The taste of the above high protein loaves was satisfactory. The texture was chewy. Not bad, but to my palate "chewy" is not a salient feature of French bread. Tonight I used a higher extraction, lower protein flour... Taste and texture were as expected from my ideal of a baguette. I now think low protein flour is key.

Plenty of rum here; no limes.

Amazon notified me they have only four limes in stock; and they deleted eggs from my order. However there is still no delivery.

I filled up my amazon/Whole Foods shopping cart. Whole Foods is not delivering.

It's four leaf clover shaped pasta. I have an old Simac die that fits my new KA extruder.

Well, it looked just like the maccheroni quadrifoglio with walnut sauce I posted the other day.

I hate you.

Dinner was leftover maccheroni quadrifoglio with walnut sauce. https://forums.egullet.org/topic/160121-dinner-2020/?do=findComment&comment=2238172 Even better because the sauce was hot from not trying to take a photograph. To reheat the butter-tossed quadrifoglio I steamed it in the CSO for 20 minutes. Then mixed with warmed walnut sauce. Excellent.

@Madison Smith a lot of the material on your blog does not read as if it were written by a native English speaker. Are all the reviews your own? Pretty pepper grinder though.

The cheese does look like soap. Wonder how it tastes?

In this area there is still milk home delivery. And I don't mean amazon, but that too.

$14.93 on amazon. Other online sources I deal with are sold out. Not sure about Shoprite; I have not been there to check. However last time I shopped people were buying multiple boxes.

What I can't find at any normal price is Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt. I have an emergency supply of a couple pounds but I sure wish I had another box. I received a case of sugar a few weeks ago so that should last a little while.

My guardian's first husband was a milkman. He succumbed to the white death. Tuberculosis is spread by milk from infected cows. Terrified alone at home again today I stayed in bed till mid afternoon. When I got up I figured I ought to order food. One of the sources for my pantry staples is Supermarket Italy. Eight cans of DOP San Marzano coming. Ten bags of Molino Grassi flour -- six 00, four semolina. Cans of Spanish clams. As a treat I threw in some died pasta (of which they offered plenty). And sauces: harissa, HP*, and Marie Sharp. I had a store credit of $5.00 I'd forgotten about! I'm down to my last three cookies. Hopefully I'll find the energy to bake some more. *OK, not Italian.

This was beyond CPR. CPR performed three times. Poolish proofing for fresh bread tonight.

Leftover sweet potato, leftover Rancho Gordo Moro beans (leftover four times), stale bread (as in really stale). Provolone cheese and salami purchased for work lunches, but work is not a thing that's happening. My father grew up in Indian territory in the last century century before last, sorry. As he used to tell me: "Willful waste makes woeful want." And sweet potato reheated in the CSO is not half bad. Speaking of beans, it's amazing how Scanpan non-stick cookware cleans right up.

As long as you like beans.

Amazon allows you specify a tip amount at the time you place your order. You have up to 24 hours to change the tip amount. The bags are left on the doorstep. Alexa will tell you your order has been delivered. There is no interaction with the driver. Or the driver with you. Speaking as a library technician who often has to collect fines and make change, I'd rather starve than accept currency. Though if someone wanted to slip me a G note I might make an exception. And then wash my hands.

I don't do Facebook either and I'd love to remain abreast of bean news. My son and I were joking the other day: as it happens his favorite variety is royal corona.

Thankfully I have about a pound and a half of SAF. And when that's gone I'll learn to make sourdough.

What better time than when store shelves are out of pasta? Plus the KA extruder is on sale at the moment!

Tamaki Gold. Now it's not even in stock on amazon.

My favorite California rice is $31 a bag. Last time I ordered it was $17.99.

Hearing none... Wish I had $10,000 to lay down on a pasta extruder but I don't. I had (and may still have) an older KitchenAid extruder that extruded horizontally. Didn't Galileo prove that unless you were on the space station gravity affected pasta? Extruding pasta horizontally is asking for trouble. The new kitchenAid extruder arrived tonight, and the first thing I tested was if my old Simac dies would fit. They do! A sad day when DeLonghi subsumed Simac. Sort of like a capitalistic black hole. Dinner was maccheroni quadrifoglio with walnut sauce.

Maccheroni quadrifoglio with walnut* sauce. Joy of Pasta (p185). Quadrifoglio is notoriously difficult to shape and some pieces split. Taste was not affected. Quadrifoglio tossed with butter and then tossed in a sauce of walnuts, cream, thyme, cinnamon, and parmesan. *in this case, nuts.com red walnuts. My doctor tells me to eat nuts.
