I like this time at night on HBT

[Dan]

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!

I truly believe you will enjoy this book, Mike.

Daniel Leader is a guy like you. Struck out on his own, built a business and perseveres through hard times. Doing (I'm supposing like you) something he loves.

Let's talk about Levan in a few months?

I was going to post this in the bread making thread, but I'm on my touch pad and I cant find the thread. My question is: I see lots of posts re using a % of spent grains in bread. Is there any reason not to use a % of fresh grains such as 2 row or Maris crushed into flour?

I don't see why that would be an issue,I've used spent grain,wort,dme and beer In various breads.

Howdy late niters! Hope all is well. Nice to see BobbiLynn checking in. I see the regular band of misfits also keeping this directionless thread moving slowly to nowhere. I'm happy to do my part. In that vein, here's the awesome Bill Withers, with an upbeat note for your late night soundtrack.

LRB, would you mind PM'ing your address to me again?

How do you peel garlic?

I had this conversation with my sister-in-law about 20+ years ago. I told her all you need ot do is take a clove and lay it on your cutting board. Then lay the butcher blade flat over the clove. Give the blade a smack. It breaks the layer paper that covers the clove and pretty much, the skin falls off.

Anybody else do that?

I always cut the hard root part off the bottom and find the skin usually comes of in one whole piece after that

 

[ChefRex]

I guess I do a hybrid version, cut the end off and a light smack under the blade.
Any reason to bring this up Dan?

These will always be caramel delites to me.... Either or they are delicious

I prefer garlic over sweets, does this say anything about me?

Agree with you on this Dan.

+1 not sure where I learned it, but it's the way I've done it for over 20 years

 

[Dan]

Was so funny to see my sister in law peel garlic. I showed her how to do it but she was stuck in her ways. We all are I suppose.

 

[HefeHood]

Stuck in my ways...always sleep on the right side of the bed..at home and traveling. Toilet paper comes off the roll from the bottom. Only mayo in my house is Best Foods.

Haha.. Think I do understand. There's a thread here about, ef what is it callled, something about obsessvive disorderr. os .. something.

My mind only.. sure we all do some things out of habit. When the need becomes to strong and everything we do must be controllled.. I think that is called Obcessive Compulsion Disorder, or something ike that.

Left side, Hellman's, and top. I guess we are all different. :rockin:

Inside joke? I don't get it but do sleep on my left side, if that counts. I wonder why why people prefer one side or another? Sometimes I sleep on my back.. not good. I snore like a steam train.

I believe he meant side of the bed not yours.

 

[Dan]

I believe he meant side of the bed not yours.

Very true. I always sleep on the left side of the bed when I'm sleeping with my wife. Even if I'm on a business trip and have the whole bed to myself I sleep on my left side on the left side of the bed. I have no idea why..

 

[Dan]

I'm left handed. I have no idea if that has something to do with my bedside sleeping.

 

[Dan]

I'm admittedly making some ..er.. err.. potatoes, from a box. I've made them before lately and they taste good.. Most of the products are loaded with salt, I use the one with the least salt. These things are good in a pinch but are not to be made a made a lifetime committment

Left side of the bed. I don't think I prefer it, but it's where I've been forever with a wife there. On my own, I think I hit all four corners.

If you have some extra freezer space, try making a good sized batch of real ones and freezing the leftovers in individual portions. If you let them thaw out instead of heating them to speed things up they are pretty good.

I used to make a big batch of spaghetti noodles once a week and put them in the fridge with no sauce on them. Then I could take some out, add sauce, and nuke them for a quick side dish. You get 7-10 days in the fridge with just cooked noodles in an air tight container in the fridge. Saves a lot of time, and saturated fat like you'd get from ramen noodles.

I toss and turn. I could end up in any position that is still on the bed. I do wake up when I start to roll off.

Listened to Basic Brewing Radio's (video) on speed brewing. 1 gallon Apollo/Cent IPA in 40 Minutes from opening grain cupboard to all dishes put away and my yeast pitched. Nice.

We did a few no-sparge 10 gallon batches at about 3-1/2 hours. That's 21 minutes per gallon x 2 brewers = 42 minutes per gallon. Just sayin' and some of my best beers have been no-sparge.

BTW, TP should always be over the top. I haven't looked but have never found a single sound argument for the "other" way.

 

[Pomylka22]

I second the over the top method!

That would be perfect because no matter the situation you would always have a roll at you disposal.

Sorry, LG. Some of those are over and some are under. Which ones you think a cat would have more fun with?
