Today I learned about cluster figs, a close relative of the common fig, but they grow huge and make their figs in bunches. I wondered why they aren't more popular, but I guess they have less desirable agricultural qualities and aren't considered as tasty. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ficus_r...

So I was searching for sourdough recipes and everything is "no knead" but you have to do like multiple "folds" (which definitely isn't kneading) with half hour rests in between and it's way more annoying than kneading, especially when I have a mixer with a dough hook.

So I searched for kitchenaid mixer knead sourdough bread recipe and hey look, there's a recipe right on KitchenAid's website! So I'm reading through and this is definitely slop:

This is a pretty good chill cover of A-Ha's Take On Me. Gave me the goosebumps.

Making some irreversible cuts to this walnut slab. Praying I don't screw it up.

I want to make sourdough bread, but I'm also lazy and impatient. So I just had an idea of making pseudo sourdough bread, where I add sourdough culture (or maybe discard) to a dough, but also use quick rise yeast and make it like a quick rise yeast bread, still getting flavor from the sourdough starter but not waiting ages and hoping to time it just right when the dough is at the proper amount of rise to bake, not over proofed, etc.

Any thoughts?

Anyone ever used roasted chicory in a beer?

#HomeBrewing

So I've got some cheap mango nectar that I'm gonna dump into a keg and top up with water to make a seltzer/soda. But I got to thinking that I could add some more flavors to that water, by boiling some cypress boughs in it, and/or some other herbs/spices?

I have tons of fennel seed, mint and lemon balm are starting to leaf out, mugwort? elderflower?
