Check out the forums on The Fresh Loaf. Some suuuuper knowledgeable people there. It can be intimidating at first but is a great resource.

I’m on a plane about to take off to see my family. Is it weird that I have bread dough hanging out in my suitcase? It needed to ferment for 24 so I made it yesterday for tonight’s dinner. Will be interesting to see if the altitude change affects it. Here it is before rising... Hopefully it’s not busting out of its…

I have four horses and it’s pretty standard practice in the horse world to put instructions for them in your will, along with money to support them. Obviously they are WAY more expensive and more difficult to place than a dog or cat so it makes sense, but I’ve recently added my dog too. I’ve directed that my life…

I have been hoping with all of my being that this kind of shady behind closed doors business really happens... Like, I hope there is some secret cabal who meets by torchlight in a secret conference room underneath the Lincoln Memorial who has made sure that Trump has fake codes... Or that there are multiple codes…

At risk of being a conspiracy nutjob, I am just short of 100% positive he’s in on it. Everything he’s said about rigging, his awkward ass statements and deflections about his ties to Putin during the campaign, and now his condemnations of the CIA and any attempt to investigate... That’s some shit a guilty ass person…

That short was actually really fucking brilliant and I’m pretty sure it was spot on. I’m shocked that he hasn’t tweeted maniacally about it, but I suspect it may have flown right over rotten mandarin head.

You can do that here in WA too. Hope you took him up on it! Love me some venison and deer jerky is the bomb!

YES!!! That’s exactly where I want... No, NEED to go right now.

Ugh, I needed this open thread tonight for a dumb vent. I got into it with this guy this morning on a friend’s fb about abortion. I feel like I need to speak out but fuck, I’m so tired of arguing with uninformed brick walls. And I’m SO TIRED of white male opinions. I give zero fucks about how they feel or what they…

Ugh yes.... Came down with it on Wednesday, “worked from home” yesterday (watched Netflix), and got stir crazy today despite still feeling like crap... Today we had our first snowstorm and our first decent snowfall in the last couple of years and I went crazy.... Went for a snow ride on my horse, took the dog for a…

YUM! Those loaves look amazing! Fellow baker here... I made these beauties the other week... They came out soooo good, and best crumb I’ve produced so far!

My mom got hers done in September... I think she’s glad she had it done before all of this craziness. The only upside of her living in a red border state though is that she can go to Mexico for care.... A lot of the retired people in their friends group go there for dental care already. How sad is that? People are…

I had a doctors appointment today to get the ball rolling on an IUD because this terrifies me. She steered me toward Skyla because it’s smaller and I’ve never had kids but it only lasts 3 years. I’m thinking about calling her in the morning to do either Mirena or copper. I feel like I need something that gets me…

First I’ve heard of it too... Can’t believe this didn’t make national news. Disgusting.

Ugh, yes. I was hoping it would lift to some extent but it’s still here, as strong as ever.

That video just keeps on giving and giving and giving... What a psycho.

Personally I vote for both.... But I have no self control when it comes to cute fuzzy things :-)

Farm girl here - if a garbage can makes it easier/cleaner go for it, but hay will be fine as long as it stays dry and up off the floor. So if you have a garage just put it on a pallet and you’re good to go!

Argh! I cannot get snap chat to recognize my animals faces! That’s basically the only reason I downloaded it, being an old and what not.

I have like a billion chickens and my horse vet showed me this trick once when she was out. It really does work and is pretty hilarious!
