I like this time at night on HBT

[lschiavo]

Nice beat LG. I was bustin' my moves. It reminded me of this for some reason:





Am I way off? I like both tunes.

Hmm, that reminded me of this.

 

[lschiavo]

Yeah, we got way off track. This one reminds me of my daughter:



She sang or danced it once when she was little. She's going on 20 now.

Here is what my boys are interested in:

I gotta see what that's all about tomorrow

Yep! Looks familiar!

It's out. Feels just like every other bid I ever sent out. I FAX'ed it out too. That was the only contact info I had on the plan holders. I threw my fax machine in the dumpster a few years ago and I have to pay extra to have an internet fax number that sends a PDF to my email. Is anybody faxing anymore or are we just living in the dark ages here?

Those look pretty good! Are they small loafs or is that a large roll?
I usually make a sandwich roll around 100=110 grams.

Very small loafs. The roll is average dinner sized roll. All the bread was 2 1/2 to 3 cups of flour total.

Good luck man! I hope you get it. I have a decent little patch, paint & laminate floor project starting Monday.

I also used to pay to do the computer fax thing. I ended that service a few years ago, and now I email everything.

Thanks but it sounds like somebody from out of the area low balled it. I hope the city may try to work with the next low to try and keep some work local but I am not holding my breath. Glad you have something going. I think it will be a decent year here too once the deep freeze lets up.

Been following the thread at lunch the past few days, haven't commented much. I think I throw this thread off track occasionally so didn't want to make a random comment.

I loved making bread.. I thought I was a pretty good bread maker and maybe have been known to be a self considered expert... in reality I didn't know sh!t. I only know that now through reading, I read a lot before about bread making but ChefRex has brought a whole new level to the table with the links and ... He kept a culture going for TEN years. That's awesome! Truly.

Stauff, Ischiavo, PP, you guys are heroes in my mind. You have struck out on your own to make a business that prodives for your family. A peice of the American dream which is so lost sometimes these days. Cheers to men (and women) like you and I thank you.

Not sure the song is appropiate but it just keeps playing through my head. This isn't about cars.. it's about a man building something he believes in, who endures challenges and overcomes them, no matter the circumstances, perseveres and is willing to make sacrifices to succeed.

All, so he can provide for and keep for, a loving happy family.

With great respect,

If you must fax, try faxmaker.com. Use it at work. Scan in the document, start an email and attach the document. The fax number is the email address, ending with faxmaker.com Sends like a fax and u get a send confirmation email back. I had several vendors that would only quote from a faxed request, no email or phone! Really a PITA, they were my last choice many times.

Bread looks yummy, been a long time since I've had the bread smell in the house. Had a bread machine, seldom used it. Gone now. Great job on the ten year starter! First thing I think of is the blob..hahaha.

 

[Dan]

Wait.. maybe after re-listening to this song, might not sound like a tribute.. I just meant it to be a complement recognizing challenges, and over coming them. Guess I could have picked a different song.

 

[HefeHood]

Dan,
Been a long time since I thought of Jonny Cash. My dad used to play him and June Carter all the time. He was a great song writer and singer. You don't hear many tunes like JC's from the current country singers. Good pick.

 

[Stauffbier]

Thanks for the nice compliment Dan! I totally got the message you were sending with that song, too!

I don't know crap about making bread, but I aspire to know. A couple of days ago I joined a bread making group on facebook, and now I'm feeling intimidated. haha.. Some of those people do some really amazing things! I'll start with baby steps.

Hefe,

It's real easy to get that nice fresh bread aroma going through your home. Get some yeast, not quick rising although it will work.

Fleishman, the active one. Has a recipe on the pouch. Follow it. Kneading is nothing extraordinary. Just working the dough.

Flatten
fold
knuckles in push
turn
Flatten fold
knuckes in push
over and over for 5 minutes or so, adding a bit of flour in the beginning so the dough is not too sticky.

Follow the rest of the directions for rise time and oven temps. You'll make good bread.

Like basic brew kits, that's a start.. Might spark your interest, or you might just rather buy it.

Yep, I'm a big fan. There's a country music thread I started a while back, think Johnny Cash was the first guy I mentioned. If you're interested here's the link. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f45/my-favorite-country-songs-317888/

Mike, I made some really great sourdoughs and got into the breadmaking thing about 17-18 years ago.. I really thought I was good at it, and to be honest I was. Everybody loved and asked for my breads. But you know what? My passion made the bread, along with a solid foundation that came from reading. I think you'd like Daniel Leader's book "Bread Alone" I'm very sure you would love his book. It is not just a book about bread recipes; the book is a piece of history that includes WWII, not the war part the bread making part. I really recommend it to you.

Check it out Mike, "Bread Alone" by Daniel Leader. I don't know if there is an online version. I read the book `17 years ago. Good book.. Trust me. I'll see what I can find. Maybe a payback for the beer you sent

I made some awesome banana bread to go with breakfast for my out-of-town visitors, the ones hubby invited here from the tractor forum he belongs to. I'm not a bread maker, yet, but they oohed and ahhhed over the bread, went good with the fresh eggs, mystery meat and onion stir fry.

I was so pissed that hubby invited these people who he said are Christian missionaries and don't curse around them!! That was the hardest part, lol, a lot of "oh sh... shizammm!!!" And, "what the fu.... fun mess we got into." I took them on a tour. But we had flooding from recent rain so it was a little difficult getting around in the woods and hubby's friend made the mistake of telling me he hadn't gotten to see an alligator while in Florida. Haha, he got to see one or 2!

They said they didn't drink when I offered them a homebrew, so I said "Well, I'll open the last bottle of blackberry wine then." I added, "you won't even taste the alcohol in it." And they drank it and they loved it!!! LOL, having a drink with Christian missionaries having their first drink in 15 years! I'm surprised they didn't taste the nearly 15% alcohol in it.

We had so much fun and literally my stomach muscles are sore from laughing so much. I LOVE my new friends. Hubby would sit down to eat with us but pretty much I entertained them the 2 days. Now, they are telling people on the tractor forum how we "have it made" and more tractor people want to come see us. Haha, no....

There was the incident with the cactus the wife said I could eat, ouch!!! And the gold fish/ gold finch thing, hilarious but an inside joke now, and the guy and his dog who had not seen civilization in a long time, he come walking up from the national forest, which surrounds us. They were like kids in a candy store and I don't think they ever felt an adrenaline rush like they felt exploring with me. When we finally got back, after all day in the woods, looking at the sink holes, wild turkeys, rabbits, alligators and a bear in the distance, the wife told me she felt itchy, like she got bit by bugs. I told her it's probably ticks, get your hubby to check you later.

I can't remember the last time I had so much fun, and it was more than just what I mentioned. My driving the lawn tractor that we used to look around, though we did have to get off and walk a lot. They asked, did I have a driver's license and my answer was no and I was serious!!!!

I actually think I remember you mentioning that book in this thread a couple months back. I've had it in mind ever since.

Blessed are the days we are among friends.. I dont think that's in the bible but it sounds pretty good.

Very happy you had a good time BobbiLynn and super glad to hear you are feeling better.

Cheers my friend!

The only thing you left out is 'throw some spent grains from your last batch in the dough'. I just started making bread around 6 months ago following a similar method. I would finish brewing and always felt bad throwing 12-15 lbs of spent grain out. I now grab about 5 lbs of grain after brewing, dry it out and mix into bread, pretzels, even banana bread (my wife makes that, I just provide the grain).

This week I'm trying 'Irish red' pizza dough for the first time...

If it's not in the bible, it should be. I know they will be life-long friends, they want to take me to see some of their favorite places. They asked me questions about my hubby and I told them a little, they 100%, completely understood once they got a first hand look at things. Hubby's friend tried to visit with him, but then gave up on that idea and decided to hang with me and his wife. Hubby was glad! He knew he wouldn't be able to keep up with us. Hubby is really proud of me and the impression I made on our new real-life friends. He still can't believe I got them to loosen up after a long 2 days and drink some wine.

It's not him talking, just his advertising team but this tells a little about the guy - not all, not by a longshot; and his personal story telling and breadmaking guidance is way superior to this little advertisement crap.

...And so, Bread Alone was born. Dan opened the bakery in a small building with an old stone oven and spent the next five years learning to deal with its limitations while turning out bread. Eventually, he hired André LeFort to build brick ovens for the bakery. He had to import both LeFort and many of the materials from France—and only after battling with the planning board of the town of Boiceville. Finally, the ovens were built and today Dan and his staff produce fifteen tons of fresh bread per week.

That is a very kind gesture Dan! I would really appreciate that! Thank you!

That's actually a great story! I appreciate the fact that someone would go through that much to bake bread. It seems so simple, yet it's very important to him. Reminds me of why I started my business. Maybe I just need to go back to my roots. Thanks Dan!
