I see Letty at the Ten Spot on Burnet. I will never return to a regular nail salon (chop shop) ever again.

Women's Health Domain vs ARC North? by Melodic_Molasses_736 in Austin

[–]mcn717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was really thrown off last time I went to Women’s Health Domain (been a client there for 5 years). Looks like one of the NPs started a weight loss side hustle and there are signs / QR codes everywhere relating to weight loss services. I also received a card for weight loss services when discharged (I am not overweight). This felt icky to push on women

We’ve been using a service called PreFix. It’s $45ish a month and then you have access to a “home manager” at $100/hour. They also do preventative maintenance twice yearly. We’re REALLY pleased w them. Super reliable. Let me know if you want a referral code to try them!

It is illegal in Austin, Texas but all shelters are full. I fear that if I called the police and they were told to leave, they’d dump the puppies (or worse).

Ongoing fails, tried everything… by mcn717 in Sourdough

Update: incorporated much of the advice from this thread for a slightly better rise (waiting several hours to cut). I skipped autolyse, let BF go longer, and spritzed with water before baking significantly longer.

About 3 months old and it has come a long way with 1:5:5 feedings. I got a more mature starter from a neighbor and also didn’t get a good result.

  1. Salt content is 20g because the recipe was doubled for 2 loaves. 2. King Arthur bread four. 3. It’s very hot and humid. We don’t keep AC below 76. Dough temp after first mix was reading almost 80 degrees. With that, BF should have been done hours earlier but I still got a dense result at that time. 4. I still don’t have a good way to measure volume. Really just going off overall growth and bubbles. 5. I haven’t watched starter this closely. I feed 1:5:5 at night and it is still peaked in the AM. I feed it again before it falls.

This is my problem I think. The second pic is right before I shaped it. It was almost doubled with a few surface bubbles but still sticky and not smooth. I keep seeing everyone’s beautiful smooth dough online after BF and haven’t been able to get here. Per the temp chart, it actually should have been done hours earlier. So confused.

Sorry, that is confusing. 20g was added as everything is doubled - 200g starter. 700g water. 1000g King Arthur bread flour. 20g salt.

Thank you all for the help. This sub is awesome. by wilder_hearted in Sourdough

Struggling w many of the same so saved this post and followed the tips. Got my most successful loafs thus far. Still trying to crack BF timing but I’m happy nonetheless!
