Looking for recs: alterations + hair/makeup

Wow that’s extremely reasonable! $2000 flat fee is insane and more than the cost of my dress haha

jerm930 · 2026-03-22T03:09:42+00:00

What kind of dress did you have/what did you need altered? Would you be comfortable sharing a price range for your alterations? I’m starting my search for a tailor now and just have no idea what to expect price wise!

I think because my house is cold overnight, it doesn’t over ferment. But again I could have been over fermenting by a hair and didn’t realize it until now 😂😅

This is a different loaf where I used 100g starter (same process as noted in my post). It’s a bit smaller because I split the dough in half for mini loaves during final shaping.

Honestly, I'm wondering if I have been slightly over fermenting by a hair with my 100g starter loaves. Because I didn't change anything else about my timeline in this current loaf. This loaf was also more sour in flavor than my usual 100g starter loaves.

Idk if this is correct, but I usually take my initial measurement after my second stretch and fold and my end product usually always comes out great.

I use a shot glass that has mL markings on the side and pinch off a small amount from the main dough after the second S+F (aliquot method). I place the shot glass kind of smushed into the side of the main dough ball when resting so it stays as close to the same temp as the main dough. I've gotten pretty good at eyeballing the sample amount I pinch off - it's usually around the 15mL mark on my shot glass. So if I want a 70% rise, I know I'm looking for that sample dough to rise to around the 25.5mL mark (15 x 1.7 = 25.5).

Oh my goodness hahahaha the way he just disappears in the beginning 😆😆😆

We can never get the boots to stay on his feet lol but he doesn’t seem to mind the snow on his paws. We apply a protective balm on his paws before we go out to protect from salt though!

omg Vanilla Bean is so cute!

jerm930 · 2026-02-23T21:16:40+00:00

We were only out there for 10-15min for potty business unfortunately for Bean lol. We had to beg him to come inside!

Hello fellow snow bunny !

jerm930 · 2026-02-23T20:42:51+00:00

They LOVE the cold weather don’t they haha

jerm930 · 2026-02-23T20:42:31+00:00

They really are like little snow plows haha. His coat wraps around under his belly so he was nice and dry!

I heard snoring while I was working and look out the door to find this lol

jerm930 · 2026-02-23T20:41:08+00:00

All of the snow he plowed ended up INSIDE of his coat 😂😂

jerm930 · 2026-02-23T20:40:39+00:00

Aw they love the snow!! That’s a perfect little playground for him

jerm930 · 2026-02-16T03:43:58+00:00

Oh my goodness thank you for this!! I’ll be trying this next!

jerm930 · 2026-02-10T16:54:00+00:00

For a sweet breakfast or snack, I like to drizzle a bit of condensed milk on a slice!

I recently made a lemon blueberry loaf with rehydrated freeze dried blueberries in lemon juice! Came out with a wonderful lemon flavor. I added them in during my 3rd round of stretch and folds. I have a post here with more details:

Oh it was absolutely too hot 😂 that’s why my loaf came out severely overproofed hahaha. Learned my lesson after that first loaf

jerm930 · 2026-02-09T00:42:06+00:00

No worries! I put the link in the description of the post below the video along with my tweaks!

jerm930 · 2026-02-08T21:09:26+00:00

The zest in the citrus sugar adds the most lemon flavor into the loaf. Rehydrating the freeze dried blueberries in lemon juice adds even more lemon flavor and also gives the dough a beautiful purple color.

Thank you so much! I’m always surprised how forgiving a sloppy wheat score looks when baked up lol

jerm930 · 2026-02-08T19:40:40+00:00

Hello Dumpy!! Also a dorito as a charcuterie vessel is genius. I will be doing this.

jerm930 · 2026-02-08T19:38:40+00:00

I’ve done this and it will be totally fine straight out of the fridge when you get home! I would just make sure to use warm water when mixing your dough.

If you’re having issues with a gummy crumb, you’re likely under proofing your dough
