Pardon my ignorance, but isn’t ball lightning pretty rare?

If it was ball lightning, that’s a first for me. I’ve never seen it until today.

I've never seen it.

I just looked at a YouTube video of ball lightning. It looks exactly the same as what I saw.

I think you’re right.

I've heard of ball lightning, read of references to it, but never seen it.

Lucky you! That's something to remember!

Isn't that potentially the definition of pretty rare?

I also have heard of, but have never seen, ball lightning.

Yup! Lucky you, Jared! I've never seen it either.

I am having so much fun with my sourdough! Today I made two half whole-wheat SD pizza crusts, par-baked them and put them in the freezer so I can make pizza quickly next time we want pizza. They smelled so yummy! Tomorrow I want to try my hand at English muffins. Most will also go in the freezer. They will be white. I have two starters going, one white, one half whole-wheat. Here are my pizza crusts before they went in the freezer. Also, I am going to order some long bannetons. I can't cut through round loaves very well with these arthritic hands!

Temperature is in the 80s.

Have a great day!

I also baked a fresh strawberry cake. I used Ron's recipe from index. I have baked this before, but wanted to share it today with everyone regardless. My slight variation,, I topped with streusel instead of just sprinkling top with sugar. You may notice that I do like to use streusel very often.

This is a mini Play, by play. Prepared dough into a butter greased 9 inch pie pan. I drowned the berries best I could.

Do you all remember that I shot a turkey on April 15 of this year? Well, I’m finally cooking it on Monday or Tuesday. The reason is we are having a friend from Japan come over to stay with us for a few months. We want to give her a real American dinner when she gets here.

Problem is, there is a debate going on in my mind. What do you think would be better for a wild turkey, dry brine or wet brine?

My vote is a wet brine
