This time I kneaded it in the Kitchen Aid, I’m not sure it saved any time considering it shot flour all over me and the countertop

I had that problem when I tried to add the 2 cups of flour to the mix that had sat overnight in the refrigerator. Doesn't help that the Kitchenaid "splash guard" is a worthless POS, they should do better for the price of those mixers. I ended up taking the bowl off the mixer and used my hands to get the extra flour incorporated.

On one of the shows, they simply hung a small towel over the top of the mixer and the bowl.

That’s what I ended up doing too! I knew better but I haven’t used it in years for bread so I’m rusty.

Made them once here never did again just did not go over well

KA has a great recipe for pretzel bites. I would take them to bowling with me, and everyone loved them.

KA=King Arthur ... probably should have said KAF

We have 2 terrifically ancient lanes (wood) in the basement of our American Legion. No auto-scoring, and they break down often. There's a men's and ladies' leagues, and only about 7 teams in the ladies' league. I decided to take a year off this year.

Guess it was like 35 years ago for me arthritis in hands would probably not hold as ball anymore

One of our good bowlers a few years ago was "Mama P." She was in her early 90s. In other words, you don't get bonus points for style or speed.
