Oh, I’ve used that book. It’s quite good.

Yeast can totally survive freezing. You can preserve a sourdough starter by freezing part of it.

I suspect no. The top crust did have a certain finish to it that must have been due to the brine, but it will probably be just as tasty without it. The brine really contributes to the salty taste. I went easy with it, just lightly brushed it on the surface and only used about half. I’m going to try it again with no…

I’ve never been interested enough to read any of his other stories

I made the focaccia from saltfatacidheat.com. It’s really salty. She uses a lot of salt in the dough, then there is a brine, then there is flaky salt on top. I’m going to try it again with less salt. 

Ah, I see that since you can’t counter my argument, you are going to change it. Fine. I’m not that interested in straw arguments, so I’ll let you have the last word.

Good question. Why *are* you so entitled? People go out to eat for any number of reasons, which might included eating mac ‘n’ cheese or grilled cheese that they don’t have to make themselves, but I submit that none of those reasons include maximizing the amount they leave for a tip, and that is true whether they order…

Who else read “Dong?”

I had a friend in undergrad who never seemed to feel the cold. He wore a t-shirt in 50 degree weather. He’d break out a windbreaker if it went down to the 30s. Meanwhile, I’ve gloves, a hat, and a scarf when it drops below 70.

And a fair number of POS (point of service machines, ie, cash registers) are hard coded with menu items and prices, so they aren’t flexible enough to handle special pricing.

His managerial skills SUCKED, according to our server, and the other servers who were older, but because he was good at kissing the asses of certain folks in ownership, he was—of course—management material.

How do you feel about adults who order appetizers as meals?

Well, a basic grilled cheese, which some of us who are approaching 50 actually like, should cost less than a burger, anyway.

It’s refreshing to see a white man criticized for grunting.

Oh, in that case, I guess there weren’t dangerous temperatures after all. You should call whoever spread that rumor and let them know.

Wait, don’t you mean the other way around? Bc gas engines are easier to start in the cold than diesel.

Cops generally recommend that bystanders NOT intervene so they themselves don’t get dragged into the altercation—which is basically what happened to these two women. There are ways to verbally defuse a situation, but they won’t always work. The best bet is consider whether involving cops will help or hurt, and if it…

Is she still saying that once you are naked, you can’t change your mind about sex?

If you could hear what you sound like to a slightly older person right now ... Like most millenials, you only know what’s going on with your own peer group and don’t bother taking those blinders off to find out what was going on the world before you entered it. Dr. Ruth isn’t a sex therapist for teenagers. Dr. Ruth is…

99 cent only chain. The wine is not 99 cents, though. It’s $4-5.
