I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The final rise of bread dough after kneading and shaping and before baking is called proofing. At least, in my head it is proofing and not proving but now I don't know where I got that.

Are fan ovens a standard in Britain?

I have wondered that myself!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Proofing does sound less like the food is undergoing a test.

Holy shit, you guys. That was a seriously powerful play I just saw. Elements of Waiting for Godot crossed with the book of Exodus in the context of #BLM. Wow.

I feel like I could swing Broadway tickets, and swing the travel, but a hotel is just a bridge too far unless i give up my other fun traveling to zoos for the summer.

Have you looked into AirBnB?

I'm pretty sure "fan" means they're using a convection oven.

I do not want to go into movies until I see WW, but has anyone seen and reports of the all women screenings? anything on the guy or guys who bought tickets?

eta - I see the screening in NYC is not until the 8th.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm kind of sad that a proving oven isn't where dough battles other dough to determine who's the best.

Are fan ovens a standard in Britain?

Are they not in the US? My electric oven has two heater settings, fan and normal. If you're using the fan, the oven tends to heat up more quickly and the heat relations in the oven are different, so fan temperatures are usually 20 degrees C lower than normal ovens to stop things burning.

All this baby hippo talk is a bit confusing.

No, I've never heard of a fan setting in the oven! And GBBO is the first time I heard of proving drawers.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

We have a convection setting on our oven with a fan, but no, it's not a standard feature.
