Woodworking rant about the community being judgemental
Going with fiber and the healthy bits of grinding our own flour and using ancient grains - einkorn and spelt. To get some gluten, 400 gms of winter wheat. 600 grams spelt here (2 loaves). These just don't rise like the white flours, not so much gluten. Tasty tho. #sourdough #bread

Really ground storming (wind and blowing snow, but no clouds to speak of). Something like -11 F.

@AlaskaWx@alaskan.social Alaska Air just canceled their morning flight citing no weather report from Nome. Beautiful day here. Think I heard a cargo jet come in.. so lame.

@AlsoPaisleyCat@tenforward.social Not an airy crumb, but actually prefer it this way for how we eat it. Made with winter wheat 400 grams, einkorn 100 grams, and spelt 500 grams, for 2 loaves. Usually 680 g. In water, this time 860 g.

Well, gave it a shot. Went a bit conservative on the amount.. sort of a kerfuffle because of the much extra water I needed to add after already mixing it up. But got it straightened out.. bread a bit fluffier, didn't spread as much, and more moist. Will try again.

"Nearly two dozen Iron Dog racers were stuck in deep snow about five miles west of Elim Wednesday afternoon. The group includes members of the snowmachine race’s competitive Pro Class, non-competitive Expedition Class and Ambassador Team, who helps break trail for race."
