Hahaha that’s a great sign!

Thank you!

You absolutely should if you haven’t already! The best effort to reward ratio for bread imo

I have not yet - but I will have to soon! Costco often carries oxtail and I think for a reasonable price… I’ll have to check next time we’re there.

Just finished the Food Lab by J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, and I really loved it! There are plenty of recipes in it, but it is more focused on techniques and the “why” behind a lot of things. I’d also recommend his YouTube channel super heavily.

Lemmy ;)

~4 hours iirc? Made these a couple months ago so I do not remember exactly. The test I like to use is pick them up on one end with my tongs and “bounce” them - if they split a little along the skin then they’re ready.

Go to for me and my wife - simple filling salad. Favorite greens as a base, tomato, avocado, corn when it’s in season, and chickpeas. If you have the energy you can roast the chickpeas and get them crispy, or just eat them as is out of the can (with some seasoning). Olive oil, squeeze of lemon, you’re done.

Couple favorites from my wife and I - paneer curries (especially paneer makhani), bean and cheese enchiladas, tofu tacos (shallow fry small cubes of tofu to get some texture), and a salad topped with fried chickpeas/tomato/avocado along with anything else that sounds yummy. Sometimes just a huge bowl of pasta hits too, with some simple veg added.

Still was a beautiful loaf though! You should be proud :)

When I make focaccia, I wiggle my fingers around for a big hole and dump a good bit of olive oil in there and I feel like it helps the hole crisp up and set before the rest of the bread swallows it haha.

Gorgeous color on that one as well.

Those are adorable and look delicious!

Sounds amazing! Things taste a little better when they come from your own yard. And finding steaks in the freezer is always a great surprise.

Thank you!!

Thank you!! This loaf is actually from a couple of years ago, I haven’t baked in a while so I’ve been dreaming of past loaves…

I didn’t even consider the timing… I’m so sorry! 😭

I think people reacting extremely negatively without fact checking is exactly what got our country into this state…
