Might be worth checking to see if you can find a new (or used) bowl online.

I've never had an English Muffin bread that tasted anything like an English Muffin. That doesn't mean they don't taste good, just not like an English Muffin.

People who teach test-taking strategies say that your first impulse is often your best choice.

I'm making a loaf of Austrian malt bread today.

The front finally rolled through after supper, dropping the temperature over 20 degrees in under an hour.

It is supposed to be cool tomorrow, so I may be able to get some baking done.

We had waffles with the strawberry jam we made a week ago. Yummmmm.

When I was at Hy-Vee the other day, they had one pound packages of both SAF red and SAF Gold. I didn't see any jars of yeast, so maybe there's still a jar shortage.

While raw honey is both antibacterial and antifungal, due in part to the hydrogen peroxide in it, it doesn't prevent mold from growing in bread, and I'm never sure if it slows down the rate at which bread goes moldy.

I bought 15 pounds of medium rye from Bakers Authority for around $30, come cooler weather I may just buy a 50 pound bag, it'd only cost another $35 or so.

I may also check with the local Sysco office and see what they carry. Last I saw they still weren't allowing picking orders up at their warehouse.

The specific type of toilet paper my wife prefers hasn't shown up in stores yet, and I don't find it online, either, I'm afraid the Cottonelle people may have discontinued several types to increase production on other types and I don't know if they'll resume making this one.

I've also had buttermilk last well beyond the expiration date, but I've also had some go very quickly, probably not stored right somewhere along the way. What I watch for is mold up the inside of the carton or an off smell, either of those and it is time to toss it.

Getting too warm for chili here. In the 90's again today, I'm planning burgers on the grill.
