      I'm going to juice some onions to start a batch of onion vinegar, I"m just hoping it doesn't smell up the basement.

        I didn't start getting the email offers from Bakers Authority until early May, though I first ordered from them a couple months earlier than that, so I'm guessing this is a relatively new marketing tool for them.

          I've been getting them since I ordered from them, I don't know if there's a way to subscribe to emails with those offers.

          The 15% off offer expired on May 31st.

            Baker's Authority sends out a new offer every few weeks, I think the last one was 15% off on 5 pound bags of flour.

            I ordered my medium rye flour from them and it has met my expectations.

              It makes sense that the low blades might be a little more interchangeable than the high ones for things like slicing and shredding, which have to be at exactly the right height.

              I've probably used our Cuisinart more in the last few months (mostly to shred cabbage for sauerkraut) than in the previous two or three years.

                Most likely COVID-19 will never be 'over', the more appropriate question is: how well is it being dealt with?

                In NYC and a number other places the answer was for a while "not very well". Conditions have improved in most of these places. But in places where the numbers weren't as bad, numbers can (and will) go up even if it is being dealt with about as well as can be expected at this point in our knowledge of the virus and with the arsenal of tools currently at our disposal.

                Herd immunity, either from exposure to the virus or a vaccine, is not going to solve all our problems, and some of the control measures are likely to be around a LONG time. How our economic system adjusts to that is an ongoing challenge.

                  There was a recall on Cuisinart cutting blades a while back, maybe you got a replacement then?

                    Well, a new 14 cup Cuisinart would cost anywhere from about $180 up, but I'm no expert on which models are the good ones.

                      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.
