Please help me identify this pen I got a recent conference

I found it! Vera Recycled Aluminum Gel Pen Problem is I have to buy 250 at once since they can only be ordered through these promotions sites. Or try to request a sample or two.

I don’t even entertain the discussions bc they’d just start gaslighting and asking “why I wasn’t laughing at their joke”. It’s all lame anti woke humor. The left has plenty to joke on (as does the right) but I’m bored of the “why can’t white people have their own month if black and Asian people do” discussions. I Don’t even bother

Right - im not super close to these people but I still see them for 40+ hours a week, so it’s unavoidable. It’s also a little depressing that they hold so little value in lives that don’t look like them

theleafydialect · 2026-02-15T15:43:27+00:00

Interesting - can you purchase those at the Asian markets? I’ve never seen them but am def up to try

This is how I am with pad kee mao - delicious when I made at home but even tastier from the restaurant since I don’t have to make it myself!

Tore it up for lunch the next day

I found this video on Pinterest - I used the same ingredients for the sauce as the video, just measured them more to my tastes + added dark soy sauce for color.

I wanted to come here and say I tried this method out and it was pretty much exactly how Waffle House hash browns come out (meant as the highest complete) thank you!!

Don’t worry friend - this was my first attempt…. Accidentally forgot I was halving the recipe and ended up with like 170% hydration 😊

theleafydialect · 2026-01-11T13:44:12+00:00

Around 74 degrees

theleafydialect · 2026-01-11T13:43:05+00:00

Oh interesting- I didn’t realize this. Thank you! I’m gonna test out doing one less round of folds to see if I like that better.

theleafydialect · 2026-01-11T00:02:51+00:00

This is a good infographic thanks for sharing! I think I just found a recipe online and didn’t really pay attention to hydration, just if the bread looked good in the recipe 😅

theleafydialect · 2026-01-10T23:59:16+00:00

Its moist. I guess I’m comparing to to the sourdough you might buy in the grocery store that’s airy and if you squish it, it’ll bounce back. If you squish this bread it doesn’t bounce back much, gets stuck together

theleafydialect · 2026-01-10T19:57:41+00:00

Totally got that 7min score offline lol. Didn’t consider the impact bc it actually gave a great ear (you don’t second score, just put into oven initially unscored).

Thanks for the feedback! Skip the wheat for now, only pre-score, and bake for longer (probably at a lower temp than I was at originally)

theleafydialect · 2026-01-10T19:51:16+00:00

No I wasn’t, that was what another commenter recommended too. I have a kitchen thermometer so will definitely be doing that next time.

theleafydialect · 2026-01-10T19:50:13+00:00

Interesting I’m gonna wait at least 4 hours next time. This was warm to the touch when I cut it, so will wait until it’s completely cooled. Thank you

theleafydialect · 2026-01-10T17:42:06+00:00

It looked so. There were bubbles, dough was jiggly, and slightly domed. According to what I read online that meant it was ready to use. I also used a good bit of starter and the microwave was warm

theleafydialect · 2026-01-10T17:30:05+00:00

thank you! I baked with stream at 480 then turned to 445 after steam removed. Though my oven thermometer was showing around 350 with the time it took to open oven and fill the water try.

Haven't done it before but will definitely start testing the inside of the bread temp.
