If I make bread again I'll likely use the bread maker for the kneading and hold times, then bake it in the oven. I don't like the size and shape of the bread maker results. I want it in a normal loaf pan, or laid out on a stone. Right now I don't make it because the aroma convinces me that a loaf is clearly a single serving.

Yikes, billytea! Very glad it wasn't worse.

And, in news from Australia, why did the koala cross the road ... or at least try to.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Yikes, billytea! I join the chorus of "glad it wasn't worse."
thank goodness for seatbelts and airbags
Hear, hear!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, billytea, that sounds awful for everyone. I'm so glad it wasn't worse, but still. That's plenty bad enough.
Dealing-with-all-the-yikes~ma to msbelle, in abundance.
Things I am jealous of: Epic's trivia night full of HP and Friends instead of completely obscure STEM questions (which the lab assistants did okay on, but even they weren't great; these were like a US history trivia night focusing exclusively on John Jay's childhood tutors), and shrift's rye bread.

Ha! Yeah.
billytea, I'm glad it was no worse, but that's understandably upsetting.
It's going to 50 whole Fahrenheit degrees here today. Practically spring!

Unrelated to the ongoing conversation: I went to bed last night thinking someone should do a version of that "Friday" song from whatsername, Rebecca Black?, but make it "Tuesday" and I still think it's a good idea.
My cat just bit the charging cable and pulled it out of my laptop. I knew she didn't like me working but that is distressingly to the point.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Oh, billytea, how scary! I'm so glad it wasn't worse.

That's what I do. I'll damage my wrists if I knead bread, so I use the bread machine for the kneading and first rise, and then turn it out into the pan for the second rise and baking.

EpicTangent, thanks for reminding me about Atropa's excellent review rewordings! Sweet sweet "search" function led me right to them and one in particular will be helpful I'm sure. Now I just need to figure out how to say "my job seems to keep changing and I'm not sure exactly what it is at this point much less what it will be for the balance of the year so I have no idea what my Objectives might be"...well, that and actually write the thing but I am almost done with the psyching myself up to do it. Almost.

Yow, billytea, thank goodness that accident didn't turn out any worse!

Jackson bit through my laptop's original power cable to the point that it was no longer charging. I had to buy a length of flexible plastic tubing from a hardware store to protect the replacement cable from him.
