This is the best sourdough Audrey II has produced yet. Instantly visible strands and fermentation (look at those massive bubbles), same size as boules I made before, but using only 75% of the ingredients. And the easiest, CLEANEST process so far. @BakeWithJack is a genius.
His method of starting with a less hydrated dough and adding moisture throughout by stretch-and-folding it with WATER💦 as lubricant, left hands and surfaces squeaky clean. This neatest of hacks has produced the very best results. Thank you @BakeWithJack.

Have been rewatching original Star Trek, Season 1. The stories are SO good. Although it’s probably testament to the low budget that they mostly involve a powerful entity taking over the mind of a human-looking actor. But I love how rooted in spooky horror they are.
I also love that they obviously thought William Shatner was SUCH AN EARTH-SHATTERING HUNK, they tore his top to shreds at every possible opportunity. Or maybe he volunteered.

And I had no idea that the first series was made by Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz’s company! Imagine that.
LOOOOK 👀

It’s a BAFFLING alien creature.

Definitely not a Labrador puppy in some sort of onesie, wondering wtf these people are doing.

Rishi Sunak, in the final third of his statement, crossed over from reassuring and sensible to peacocking “aren’t we the bestest?”. Got the tone on this one quite wrong. The first political bum note I’ve seen him hit.
Sunak keeps saying how “generous” he‘s been. He keeps using that word. He seems to be struggling to reconcile hawkish fiscal ideology with the scale of this crisis.

It isn’t about generosity. It’s about trying to limit an economic catastrophe. It’s not “a kindness” by the gov’t.
I wonder if there is another gov’t in the whole world that has used an information press conference on the #COVIDー19 pandemic to announce a tax rise.

A grey day like today demands egg’n’lemon chicken soup.

When I was little, because dill leaves look like chicken footprints, I was convinced a ghost chicken climbed out of my soup and pecked at the bread. It became a recurring Mama/Alex joke, with increasingly elaborate set-ups.
We usually make this Greek national comfort dish with rice, but today I used “trahana” - a tiny pasta made from wheat and yoghurt and sun-dried, it has a gorgeous fermented umami taste. An ancient food developed as a way to preserve dairy and used by troops on military campaigns.
And just so you know I practice what I preach, this generous meal for six, was made with ONE chicken leg and thigh and the onion, carrot, leek peel, plus bones, offcuts etc kept in my “discard stock” freezer bag. The bones from this piece of chicken, have gone into the next bag.

if you've been thinking of #baking your own bread at home during These Difficult Times, and are interested in #sourdough, here's a thread on how to get started, and some tips and tricks i've learned over the last ~decade of wrangling sourdough.
first things first: all you need for sourdough bread is flour and water. almost any flour will do, with varying quality of results. plain bread flour (the kind in big sacks) is fine. whole wheat is fine. rye is fine. spelt is fine. whatevs. you'll get some kind of bread.
Almost any sourdough bread you make yourself will be better than storebought, cheaper than storebought, last longer at room temperature than store bought, and will give you a frisson of apocalypse-surviving domestic badassery. Even if you suck at it.

Origins of the Russia investigation and the role of Halper the Walrus: "O Oysters, come and walk with us!"
The Walrus did beseech.
"A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk,
Along the briny beach:
We cannot do with more than four,
To give a hand to each."
"It seems a shame," the Walrus said,
"To play them such a trick,
After we've brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!"
“I weep for you," the Walrus said:
"I deeply sympathize."
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.

THREAD. I want to talk to you about what it was like to grow up in Scranton, Pennsylvania, as a Roman Catholic, and what's helpful or not helpful to say to folks/communities in times like there where yet another hideous ring of abuse has been exposed.
I grew up in Scranton. It's a heavily Catholic town -- with parishes & parish schools in every neighborhood (at least when I was still growing up), and with most families taking church really seriously. I know my family did. I missed church <10x in my ENTIRE LIFE before college.
I was, myself, a very visibly Catholic kid (I'm now athiest). I served the televised masses at St. Anne's Basilica, "starred" in the weekly children's mass on TV, attended Catholic school, sang in Catholic youth choirs, won the Bishop's Lay Award for my service to the church.

Yo my dudes I'm procrastinating on revising my book and my looming deadline so I'm gonna thread again and tell y'all about the invention of kabuki theater because it is #WILD

Let me tell you the story of a woman

and her incredible pants
The place: JAPAN, OBVIOUSLY
The time: THE DAWN OF THE 1600S. The Portuguese had arrived sixty years before, in 1543, and promptly looked around and went "oh my gOD the #AESTHETIC" which blah blah blah eventually led to an outbreak of weeaboos in 18th century Europe BUT IRRELEVANT
Because right as the Portuguese were gawking like unwashed tourists, the Japanese were eyeing them up right back and ALSO going "Oh my god the #aesthetic tho"

and then it was about ECONOMICS 😍 and TRADE EMPIRES 😍😍
