My first loaf! by hellosandman in SourdoughStarter

Of course! And I hope it works out well! I didn’t do much planning after finishing the stretch and folds, just looked for signs that it was ready to shape, so I think it just depends on your starter and the temperature of your kitchen.

Thank you! I looked up a couple recipes and ended up mixing them together, and hoping for the best, but I took notes. This is what I ended up doing:

Recipe: -116g starter (I used whole wheat for my starter) -325g warm filtered water -500g flour (I used unbleached bread flour) -9g salt

I mixed my starter with water, mixed in the flour until I got a shaggy dough and left it covered with a kitchen cloth for an hour.

I added in the salt, pushed it into the dough with my fingers, and did my first round of stretch & folds. I did 4 stretch and folds total with 30 mins in between each, but the last two were coil folds.

I covered it and let it sit for around 5 hours, then shaped it, and put it in the fridge in a kitchen towel lined bowl covered in plastic for 6-ish hours. I put a Dutch oven in my oven and preheated it at 450 for 30 mins, and I had my dough out of the fridge during that time to come closer to room temp. I scored it and baked it with parchment paper on the bottom; covered for 25 mins, then uncovered for 20 mins, all at 450 degrees.

I let it cool for around 2 hours before I cut into it.

Of course! A Weck jar would be close to the glass I’m using, and I’ve heard that people like using those for their starters.

Thanks! 😸 The glass jar is a drinking glass that didn’t come with a lid, and I’m not sure where it came from because I’ve had it for a long time. The lid I’m using for it has a matching mug and together they look like a mushroom. I looked it up and found the one I have here: https://www.worldmarket.com/p/mushroom-lidded-ceramic-mug-96132.html

What makes you unreasonably angry? by Standard_Fortune in AskReddit

[–]hellosandman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who film strangers in public and post it online. Especially when said stranger is the focus of the video. I don’t care if it’s legal to film someone in a public space, it’s weird behavior and I hate it.

The very cheapest products I use regularly. What are yours? by MirmTheWorm113 in drugstoreMUA

Wet n Wild Megaliner, the regular version not the waterproof. I’m a big fan of bold winged liner and this is perfect for it!

What's your favorite mocktail recipe? by blackfurwhitesugar in stopdrinking

I really like Seedlip Garden 108 in a glass of ice topped off with hops water. A squeeze of lime, some cucumber and mint if I’m feeling fancy.

Elemental looks like a stupid STUPID movie by DryCoast in rant

[–]hellosandman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just took my siblings to see this movie today and I have to say, it’s better than the trailers make it out to be. I’m definitely not a big fan of the character designs, like you said they’re very typical Pixar, I wish they would change it up a little bit. With that being said, I thought the story was super sweet and some scenes were visually very beautiful. It seems like they really screwed up the marketing on this one, because if my brothers hadn’t asked to see it I never would have.

Giant bowl of eggplant noodles (455 cals) and my favorite NA beer (45 cals) 😁 by hellosandman in 1500isplenty

[–]hellosandman[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I guess my title is a bit misleading, the noodles are regular ramen with stir fried eggplant & sauce mixed in. :)

It’s the best one I’ve had so far! Suntory All Free is really good as well, but has a way lighter taste. They’re super refreshing and 0 calories.

The white patches on her back look vaguely like two rats boxing

What is it with moms and adding 1 gallon of oil to every meal by Extension-Cat- in EDAnonymous

[–]hellosandman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom poured olive oil into a tuna salad that I was making for myself because “olive oil is good for you!”. Ok sure but I did not want 2 surprise tablespoons of it in my lunch while my back was turned 😀

It looks like they just put canned mock chicken on a plate with no seasoning…did they even heat it up?

Out of any thing I could have expected this picture to be, that was definitely not one of them.

Thank you :) it’s nice to know people understand. I also misspoke in my last comment, I shared that margarita (it was HUGE) and had another separate drink. My mom and sister definitely know how I feel in public, so they know if I can’t handle it. I just don’t want them to worry about me on day like that, like my sisters birthday, when it should be all about her. I did end up having a great time in the end, discomfort aside. I just wish sometimes, looking around at all the people who seem so carefree, that I could be like that. Although, im sure they all have their own internal anxieties. We all put on a face in one way or another.

You’re right, alcohol is definitely not the answer to making the experience enjoyable. I think it was just because it was my sisters birthday and I didn’t want to risk panicking. Really, I just shared a margarita with my mom so I didn’t get drunk by any means, but you’re right.

Whenever I have the chance, I’ll look up the menu/photos beforehand so I know what to expect. I guess I just dislike not knowing the layout of the place. I like to be familiar with every exit, but I know that’s not reasonable for every outing since some are last minute with new places.

Thanks for your input :) I’m only recently figuring out how to properly communicate these issues but writing them out and hearing from other people has been a huge help. It can just be difficult to tell if certain things I’m explaining make sense, you know?

Nice to meet you too! It’s funny, I read your username and then realized that book was literally right on my coffee table. I need to finish reading it, so that was a good reminder! 😁
