"Outdated form" error message when trying to reply

Floyd, just tried to post a question to a new entry from today (Cinnamon Swirl with Bourbon-Soaked Raisins).  Got this:  The form has become outdated. Copy any unsaved work in the form below and then reload this page."  I noticed the post was normal size (2-column page) when I was typing, but when I hit Save it changed to full-page size (as with printer-friendly), and gave me the error message.

Economical 5-7 day shipping rates

Hello friends.

 

 I was trying to find USPS flat rate shipping boxes to send out some of this nice C.B. Porridge bread. The only ones I find are 3 day priority boxes. I am confused about the cheapest way to ship a few loafs of bread from N.Y.C. to: FL. and AZ. Thanks for any help.

 

 Kind regards,

Will F.

Not bread related - but kitchen decor related

My daughter has always been interested in art and animals and taxidermy and plants etc.  She loves reptiles and makes reptile display cases with living walls.   She made a panel of living wall (bark and moss and branches and succulents and ferns etc.) and mounted it in her kitchen.  It's not finished yet, there will be more - but it looked so fabulous that I took a picture and wanted to share it here.

Super easy pasta dish

I'm not sure where (or even if) to post this ... so I guess I'll post it here in Off Topic.

I know many of you enjoy fancy, gourmet cooking and I admire and respect that ...... BUT, my own style is to find things that are super easy and quick and still taste wonderful.   I've been making a quick and easy pasta dish that I absolutely love and thought I'd share it with you.  If I need to make something in a hurry, I can go from scratch to serving dish in 20 minutes and it always impresses everyone who has tasted it.

Buying ingredients in NYC, Jersey City

Hello,

I have recently moved from Canada to NYC / Jersey City. My wife and I I are near Grove st, Jersey side and I work in lower Manhattan. 

I am yet to find somewhere that sells good flour. Even Bob's Red Mill Artisan bread flour is elusive. 

Does anyone have any recommendations for finding flour in NYC or Jersey City? Preferably lower side but not a necessity.

What kinds of flours do people in the US love using and find great quality with?

Thanks

San Francisco Trip - Bakery Suggestions?

I said yes to a work trip in San Francisco mostly because I wanted to eat bread out there!

I am planning on eating as much Sourdough as I can so please make any recommendations of bakeries you've had great bread at in SF. I don't know much about the area other than Tartine. Suggestions for famous and not-so-famous bakeries are welcome!

Ankarsrum Attachments

Hello Ankarsrum Owners .......I know this is a bread forum, but I thought I'd ask about this here since there are some fellow Ankarsrum owners around.

The attachments are really pricey so now and then I look for used ones, yet can never find any for sale (Craigslist, eBay, etc.)I know that Ankarsrum mixers last for a long time (and I love mine), but are there really no used attachments out there for sale?  Anyone know where I can get them for less than retail?  I'd especially like the pasta attachments.

Thanks!

Tracey
