Oh god, I'm so grateful we got let out at 2:30. I almost didn't make it that far!

And now my pumpkin cheesecake bars are in the oven.

(I don't know that I've ever seen a Buffista Bread Kerfuffle)!

I feel like starting a Bread Kerfuffle, but that's just because I'm spitting mad after reading about the tech bros taking over sourdough bread baking. [link]

My favorite quote is

These tech bros, who often unknowingly operate in closed-loop communities where men elevate men (a phenomenon that is in no way limited to the tech industry), were able to insert themselves, through an outward posturing as experts, into the dominant narrative of the bread world.

Because in this year of 2018, it takes a special kind of dense to not know that you're operating in a closed-loop community like that.

bUT - in other news, would someone with more tech experience than I be willing to help me on a (customer support) job application? One of the questions is about APIs, and I don't seem to be looking at it correctly.

I skimmed that link a little, juliana, and that was enough to piss me off. Ugh. It seems like everything I hate messing up something I love.

Just googled API and I'm guessing I can't help you, but I could try.

I'm not sure you can start a kerfuffle with that, Juliana, since I doubt any of us will disagree with your stance.

Thank you, -t. I'll see if I can get everything lined up in an email, since the question is using the company's links.

Epic, I don't think we can kerfuffle over the article, but we could kerfuffle over proper ways to bake, knead, proof, etc. Or, To Add Things or To Not Add Things?

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Sparky!

I had my root canal today. I rocked it. I took some melatonin to help me relax. I had heavy metal music to listen to and I did breathing exercises before hand. I kept checking in with myself when I got tense (is that pain or pressure? It's just pressure it's ok. That is a sound a really annoying sound but it isn't hurting. Etc)

I made mashed potatoes for dinner but didnt get them smooth enough and chewed a couple chunks and that was a mistake. I stopped after that and just at the smooth parts.

To Add Things or To Not Add Things?

Oooo, yeah, I bet you could get something started with this! I'll help! Raisins = NO

Glad you got through, askye! Sounds like you were really self-aware. I've never had root canal, but after my wisdom teeth were extracted, I was a big fan of scrambled eggs.

I didn't even.rhink of scrambled eggs. I may have some later.

I am in a bread baking Facebook group and it is odd to see some of the breads the guys produce. Some of them produce bread 5hat is mostly air holes and then they get compliments on how great it looks but to me it just looks like weird.

HAHAHA once again mgmt came by to tell me I could go home early, ten minutes before I would have left anyway. So generous.
