Flour water salt yeast by ken forkish6/10/2023 ![]() ![]() The flavor was less sour than I remember this bread being but quite nice. The fermentation times were just a tad longer than Forkish specified for the bulk fermentation, which could be due to my leaving out the instant yeast. I followed Forkish's procedure for mixing and stretch and folds, but I fermented the levain and the dough in my Brød & Taylor Proofing Box set at 72 dF. I modified the formula to 10% medium rye, 15% WW and 75% AP flour, and I left out the instant yeast for this bake. It is a pain au levain, but is spiked with instant yeast. As given in the book, this is a mostly white bread with a bit of whole wheat. So, I have begun revisiting some of Forkish's breads. Well, now it is Winter, and my Kitchen is about 68 dF. I figured it must be due to my warm Summer kitchen, which was in the mid- to high-70's (F). When I got Ken Forkish's Flour Water Salt Yeast and started baking from it last Summer, I found the breads and pizza doughs to be delicious, but the fermentation times for both levains and doughs was very much shorter than what were given in the book. ![]()

Socrates also argues against the use of money in a society, instead suggesting that the the rulers should insure that no one exists at any extreme end of the spectrum, because wealth inspires laziness, and poverty inspires rebellion. Socrates however responds to this overall argument by saying that the goal of the city is not to make any single person happy, but rather the city happy as a whole, and inso doing, making the individuals happy anyways. ![]() Adeimantus begins by arguing that the ruler of the city will be unhappy, given that they are not afforded certain luxuries, such as being allowed to own property, amass any private wealth, or have a mistress.

Beautifully illustrated with postcards from Steinbach's journeys, this revealing and witty book transports you into a fascinating inner and outer journey, an unforgettable voyage of discovery. "I had fallen into the habit of defining myself in terms of who I was to other people and what they expected of me." But who was she away from the people and things that defined her? In this exquisite book, Steinbach searches for the answer to this question in some of the most beautiful and exciting places in the world: Paris, where she finds a soul mate Oxford, where she takes a course on the English village Milan, where she befriends a young woman about to be married. "For years I'd made my own choices, paid my own bills, shoveled my own snow." But somehow she had become dependent in quite another way. "In many ways, I was an independent woman," writes Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Alice Steinbach. ![]() The paternus trilogy6/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Five starred this one right out of the gate.” -Superstardrifter ![]() “Masterful and constantly entertaining.” -The Fantasy Hive Along the way, Fi and Zeke discover they, too, have strengths of their own-though they come at a cost neither may wish to bear.

She patted my back and told me not to worry about a thing. In the days following my father’s sudden passing I’d been so grateful to have her with me. I look around me, my eyes settling on my grandmother. Instead, I’m standing in a graveyard that’s filled to the brim with people I barely even recognise. He would’ve wanted a simple ceremony with no more than a handful of people. My father’s belief in God died the day my mother did. ![]() Though I’m certain that it’s true I fail to understand how the priest would know that, considering that my father hasn’t set foot in a church in at least a decade.
