u feel inclined to add to your tbr pile please let me point our bundles page at you or vice versa there s something like two million words of prose there surely that ll get you through until after new

point you at my ko fi and if you re inclined to assist ask you to tag whatever you might like to drop into the pot as dodge or something similar it ll be very much appreciated believe me and also for those of you who feel inclined please feel free to reblog this so that others who might be interested in what s going on can see it thanks friends for those of you who may not know the story peter formally broke off his relationship with organized religion in his pre teen years when the local c of i vicar on a home visit to his mum attempted to sternly inform him that animals specifically cats had no souls and therefore would not be admitted to heaven peter having just rescued a local abandoned kitty had no time for that idea and told the vicar so loudly and angrily clearly aware of all the possible personal consequences of this position to him at home and not giving a fuck about them to the best of my knowledge he never again set foot inside any religious institution in northern ireland except for relatives weddings and funerals yet also he never willingly missed a caturday so now you know a little about why tags christmas tw stages of grieving tw spouse loss request for assistance gnu peter morwood also wouldn t mind some snow t 12 hours ago k 873 notes k 873 notes crumpets again so where were we glance back to this post for a retrospective meanwhile look once more assuming you ve seen it before at the pretty butter melting i continue to investigate how to film this kind of thing until it s so sensuous to behold that people slam their laptop lids shut or slam their phones down face first and go off to watch some other kind of porn anyway i was comparing two versions of crumpet recipes from our vintage european cuisines website which for those interested will be shutting down over the course of next year petermorwood and i had been discussing this anyway as there are now about a million more websites dealing with european food and recipes than there were when we started the thing up in 1995 so 2026 is as good a time to have this happen as any other nearly all its recipes that originated with us will be migrating to other places where they re easier to find such as mind palate com as discussed in the post above though there was a change in the ec com based crumpet recipe from its original version originally posted in 2008 or so to a slightly different one in 2016 and any notes about why this change was made have been lost when i set out early yesterday to get into a serious comparison of the two recipes starting with a test of the older one a note got scribbled on the nearest pad of the magic grid paper a does 2 cups of bread flour actually equa l 230g and b does 1 2 3 cups of all purpose flour actually equal 230g and as we see the answers are no i carefully redid the cup measurements leveled and then weighed them there is a possibility that the difference in weights as compared to volumes had to do with us changing the flours we normally used some background on this until 2016 ish for our bread work at home peter and i were stuck using irish supermarket strong flours on which there was never any guaranteed protein content and for a good while there was no specifically milled bread flour partly because irish bread baking at home at that point still seemed primarily limited to making soda bread in which the very last thing you want to do is develop its gluten loaf bread baking was seen very much as a minority interest and the big companies that supply flour to the supermarkets weren t particularly concerned about getting fancy as regarded their flours protein gluten content then though by happy chance while visiting one of the central european groceries near dublin we stumbled across this fabulous stuff this flour s home company is based in lithuania and it s some of the best bread flour it s ever been my privilege to work with the info on the side of the package states that the flour s protein content is 11 9 which is just fine for a bread flour for this stuff s sake alone in the mid to late 2010s we would always schedule shopping trips up to dublin once a month or so to make sure we always had enough malsena on the shelf if you can lay your hands on it i highly recommend it bear in mind here if you didn t already know that out of a joint annoyance with the generally crap quality of supermarket bread in 2011 peter and i started baking sandwich loaf quality bread at home at least twice a week this recipe which i got in the mid 1990s from the first online bakery in switzerland became our basic bread a variation of tessinerbrot a bread descended from one anciently made by roman spanish bakers working in canton ticino peter later tweaked the basic recipe to suit the new bread pans we eventually acquired to make the household sandwich bread more manageable anyway in 2020 along came covid and home baking suddenly began to be something everyone wanted to do at which point flour and sometimes even yeast routinely vanished from our local groceries due to the supply chain troubles associated with that period at this point p and i decided that it made more sense to buy our flour in bulk from more local dependable sources the very best of these turned out to be kells wholemeal near kilkenny we would routinely buy 15 or 16kg bags of their bread flour after some testing the one we settled on was marriage s golden crust then decant it into former 5kg plastic birdseed buckets and never again worry about suddenly running out of flour in the middle of a bake the trick was to re order from kells after opening the last of a three bucket batch it was also seriously less costly to buy flour this way than by the 2kg bag from the local grocery which didn t have anything this good anyway so we got to feel smugly economical about that too anyway back to the crumpet end of things the change in the bread flour and plain flour we were using may have been responsible for the difference in the amount of measured volume of the flours in the revised recipe heavy sigh this is just one more thing that makes me want to stop using us imperial measurements entirely and switch over completely to metric which isn t susceptible to such irregularities yeah it s not like because of using imperial customary measurements anybody s gonna lose a mars probe in the kitchen you know but staying in metric means you re dealing with mass not volume which depending on how much moisture your flour has absorbed from the atmosphere recently can change your results without warning and in pastry and baking work this can be a big deal the flour mass amounts that worked for the crumpet recipe anyway were 260g bread flour 220g plain flour please also note the scrawl that says 2 3c milk is closer to 150ml because this too is accurate now in a day or three i ll test the newer revised version of the recipe to see how or indeed if it still works but the old one works perfectly well with the amount restated above when i ve finished my testing i ll revise the mind palate recipe accordingly please note also i did the batter mixing on these in a stand mixer as i have better things to do with my hands and arms these days than hand mix batter until my entire upper body aches two minutes with the k beater on the kenwood produced a batter that was thick rich and creamy and in which the gluten appears to have been perfectly well developed meanwhile there are now only eight crumpets tags baking baking meta crumpets t 16 hours ago k 194 notes k 194 notes oh joy look what s coming it s

a cutting pendant was even a thing i have to make one oh for those who don t know this is a typical chaterlaine it was like a decorative and often very elaborate chain of useful knicknacks because women have always wanted to carry sharp tools with them without tearing up their pockets or stabbing up their thighs it s sort of like a foot long charm bracelet but the charms are useable notebooks and tweezers and stuff i d never heard of a pendant chatelaine let along a circular cutting pendant i love i highly recommend making one one of my friends asked me if i would sell them my answer was a resounding no they re way too easy to make and making things is more fun you can get everything from local craft shops apart from possibly the pendant i got mine from clover as i like the brand but there are so many other places that make them just search online for circular cutting pendant or yarn cutting pendant and there will be tons of options the clasps are basic lobster jewellery clasps two are attached to a jump ring one clips to the cord the other to whatever you want to attach minimum of two clasps on the ring is important this means you can remove the whole section from the necklace or just take off the item itself off one clasp leaving the other clasp on the cord i only needed two sections but you can make as many as you like 2mm waxed cord fit the clover pendant perfectly but you could use any cord nylon leather whatever you like the closure is a simple sliding knot to allow it to be worn higher up the neckline when not in use hope you have fun making one t

you re excited to write chronological writing is a suggestion not a law kill your darlings is not about deleting every cool thing you love it s about not hoarding scenes like a dragon with dialogue you wrote in 2017 that doesn t even make sense anymore you do not need to write like your favorite author you need to write like you caffeinated and slightly unstable talking to yourself in the mirror as your character is not weird it s called method writing you re not unhinged you re dedicated aesthetic pinterest boards and playlists are writing progress if they make you feel like a god again you can write the climax before you finish act 1 you can rewrite chapter 1 thirty times and then delete it anyway you re not behind you re in hell with the rest of us you re allowed to write stuff that s not marketable you re allowed to be weird write the story that would make you feel seen the niche finds its freaks beta readers are not gods take what resonates ignore what doesn t if five people say
