The very few occasions on which someone’s interesting reply leads me to an interesting original are far outnumbered by banal replies that clutter my timeline. Grumpy? Sure. But I wish I could control that.

@thesugarchef How strange that the tweet to which this thread is a reply has vanished. How sad too that the wisdom in the thread does not exist on, say, butterysaltedcaramel.wordpress.com where it could read and appreciated even more.

So sorry that all the great content in Heated “by Medium and Mark Bittman” is available only to people willing to pay Medium’s price. I’d much rather pay money.

Tiny Loops, Hold Me Closer — Roden Explorers Archive

Phenomenally interesting edition of his newsletter from Craig Mod, talking at length about the seductive little loops that keep us in thrall.

Well deserved lunch break for today’s class. Bread disappointed me, as I failed to take the hugely warmer weather into account. The ciabatte (left) worked out fine though. With @romefromhome @bigdonniefromlargs @brian_levine

One to welcome you, @romefromhome, @brian_levine and others coming to share a day of bread and baking.

Seems to me that if you haven’t grabbed clients on the home page, they’re probably not going to go to an About page. So maybe that should be more personal?

Seems to me that your home page is great as a professional About page. Just add some #indieweb markup like an h-card. You have a contact form, which is important, what more do you need?

Really Tonz, you shouldn’t be meddling in this stuff. I’m just going to leave this here: agro.biodiver.se/2009/05/n…

Such a busy evening.

At @eminchilli book event at the fabulous @marigold_roma with @rachelaliceroddy (can you spot her?) and many other luminaries.

Just strolling through the market on my way to test the spiffy new oven @latteriastudio for the sourdough bread course on Sunday. Still a couple of places left. Link in bio.

Lurking, Twitter, The Commons, and Private Posts

A experiment using softer flour rather than Manitoba in my Saracen loaf. Not as much oven spring and a possibly foolish crumb. Too many variables though to disentangle, because I also retarded the loaf overnight in the fridge. So what with that and t

When Google Translate lets you down (because you can’t be arsed to read what it offers).

It seems highly unlikely that the Catalogo de variedades de papa nativa de Chugay, La Libertad made “a great contribution to the National Register of Pope Native to Peru”.

Slowly developing an interest in bonsai, and came across a name that might be micro.blog/cn in a post comment. Just wondering, anyone else here interested?

The wait is over, and proved exceptionally worthwhile. Bravo @freewilliam3d

Sebastiaan has made fantastic progress towards indiewebified private posts. And it makes me feel better to read what he says about code that works, given how awful my own is.
