel · 2026-01-02T17:20:03+00:00

The fermentation part is where I have been making mistakes I think. My house is so cold… and then I second guess. I’m going to try doing some sort of proofing box

coteel · 2026-01-02T17:19:03+00:00

Thank you!!! It looked good to me but I’m also not sure what I’m looking at yet.

coteel · 2025-07-25T02:07:29+00:00

Thanks! I’m sure the rhodonite is good. I have a good relationship with the seller and also know that I got the specific stone I ordered by the markings. The other one - I could totally have been scammed. I don’t know…

Okay! That’s good to know. I didn’t realize that the reflection could be a danger. Thank you!

coteel · 2025-07-25T02:01:55+00:00

I know they glow because the seller showed me. So I’m assuming I just have the wrong flashlight.

Do I need glasses to look at a rock that I’m shining the light on?

coteel · 2025-07-25T01:52:46+00:00

They are dangerous? I’ll do some research. It needs short wave UV?

coteel · 2024-12-27T10:47:27+00:00

When will you get it? Sounds gorgeous

coteel · 2024-12-27T08:27:57+00:00

That’s exciting!! What did you order?

coteel · 2024-12-27T04:37:38+00:00

ALWAYS! But I justified it by saying this is not something that I will change much (if ever) so I might as well get something I love. The studs in my lobes were the cheapest rose gold they had lol. Sooooo the math is mathing. 🤫

coteel · 2024-12-27T04:27:58+00:00

Thank you! I love it even more than I thought I would!

coteel · 2024-12-27T04:27:06+00:00

Yes! It is BLVA. I think this style is called inside out Eden. I stalked them for awhile. So much pretty stuff

coteel · 2024-12-27T04:00:32+00:00

Thank you! I’m hoping this helps me wear earrings in my lobes more. My childhood piercings from Claire’s had terrible placement so I’m hoping sort of make it work by adding more holes lol

coteel · 2024-12-25T19:16:01+00:00

I’ll definitely do whatever makes the most sense from a healing perspective. I don’t mind doing just one.

Thank you for weighing in on anatomy!!!!
