When I re-upped for Baker's Rewards, they sent me 2 $10 rewards, one expiring on the 1st, the other on the 2nd - I'll wait til the end of next week to see if they have any items I'm looking for back in stock, but I'm not holding my breath
Thank you Joan! How are you holding up in SW Georgia with all the crazy weather and spikes of virus in your neck of the woods? I'm just waiting for spikes within the next couple of weeks because everybody from everywhere has decided to come to the coast and congregate in groups with no masks. We're all just trying to stay out of the way.
Chocomouse - KAF is also out of Superblend 10 right now.
Happy Birthday, Sarah! Glad I came back in time to wish you one. I hope it's a great day. It's also great to hear from Cass.
Finally got one right! Probably helped living in Ireland which kept reminding me that a liter is larger than a quart.
I picked up my order from Harris Teeter this am and they did not get in the KAF AP (not surprised), but I had a $10 rewards to use before the 1st, so I went to KAF - I was able to order 4 of the 3 lb. bags - the only kind of flour they had. But, that should tide me over as I still have more than 5 lbs of bread flour and some WWW and Irish meal, but you can't make yeasted bread with that.
KAF is also out of Bakewell baking powder, but Thrive Market has some, so I'll probably try theirs.
DL said I was welcome to share with you. She has 2 grandchildren - a grandson from her son and granddaughter from daughter. She cares for them during the week. Because they are in Upstate New York, they are all being really, really careful. Her daughter's BIL got COVID in April and the last time we talked about it (early May) he had a fever and cough - he works in healthcare, naturally. I'm assuming he's better since she hasn't said anything.
She's still baking, and looks out for her elderly neighbor - outside and 6 feet away and the weather is getting good enough to start gardening up there.
I had no idea! Got that one wrong too.
We’re just doing grilled cheese with some veges from the garden. We’ll be more adventurous tomorrow after I pick up my order from Harris Teeter. I placed it for a 9am pick-up tomorrow in case they were out of things today. I got a call telling me they’d filled my order and they were out of things and I asked to please double check in the morning to see if any of the items come in over night. I pointed out that that was why I ordered for tomorrow, not today. They will check - I’ll be interested to see if they get any KAF in tonight
Sarah - Happy Birthday to your son!
I always think of Cindy around her birthday - April 22nd, but almost daily. She was so supportive of me when my Michael died and they were able to come visit me here while they were still able to go to the race track. I miss her, but her think she’s still giving me strength - I want share with her how far I’ve come.
Dachshundlady still hangs out on the private Facebook group and spends lots of time with her family. I will give her your message.
Thanks Len!
I got it wrong - I remember picking chestnuts off the ground with the boys when they were little, but It didn’t dawn on me that that’s why there would have been a couple of trees
This week I ordered a gift card for my niece for my mom to mail her for her birthday/graduation. The order said it would be here on the 21st (2 day UPS AIR) on Thursday they said it would be here Friday - I had been following the tracking and it had arrived in Jacksonville an hour and a half South of me by 8:30 am. When I checked in the evening, it was in Atlanta! 5-6 hours northwest? Then it went to Columbus in the western part of the state and finally to Brunswick - our local hub. It did arrive early in the afternoon.
Thank you chocomouse!
Haven’t tried it yet, but I have to put in an order next. I can add it in. I’m always looking for healthy carbs.
Thank you both - it feels like home
Thanks, that was what I thought. I too have been reading about using less yeast in general and I must admit the recipe I made today could have been made with less yeast. It was the honey oat pan de pie from KAF and the recommendation was to scale that recipe up by 50% all ingredients except yeast to fit my larger pan de mie. I used 2 teaspoons and I think I could have used less.
I've also been following the Baking Steel blog and videos quite a bit and Andris (the owner) likes to do longer ferments with ¼ teaspoon yeast - Mrs Cindy had given me one of their baking steels when they first came out - we love it - we make pizza quite a bit. And, I made pita a couple of weeks ago. Need to try their naan - was disappointed in a naan recipe I tried. I also want to try their English muffins.
