I ran 4 miles, donated blood, baked several dozen cookies for a Saturday wedding and made digital layouts for photo albums. Did not do any actual work, though. <br /><br />02. I would recommend reading the Tassajara bread book intro. You may skip the poorly written poetry if it offends your senses, but they give good tips on bread handling. If you use a stand mixer with a bread hook, the actual kneading is only about 10 minutes long, unless you have pent up aggression in which case you can go longer. <br /><br />03. Only 3 or 4, I think. And now I'm struggling to remember which ones, besides MoV (unforgettable, because I saw it at the Globe). I'm sadly remiss with play going. I have watched more film versios of Hamlet than I even care to remember. rachel (heart of light)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134668.post-37029483430797292012-06-18T14:03:20.000-07:002012-06-18T14:03:20.000-07:0001 Read the books, pickle the peas, walk long and ...01 Read the books, pickle the peas, walk long and breezily<br />02 I am; yes, but they are *secrets*<br />03 May I count the 2,372.7 times I watched Twelfth Night rehearsals in high school?<br />04 Nearly always<br />05 No<br />06 NoAmanda Moonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134668.post-87006032456229782562012-06-18T15:49:20.000-07:002012-06-18T15:49:20.000-07:00"...the experienced breadmaker can soon judge..."...the experienced breadmaker can soon judge for himself, and if there is a little less or a little more kneading done than required, it does not matter. I have used the electric mixer a great deal, but never for the entire kneading procedure. I rather enjoy taking the dough from the mixer and finishing it off by hand. It seems to me that it gives the bread a better texture, but this may be my imagination. I have many friends who would not dream of kneading by hand any longer now that they have a dough hook.

Hunter's The Whale which might've been the best theatrical experience I've ever had. Well done theater makes me really happy (and the set design was unbelievable- I'd've sworn the stage was actually my friend's crummy apartment). The Whale took itself to NY and is playing at Playwrights Horizons later this year, incidentally. 05: Stunning admission coming from someone I think once referenced "The Fuck Shop" somewhere and yet how would you know? I'm probably oblivious to at least several dozen movie samples at the beginning of metal songs myself. 06: All I know is that a really good Slate article summarizing all the feminist-theory-related criticism of Alien ended with the author pondering whether Noomi Rapace in her underwear in Prometheus was "an image of post-feminist empowerment... or just another space honey to delight the male gaze..." "Space honey."

You dump flour, yeast, and water into a large (huge) bowl and fold it on top of its self every fifteen minutes. You do this about five times. Let it rise in the fridge for a few nights, then bake off. Its my favorite bread to make. I'll have to find the recipe now.Melissanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134668.post-24881442228744649032012-07-12T07:53:17.000-07:002012-07-12T07:53:17.000-07:00Re.

I taught a friend to bake bread right before I left SF, and the recipes we used were a modified version of the no-knead, and the Smitten Kitchen pumpernickel. I figure the absurd simplicity of the one and the preposterous complexity of the other nicely bookend the spectrum of breadmaking, if breadmaking can be considered as a spectrum, and not as some kind of multidimensional gradient with other extremes at baguettes, babka, and chapatis.<br /><br />(Also, my breadmaking student is a robotics engineer. I figured the pumpernickel would be the robotics engineering of bread.)Hannahnoreply@blogger.com
