Poppy Seeds

Being of Central Europe descent I am fond of poppy seeds on my bread and in desserts, but be aware that if you consume them it may give a false positive for opiates in a drug test. 

It is known that they can be detected in urine up to 48 hours after consumption and may persist even longer. If you are expecting a drug test, it is best to avoid poppy seeds for at least several days beforehand.

Convert Food Recipe to Spreadsheet

Looking for ideas to convert a typical food recipe to a spreadsheet. I would like to use the sheet to size the recipe up and down and want to portion out in grams.

My first thought is to use the main ingredient (in the case below, crab meat) as 100% and everything else as a percentage of that ingredient. I am prepared to weight each ingredient to describe it in a grams instead of cups.

Thoughts?

Tip: loaf identification

Sometimes I do trials where two shaped loaves are treated differently - eg bulk or proof time, temperature, and so on.

It is easy to lose track of which loaf is which and a simple solution is to sprinkle about 1/2 tspn of sesame seeds on one loaf.

As long as you write down which loaf is which, it is easy to track your trial - and the seeds make a tasty addition!

Farmer's Market Set-Up

Hey Everyone,

Question for you:  I was recently asked to participate in a local farmer's market and wanted to ask the community for advice on essential set up materials for my booth.  Outside of a table, a pop-up tent, and a POS are there some must have items you've found that make selling easier?
