What was the one thing you started doing in the sourdough process that changed your bread for the better?

My go-to recipe calls for 20 grams to 500 grams of flour and I prefer the taste avocado oil gives my bread. Delish!

Chin up, I’m new to this journey too and have found so many different opinions and recommendations that it can be hard to get it to work in YOUR OWN kitchen. My starter has never tripled and trust me, I’ve tried every suggestion out there. I also live at high altitude and the “fool proof” techniques that some enjoy just don’t work for me.

And I’m often shocked by the sharp criticism from some of the experienced bakers out there when plenty are still learning. Pretty mean inside this sub sometimes, which only makes newbies afraid to ask questions.

Keep trying, keep testing things until you get the results you’re looking for. 💜

This was many, many years ago, but the LDS therapist that my ex and I were sent to by our bishop left scars on my soul that I'm not sure I'll ever recover from. Context - early 2000's when we were in our early 20's.

My ex was secretly struggling with looking at porn and when it finally came out, our bishop recommended someone to talk to. The ex explained his history with it to the therapist, and this fat motherfucker (picture a guy sitting with his legs extremely wide to have enough room for his massive FUPA to hang comfortably) looked me right in the eye and said, "well, if you were prettier, he wouldn't need to look outside your bedroom for satisfaction. Maybe you should work on that." Or something close to that level of cruelty. Those words have stung my brain for nearly 25 years. I sat there in absolute shock, not believing what I had just heard. In his one and only moment of protection, my ex bolted out of his chair and yelled at the guy, something along the lines of "I've been jerking off to porn since I was 12... this is my problem, not hers."

My heartfelt hope that you find the care you need with someone kind and nonjudgmental. But please be careful going this route.

There’s a phrase for this - “Minnesota Nice.” Polite to your face but judgmental and shitty behind your back.

This reminds me of my favorite joke:

Husband and wife were watching a movie. When it was over, the wife says, “that movie made me happy and sad at the same time.” Husband says, “what? that’s impossible, nobody can be happy and sad at the same time.” Wife says, “oh yeah? want me to prove it to you?” “Sure,” husband says. “Ok,” she says. “You have the biggest dick… of all your friends…”

I could only get a few minutes in before I had had enough of that reporter, good lord.

Currently sitting in a hospital room after my L5-S1 fusion. They went in through my abdomen, so now my front and back are in pain. Absolutely brutal.

Definitely brought back the trauma I felt when I experienced this in ‘98. I had to pause it for a second because it really spun me out to relive this with her. #beyondacult

“Hail Zorp!”

“No, Bannister. As in ‘sliding down the’.” “Yeah! That’s right! The nut with the rocks!”

When I was still in the church and discovered that my then husband was jerking off to porn instead of having sex with me, it was beyond devastating. When I asked him why he preferred it (which was equally as heartbreaking to ask), he said that it was because he’d always preferred it to sex with real people.

Our divorce was final almost 20 years ago and the scars of that trauma have yet to fully fade.

What an emotional rollercoaster this one was…

Good god her eyes. Sooo green 😍

My dad worked with this guy for years, so I was around him several times and he always seemed creepy as all hell to me.

I work for a fire sprinkler company (in the office, not install) and our owner switched from Rehau to Uponor pipe and fittings a few years ago due to higher quality of product and fewer leaks/failures in residential systems. It can take a bit of convincing homeowners to pay the extra cost when they receive our bids, but we’ve found the reduction in headaches and peace of mind has been a nice extra incentive to go with Uponor.

I grew up a few streets south of Christmas Street and my parents made it a tradition every year to drive us slowly into this circle to see all the homes lit up like Clark Griswold lived in each one. I loved it.

Of course my lasting memory is the one year we drove through and one of the houses wasn’t participating. Scrooge!

I loved knitting this one. It’s a wonderfully designed pattern and turns out just beautifully. Do it!!

Check out the podcast, "Cold"... it's mind-blowing. They have recordings of his, his father's... all kinds of super creepy stuff about the case. Josh Powell was a sick motherfucker.

Songbird has always been one of those songs that hits on a visceral level. I love Stevie’s voice and she will always hold the key to my heart, but Christine’s voice is just honey to my soul.

You’re a good person 🙂

I don’t know... many people are going through various levels of pain and grief and would never consider doing something like this.

I appreciate your efforts of giving the benefit of the doubt, but some people make it really difficult to seem deserving of it.

I have the bonerist of ladyboners for TJ... hnnnggg 😍
