I fear 5 strand is above my talents

I seen a while ago on YouTube,, where a challah was made double decker.
Let me explain.
The first layer was a regular 3 strand braid. The second layer was same braid, but with thinner tubes. So,, the second layer was half the width of bottom layer.
Made an interesting shape when baked.

I am a visual person, I can’t imagine stuff like that unless I see it, strangely enough, I can turn a dice in my mind but I can’t spell or memorize cards ( kind of difficult if playing cards and you forget which card has already been dealt worst is when I forget which other card player I am teamed up with ) I can calculate very fast, but just on paper am kind of stressed out, have to do my tax return before my next operation, you can only do it online now ( I think it’s been like that for the last 4 years or so) I print out all the papers , fill them out and put the numbers in online, I am very worried when you no longer can get the forms I can’t remember anything online and scrolling just doesn’t work for me

Same way. I like paper catalogs for the same reason.

Ok, I had an interesting experience with finding a recipe.

I was reading the book “Little Women,” (Yes, I read that and several other classic books,) and they mentioned something called “pickled limes.”

I thought it was interesting, so I did research on it. I found this recipe in the process.

I guess it’s worth a try. I don’t know if I’ll like it, though.

Anyway, Recipe is here if anyone is interested.

The storm glass was right again. Last night, it predicted snow. This morning, it is snowing hard.

I usually make the dough im the morning, let rise 2 times during the day and put it in the fridge to proof in the afternoon until morning, sometimes the sourdough is so active I have to bake it in the evening

since sourdough is a wild yeast, it often has a wide variation in timing between stages for sure!

Can you take your paperwork to an accountant or other tax prep person and let them do it for you? That's what we've always done. Works for us.
