To go boldly . . .

I would love to see it.

I must confess I'm in love with my family Swedish rye - brown sugar, molasses, fennel and anise seed - the aroma and taste of this stuff is pretty darn incredible.

It's worth the kneading.

OK - but I'm not arm wrestling with you!

We had a one-room apartment, second floor. The roof made the ceilings, or maybe the walls, depending, into sloped surfaces. Such windows as we had came up almost to the knee before the slope began. Our heat was in the same 'zone' as the downstairs morons, who had a two-year-old and kept their place at 72 F. So we were over 80, even in winter. In summer? My God. You could go naked and sweat like a dog. We went naked a lot, too, since we were newlyweds.

Anyway, a better place to rise bread couldn't have been imagined. over 80, and no breath of moving air. We did loads and loads of bread. Every kind. Made our own English muffins. Everything.

This thread made me remember that silly ass apartment, so full of the smell of yeast bread and of love.


Kneading is a tactile thing. The hands learn what the dough should feel like.





The landlord lost the building in a card game. Really! At the Tarratine Club. Our new landlord raised our rent by some 300%, so we moved to a larger place.

And LJ and I could have been there yesterday. We were at the track. LJ only had four hours of sleep (five the night before; work ) or we would have stopped by. Oh, well............

Damn!

One of these days we shall connect.

Then again, both kids were sick the entire last week with the flu. Maybe it's a good thing you didn't stop by.

Kharma or is it Dharma is a good thing.

Last weekend in St. Louis was great. I went clubbing (had nothing to do with baby seals) with friends and heard four blues bands. LJ was working but she heard more stories from some of the other participants.

So the consensus is that I'm evil. I can live with that.

You already knew that.

Everyone already knew that.

It's becoming obvious that I need a new group of innocents to pervert.

Hang out in the Newbies forum. Or the How to place.

The AH is already perverted and twisted.

Yeah, but here isn't the only place I frequent. Perverting live is more fun than online.

Sorry - had to run to the store for a moment.

Strange weather. What's it doing out your way?

Raining the hell out of us. Lakeside property out the back.

Supposed to snow by morning, but not much.

Wichita Region had a Solo today and it was pleasant for awhile and then started drizzling and shit. We were over and drinking beer before the rain really came in.

 

[blackhaus7]

Oh, yeah. I ran for RE again and lost (which means I'm RE again for this year).

There are watches and warnings starting around us. Ice, perhaps?

I am tired of winter.

Really, really tired.

Pretty fucking tired.
