Okay, where is DAB?
Forums:
First we lose Cedar Mountain and now Dabrownman has gone MIA. I am concerned because from what I can tell, Dab has been posting regularly for years and now he hasn't posted since the end of June. Anyone heard from him?

Can't sleep, thinking about breadmaking
Forums:
Okay, this is really weird, but I can't sleep and I keep on daydreaming (at 01:00 lol) about breadmaking for some reason...
I see myself in a small business failing to sell anything, because all of my bread is over $1. It felt somewhat like a nightmare.
Such a weird thought, but it did help me realize that being an artisan breadmaker and owning a bakery is a lot more absurd that what I already thought. I might just end up like every other bakery in every corner selling ¢5-10 varied sweet rolls and pan de sal.

Pope Francis on Bread
Forums:
"Hope is the door that opens onto the future. Hope is a humble, hidden seed of life that, with time, will develop into a large tree. It is like some invisible yeast that allows the whole dough to grow, that brings flavor to all aspects of life."
-Pope Francis in his recent TED talk
I hear his bakes have a wonderfully open crumb. They don't call him His Holiness for nothing.

Cleanup on Aisle 1...
Forums:
Wow. What an utter clusterf*ck of a session *that* was in the kitchen.
So I took a recipe from the Healthy Bread in Five Minutes book. Whole Grain Rye bread. Easy peasy.
I intended to add sourdough starter, so I put everything in a spreadsheet and did some calculations. I added 250g of 100% hydration starter so I removed 125g of flour and 125g of water.
Mixed it all up, let it rise. And it rose!

Support your local miller
Forums:
We visited the Barton Springs Mill near Austin last weekend. It was really fun!
The owner, James, is amazingly knowledgeable. He has contracted with several farmers in the area to grow specific wheats, all organic. He then wholesales this to area bakeries and breweries. Hundreds of tons of grain moving in and out. When I explained that I was just getting started he gave me tip after tip and we talked shop a bit. The bread available there was delicious, and he told me that they have a hands-on baking class in June using their test kitchen and commercial oven! I'm in!

So a tree just crashed down on my deck:(
Forums:
fives years of drought took its toll on Califorina. There's three very old olive trees right behind my back deck. We have a late season storm going on with powerful wind gusts. It caused one of the olive trees to split down the middle. Fortunately it didn't hit the house

What's with all the bread lab posts?

Have we become the site for sharing some school experiments? Just seems odd that we have a bunch of people posting in the same format.

Just mentioning that the Photo FAQs page needs to be updated. Picasa is listed at the bottom for photo editing use. Google has discontinued Picasa, so it is no longer available for download.
