Allow me to catch you up. I have a deviated septum in my nose. My septum is also s-shaped. This and two other problems. They may need to break my nose to fix it.

Jared having surgery? I am way behind on this thread, what's up?

Meanwhile, I get to call myself a baker again. My shoulders have healed enough to be able to bake bread again, hooray! Made 5 loaves the other day. Used one whole cup bread flour for the gluten, then about two-thirds ubleached white to one third whole wheat, proportinally. Came out soft, moist and delicious!

The bread looks good!

Do you have a slicing guide?

Very nice looking bread! Glad your shoulders are better

Arsenic? Why would that be on brown rice?

Because apparently some rice has been tested and had levels of arsenic.

I learned that the hard way! I've had plenty of experiences where I've read something and thought it was true. Later, it turned out it wasn't.

Glad you've learned a lesson a WHOLE lot of people haven't. Any time you hear, from any source, something that sounds even a little unlikely, check it out before repeating it. Sometimes it is true and more often it is not.

Nope, just my eyeballs and years of experience!

Ah yes, been there, done that! I was 18. Breathe much better after, fewer sinus problems. You'll be fine!

Now I need something else? And how does one fit their Champlain and other round loaves in the guide?
