According to the Internet, and I don’t know how accurate this is, it means snow is coming.

I actually looked at the weather forecast, and it says that rain and snow should be coming on Saturday.

We will see what happens. Until then, I will keep logging my weather daily.

We have RAIN here.

Snow now, but it'll be gone in a day or two. I just saw a forecast high of 48(!) for our area for Christmas Day. Of course, that can change, but wow!

We are down 40 INCHES of snow from this time last year.

I made grownies today. I didn't have any over ripe bananas, so I left that out. Next time, I'll look through the freezer more thoroughly; the bananas add a lot to the taste and texture.

I was amazed at how much more repeatable my bread baking was when I started weighing my flour.

Another thing: I had bread flour, and used x amount of that for hubby's loaf of bread. (I'm gluten free, so mine is different.) Then I found a different brand of organic all purpose flour and used the same amount. It didn't bake the same. I had to take out a small amount, about a 1/4 cup, which got me to my current amount of flour, 338 grams.

One other thing I learned: Sea salt is not interchangeable with "regular" table salt. I didn't have any regular salt, so I used the same amount of sea salt. Salt plays a role in how bread rises. This stuff didn't rise nearly as well, and was DENSE. Using sea salt was the only change. I went back to table salt, and the loaf went back to being its wonderful self.

It works better if you weigh the salt too.

It works better if you weigh the salt too.

Ok, now I gotta go see what 1-1/4 teaspoons of table salt weighs. I have a kitchen scale that weighs grams, but I'm not sure how accurate it is at that end of the scale.
................
1 teaspoon, 7 grams. Add on 1/4 t, and it thought about it for a few seconds, then changed to 9 grams.

Interesting....
