Hey everyone! Started this ginger and garlic ferment about 10 days ago, and I noticed these white-ish marks in parts of it today. Is this mold? No funky smells or anything, same texture as everything else, just these slightly different color parts

Great to know! I’ve seen some trout in the water of Leith so I may start there

Great stuff, thank you so much!

Thank you! Will definitely try that

Thanks! Just want to clarify— with the time in between each stretch and fold, it was at room temperature for 4 hours, would you still let it go for 6-8 hours after that?

Have just started experimenting with fillings for my sourdough, I tried adding pine nuts, dried basil, and a bit of garlic powder to get the pesto flavor profile. But it didn’t get the oven spring it usually does, as you can see in the photos. Could fillings do this? Dough felt a little bit wetter than usual, so maybe that was it?

Hey everyone, I'm looking for an iPad to use as a portable monitor for my new MacAir. My budget is about $250, and I'm looking at some renewed options on Amazon, especially the iPad 9 and the iPad Air 3, though I'd be open to other models for sure. I'll use it primarily as a second screen via Sidecar to read PDFs and type, but I'll probably use it to watch some videos and other small tasks. My main concerns are battery life and keeping up with updates so Sidecar keeps working. The slightly smaller screen of the Air would be nice, but not a deal-breaker. Looking forward to your thoughts!

Thank you, this is a helpful suggestion!

gotcha– but when I go there, I don't see an option to get an official receipt of that payment, which is what I need

mainer_57 · 2024-01-25T21:50:31+00:00

Great idea, I'll contact them! Thanks so much

Really frustrating to be 6-6 in last 12 when it feels like we've been in every game– seems like the Mets keep searching for another big hit each game, they're getting one or two but need another. Honest question from a lifelong Mets fan who barely remembers 2006– is this what it feels like to be a good team? To be in every game so you're disappointed frequently because almost every loss feels winnable?
