You should try it, it's actually pretty fun.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, maybe I will. I keep seeing recipes that start with scalding milk, and that weirds me out, so.

... But given a good speaker with an authoritative presentation, I'm not surprised there was hesitation! But what is great is that you then engaged and drew out their concerns; that's more likely to convince your audience in the longer term.
One thing that I appreciate in an opposing argument is the willingness of the arguee to respect me and want to sway me instead of telling me how wrong I am.
Thanks. Yes, I think respect for non-crazy opposing views is essential. As a practical matter, this is even more true when the opposing views are a majority view, and the view you are advancing is a minority one.

I'm taking the camera so there will be pictures. I've probably lost my mind. But it's for Special Olympics so it's a good cause.

Go you!!! I was thinking I might want to do one of these sometime.
I went to a 45-minute spin class this morning and it kind of didn't feel like enough of a workout. weird. Either I did it wrong or I'm too used to 90 minute hard yoga classes.
Sox or sarameg, if you're around, did you hear that WYPR has fired Steiner??? It's shocking!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Jesse, regular bread is easy-peasy! And scalding milk is not necessary. My recipe starts with warm water and yeast in a bowl. (Actually, milk is not an ingredient at all; that's a specialty bread called "milk bread," that also involves eggs.)
I made knead-y bread yesterday, AIFG!
