@skynewss.bsky.social Why do you indulge in this ridiculous, misogynistic attack on Reeves?
January 29, 2025 at 1:56 PM
Not at all.

@everyheron.bsky.social Flat for sale, with prime heron view, if you are interested:

Try mine.

Looks good. My bread improved when I stopped chasing high hydration and settled around 70%.

Can be hard to keep going through the periods when nothing seems to work. In the end I gave up on boules and switched to batards.

I've been at it a few years. Had periods when I wasn't getting good results, but at the moment it is going well. Tannee sauchey - stay safe, in Manx.

@hayloftbooks.bsky.social First picture is just across the road from the house. Second is the big house along the road taking a pounding. The waves go diagonally past us, but they cop it every time.

@everyheron.bsky.social Just for you - the feet of the Castletown heron. Gow kiarail - take care, in Manx.

Could be mine, except I use a banneton liner so no lines.

@simonubsdell.bsky.social I regret to have to inform you that my wife has acquired a Robkoo R1 wind synthesizer.

View from my bedroom window. When it gets light, there are normally three herons to be seen if it is not high tide.

This happened. Tried several times, but the same message. Email is on photo.

Funny you should say that. Baked my best ever loaf this morning.

You called? #sourdough
November 15, 2024 at 9:06 AM
Same, but no dog. #sourdough

Looks pretty good to me. After a period of failure with boules, I've gone back to batards made in a cloche. #sourdough

Been at it for ten years. Some barren patches, but relatively pleased with what I am baking right now.
November 14, 2024 at 8:47 PM
I've recently started baking in this, because I was going through a bad patch with boules in my iron cloche.

Very impressive. Today's loaf here. Used a new method of shaping - helpful video here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DCHaNk8RK9i/

Screenshot from the App Store - don't know if an Android is available. I have tried Graysky as well, but Skeets is better imo.

How big are these things? We have just seen a 10-ton statue of one of our grey herons erected in Castletown, but this one looks terrifying.
