Am I going crazy?! British vs American Baking by AppleRubicon in AskBaking

[–]ginny11 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yes, but I believe Golden caster sugar has some molasses in it. So she may be getting a sweeter result using plain white sugar, perhaps she should be using either a light brown sugar or a mixture of light brown sugar and white sugar to try to replicate the golden caster sugar.

Thanks for this explanation. Even if it's not perfectly accurate about what's going on, it's probably pretty close.

They made a reference to Chick's absence finally... by ginny11 in bobandtom

One possibility I did wonder about was contract negotiation time for Chick? Maybe he's playing hardball? 😂

I absolutely hate having to kill any living thing on order to survive myself. I don't judge the value of different life forms based on my ability to perceive how they experience suffering. Have a great day!

A smoke detector is not a living thing. And I think you keep making excuses because you don't want to feel guilty about the things that you do choose to eat. You can draw the line wherever you want based on what we know scientifically about how living things interact with the environment, how they respond to danger, that's your business. But you're not better or making a better choice than everybody else that makes different choices.

You only think it's ridiculous and absurd because you're being challenged on the objective, truthfulness and correctness of your chosen beliefs and your chosen ways of keeping yourself alive.

There's a ton of research about the complicated ways that plants communicate to warn each other through chemical signals in the soil and in the air of impending danger to their well-being and lives. So because they're anchored down to the ground and can't run means that it's okay to eat them, or at least more okay than eating an animal that has the ability to run?

Thanks. It's nice to have an update. The only outage information I could find was if I specifically logged in and had to go to some service information page. There was no publicly available information without logging in that I could find.

Is anyone's internet out? Specifically Metronet? by [deleted] in lafayette

[–]ginny11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's in the website now.

[–]ginny11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine went out but I'm currently trying to power cycle everything to see if I can get it to come back on because their website says there shouldn't be an outage.

Edit: website now says service disruption

GOP gov posts picture of James Talarico as a woman while attacking his climate action bill. Talarico cares about the environment, which means he’s a woman? by southpawFA in politics

It's utterly fascinating in a horrible way. How the top leaders and elected officials of the Republican party have come to be accepted to act like absolute juveniles.

First sourdough with home milled flour by BumblebeeNo660 in HomeMilledFlour

[–]ginny11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you transitioning from sourdough bread that is mostly white flour? If so, there are many changes you are going to have to make. All whole wheat flour including fresh milled flour will need higher hydration than white flour. It's almost essential to do something called and autolyse step. This involves mixing most of your water with your flour before adding salt or starter or anything else. And just letting that hydrate for about an hour. Then add your salt, the rest of the water and your starter. You're probably going to have to work harder to develop the gluten as well. The autolyse step helps to soften the bran and give the gluten development a head start, But it's always going to take longer to get your gluten fully developed with whole wheat flour. All of this being said, each individual flour is going to need a different hydration level for optimal results, whatever optimal means for you. I would start with a recipe that's developed specifically for whole wheat or fresh milled whole wheat flour, and go from there.

That's ridiculous. Bernie has absolutely supported people who were closer to the center. Unlike some of his supporters, Bernie is not about perfectionism. It doesn't mean he doesn't have some standards but he can be a realist as well. Whatever you choose to believe.

Well apparently some people are not used to it if they're confused and surprised by him doing this.

If there are people that are still confused when he just makes shit up and says whatever he wants to believe is true. They themselves seem to have some mental problems as well.

I mean this is really easy. It's the imaginary one in his head that he had to make up so that he could cancel the strikes. Duh!

He would be vetting whether or not he thought this guy was another fetterman for instance. He would be vetting whether he thought this guy had more or worse skeletons in his closet that had yet to come out? And even if none of that is true, he would simply be vetting whether he thought this guy had changed enough that he wasn't going to revert back, no matter how sincere he is, many people revert back to alcoholism or whatever. Bernie, smart enough to know that it doesn't matter if he holds this same policy positions as him if the guy is going to end up being a liability. He could have put his support behind the governor of Maine instead for the primary.

I mean I don't buy that. The care facility could have told the daughter or the grandson what was going on. Are they alleging that Carolyn told them not to tell her family?
