I do. Sourdough. Kept a starter for about 6 years now. Feed the starter every 2-3 days. Mixing and kneading takes all of 10 minutes (just add salt and flour). Two hours to rise and bake for one hour in a cast iron Dutch oven. Easy peasy. Always comes out great. Recently been making smaller “individu...

I don’t agree 100% O. I think it is responsible giving to ensure to the best of your ability that your gift is used responsibly

It’s still “giving”

Ken

An inappropriate sentiment for sure, but one person can not condemn another to ****. It’s not in our perview to do so

Do you and others also think this is correct? I have been told and read that with certain vegetables and foods, the skin of the vegetable or fruit contains the most nutrients, and when people get rid of the skins, such as with tomatoes, potatoes, and other foods, they are actually throwing away alo...

Second, regarding vitamins, and and I especially welcome the insights of knowledgable folks who have experience with vitamins and dietary supplements: How realistic are the claims about regular vitamin use helping boost the immune system and give better health? It has been advised to me to take Vit...

With chicory is the only kind they had back then (afaik)

...Then I started comparing the composition with other steels and reading what others have to say about it. It seems like SG2 falls somewhere in between VG10 and S30V. Am I correct there? That wouldn't be a bad thing since I enjoy using both those steels and they suit my needs well. ... Somebody pl...

Good post, Dan. I haven’t had Community Coffee since I worked offshore Louisiana in the 80s. We drank A LOT of it out there. Brewed so strong it hardly needed a cup

The chicory does kill off any bitterness making “average” quality coffee quite good!

K390 Urban. Hands down my favorite EDC ever.

What is a 'supergold' ? SG and the newer SG2 are upper level knife steels (as you’d probably guessed) Not going to win any “best X” categories (most stainless, hardest, toughest etc) but a nice all round steel that makes a good knife blade. Maybe 1/2 step up from VG10 in the same general character....

Great suggestions. I’ve used them to good effect but day in, day out I tend to stick with cast iron for that sort of thing. I’ve always done just fine with it.

Josh - is it Kauai Coffee (brand)? We visited their plantation on Kauai in 2001 and have been autoship customers ever since. Really good stuff. Dan - I have a few hand grinders too (1 Turkish and 2 regular) You’re right, they do a fine job. Mine are “old” but the new ones coming out are impressive. ...

but that heavy plastic Aeropress is more durable. Yep, that’s my travel rig. It’s incredibly versatile. I have the gold screen filter for it (instead of those paper filters they sell) I can make everything from light tan water my wife likes to almost espresso level TDS. ;) it’s really a pretty amaz...

K390 Urban. Sal made it. I bought it. ‘nuf said.

But it is a cool name, though. Love me some Norse mythology

This! I’m a XXL glove a and the U K390 works great for me.

I’m a huge fan of Opinels, especially at the price. They are really terrific slicers, across the board.
