Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
We're doing the Polar Plunge this afternoon. I should already be drinking.
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!

Yikes! Good luck w/that!
Yeah, maybe I will. I keep seeing recipes that start with scalding milk, and that weirds me out, so.
What? No. That's crazy.
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!
I swear to god, every bread recipe in Joy starts with scalding milk.
The only thing that I have had ruin regular bread is when my apartment is frigid. But other than that, pretty easy and I have never scaled milk.
Guys, I think I have msbelle's lingering cold. I have been sick since last Saturday, and while I seem to be over the crazy mind part of the cold, I am still sneezing. And blowing my nose. And trying to sew costumes when about every minute I actually have to wipe my nose because it is running. This is going to drive me insane, but I absolutely cannot take any more days off to deal with blowing my nose every 30 seconds! I think I need something stronger than sudafed.
Jesse- I use the recipe on the back of the King Arthur Wheat Flour package, and there is no milk scalding. There is, however, molasses or honey.

ooh I should try that sometime soon! I have this amazing honey that my friend brought me from Denmark and I've been struggling with finding ways to use it.

New Joy, p. 744, Quick-Rising White Bread? (For 6 hour values of quick-rising.)
My New Joy falls open to that page, since I make bread so regularly, and have come around to the idea that baking, much moreso than any other cooking, deserves to be respected as the exact chemistry it is. I very rarely play loosey-goosey with baking recipes.
