Glad to get that resolved, Dana!
Thanks, Laura. Maybe I'll do more after. Could happen.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'll be seeing WW in 3 hours! I should get out and run some errands before then.
I am skipping my 30 yr HS reunion this weekend.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Went to the Washington Folk Festival today(and will be going tomorrow as well). Weather was lovely.

I gave the talked-up local restaurant with the enormous bland steaks another try tonight, this time for the beef tamales that everyone goes crazy over. I've had much better tamales out of TV dinners.
I don't know what's going on, usually I tend to like the food at places with really good reviews and when I dislike the food the restaurants tend not to last. But it's as if this one hypnotizes customers into believing the food is great and I'm not susceptible for some reason.

What the heck is a proving drawer? Do you put a mathematical concept in, wait 30 minutes, and then open it up to find the proof?

You put dough into proof (rise) It keeps it at a consistent temperature and you don't have to go hunting for or try and create a warm spot

Someone should write a thriller called Fermat's Last Proving Drawer combining the excitement of number theory with the beauty of baking.
ETA I still prefer "proofing" but I'm not sure it works as well in this context

I don't think I'd need a proving drawer, particularly. I usually put my bread in the fridge to rise overnight. A slower, cold prove is supposed to be better for flavour.
When a proving drawer would be useful is if you were trying to bake under time pressure, which of course they're always having to do on Bake-Off.

I'm early for my self-defense class and there is an ice cream shop next door. Not that I want ice cream, but I am tempted to get a cone just so I can tell the server, "You should be very proud."
