Text of the page (random words):
rned a lot from the docent and teacher made me want to go back to school i found myself fascinated with the history of the house and the couples who lived there like all utopian experiments this one did not last long in its original iteration though the home remained communal as friends and family came and went over the years seems like fodder for a great mini series hollyhock house hollyhock house built between 1919 21 by frank lloyd wright for oil heiress single mom and feminist aline barnsdall as part of a planned 26 acre arts complex was wright s first los angeles commission and astonishingly never completed the building of the house was actually overseen by schindler and by wright s son as wright was occupied in japan at the time there were massive cost overruns and the house like other wright structures looked great but functioned poorly barnsdall apparently never liked the house ultimately donating the home and surrounding acreage to the city of los angeles in 1927 today the home is the centerpiece of a sprawling complex comprised of a museum and community art space atop a beautiful hilltop with views of griffith observatory and the hollywood sign my favorite part of the house is the water feature that never worked an outdoor fountain flowing into the living room in front of the fireplace the kitchen was classic wright and i loved it i wish we could have joined a docent tour as i suspect there are more stories to hear about the commission but that will be for another time we went to the beach no visit to la is complete without a visit to the pacific ocean which we accessed at will rogers state beach just north of santa monica despite it being a holiday weekend we easily found parking and a prime spot away from the crowds but not so far that we couldn t access the facilities which were quite nice and included varied and what looked like delicious food options the winds were quiet enough that the girls played a game of spite and malice on the blanket and then we all napped in the late afternoon sun stay tuned for part 2 comments tbtam digest may 26 2024 may 26 2024 i can t believe it s been a little over a year since we moved home to philly we re loving our life here and believe it or not don t miss nyc maybe it s because we get up to the big apple frequently enough to satisfy the urge but truth be told philly has everything this girl needs to be happy and now that we re settled in time is opening up to reboot the newsletter now for a few links health news worth knowing measure your weekly exercise goals in time spent 150 mins or steps taken 7 000 both goals if reached have been found to lower mortality in post menopausal women what i ve been watching midsummer night a lovely addictive and quick binge series from norway carina mom gathers her family together at their waterfront home ostensibly to celebrate a norwegian midsummer in reality she s got some big news to break to them and they ve all got their own secrets that no one is talking about until they do choose between subtitles and dubbing a gentleman in moscow i love this so much that i m using it to get me to the gym since i m only allowing myself to watch it while i m working out and then only during my 15 minute warm up and cool down i also read the book and have found the series to be an entirely different and equally wonderful experience pelosi in the house i ll admit this documentary from pelosi s filmmaker daughter is not the best in its genre i m sure it was not made any easier for the filmmaker by the fact that her mom is rarely if ever off message but its subject is fascinating and the jaunt through our shared recent history riveting anatomy of a fall deserving of every single academy award for which it was nominated this year did she do it or not poldark think downton abby but darker and a century earlier i loved every single episode in this 5 season pbs series and was so sad when it ended i hear another season however is in the works all creatures great and small another wonderful pbs series that i wish could go on forever small town vet in england around the time of ww ii you love every character another season is coming soon what i ve been reading table for two hmm this is a tough one until now i ve loved everything amor towles has written and as an example of great writing this new collection of short stories and a novella is no exception this guy can write and he knows how to tell a story i m just wondering if his nostalgic and loving look back at manhattan and hollywood society isn t a bit past its time and i m not so sure i really care about these folks anymore let s see what else he can come up with the hunter the latest from tana french whose crime novels set in ireland are smart rich in both character and plot and with a few exceptions incredibly readable the audible version is a fun listen if like me you love the irish accent the heaven and earth grocery store set in pottstown pa outside of philly james mcbride s latest novel at first glance is a murder mystery but really it is the story of jewish immigrants and blacks struggling and co existing in early 20th century america racial and ethnic tensions are ever present but so are deep connection and salvation makes me want to read his first book the color of water a memoir and tribute to his mother master slave husband wife though not great literature this true story of a married slave couple who escaped north from georgia disguised as a white male slaveowner the wife and his manservant her husband is riveting would make a great mini

gift shop and restaurant too making bread of course thanks for reading tbtam digest have a great holiday weekend 5 comments half wholegrain sunflower sesame sourdough may 15 2024 half wholegrain sunflower sesame sourdough the inspiration for this sourdough comes not unexpectedly from maurizio leo if you love baking sourdough bread and don t follow maurizio s blog or instagram or have his james beard award winning book you re missing out on the best information out there on both the science and the art of sourdough i ve learned most of what i know about bread making by following and reading those who have done it before and better than me and encourage you to do the same this particular bread is a remix of two of maurizio s recipes his fifty fifty wholegrain and sunflower sesame sourdough breads i ve made each of them separately several times and been delighted with the results with the sunflower sesame getting some of the highest praise from my small cadre of bread tasters that any bread has ever gotten if you know me it s all about the praise if you follow my instagram you may be aware that i ve been working my way towards the perfect 100 home milled wholegrain sourdough loaf and that my most recent attempt yielded a fine tasting but denser loaf than i d like it may have been the fact that i ve been using a particularly thirsty rouge de bordeaux heritage grain that demanded more water than the recipe had allotted it and added in things like walnuts and dried cherries before perfecting a plainer loaf first i m not giving up but i am taking a break until i finish up my supply of the rouge after which i m going again for the 100 using a varietal yet to be determined in the meantime i decided to up the percentage of wholegrain in the ever popular sunflower sesame loaf which is about 30 wholegrain by using maurizio s fifty fifty loaf as the base i did adjust the total quantities to make them easier to deal with and tweaked the water to account for the black sesame seed soaker and honey in this smaller 50 percentage my heritage wholegrain appeared to behave itself and i ended up with an 80 hydration considering the honey as hydration since it s mostly water not too difficult to handle lively yet sturdy dough thank you king arthur i baked this bread according to tartine s method which starts with a 500 degree f preheat then lowers to the same 450 degree f baking temp that maurizio uses i don t know how much difference this makes but my oven temp drops quite a bit when i leave the door open while i score my bread so it makes me feel better to start at a higher preheat temp if you want to try making this bread and have any questions or need a little coaching or encouragement feel free to reach out to me this sourdough thing takes a village print recipe half wholegrain sunflower sesame sourdough ingredients levain 48 g active sourdough starter 48 g water 24 g white bread flour i use king arthur organic 24 g wholegrain flour i used finely home milled barton springs rouge de bordeaux inclusions 35 g black sesame seeds 35 g boiling water 130 g sunflower seeds autolyse 450 g white bread flour 450 g wholegrain flour 630 g water mix and add 35 g honey 60 g water 18 g fine sea salt topping white sesame seeds instructions levain mix levain ingredients using 78 f water until all flour is incorporated loosely cover and let sit for 3 hours till active inclusions mix the black sesame seeds with the boiling water in a small bowl let cool then cover and set aside till bulk fermentation toast sunflower seeds on a large baking sheet in a 350 f oven for 8 10 minutes watch closely cool and set aside till bulk fermentation autolyse after your levain has sat for 1 2 hours mix autolyse ingredients in a large bowl using wet hands and a bowl scraper to fully incorporate the dry ingredients loosely cover and let sit near your levain till levain is ready mix dough desired temp 78 f after 3 hours check levain for readiness using the float test if it s ready it s time to mix your dough check autolyse temperature if it s too high use cooler water in the mix and vice versa if it s too low add the levain honey salt and half the water to the autolysed dough it will come apart but then come should come together easily if it s too wet and shaggy hold back the rest of the water otherwise add the other half of the water and continue to mix till dough comes together use slap and fold technique on an unfloured bench with wet hands to strengthen the dough transfer back to the bowl cover loosely and start the bulk fermentation bulk fermentation allow dough to ferment for about 3 hours during which you will perform 5 sets of stretch and folds at 30 minute intervals at the first stretch and fold incorporate the black sesame seek soaker and sunflower seeds as follows spread 1 4 of the seeds evenly over the dough performing one stretch and fold rotate the bowl a quarter turn spread another quarter of the seeds on top and perform another stretch and fold rotate again and repeat then rotate and repeat one last time with the last remaining quarter of the seeds cover dough repeat stretch and fold sets every 30 mins for a total of 5 stretch and fold sets after the last stretch and fold let dough rest for the remaining hour of bulk fermentation divide pre shape and shape at the end of bulk fermentation confirm your dough is ready to pre shape it should have bubbles on top and the sides dome downward at the sides of the bowl and feel elastic and strong if it needs more time to achieve readiness give it what it needs when the dough is ready gently scrape it onto a clean bench and divide equally using your bench knife using your bench knife and a moist hand shape each piece into a smooth round let rounds rest for 30 minutes uncovered prepare your proofing baskets by placing cloth liners and dusting them lightly with rice flour spread and even layer of white sesame seeds on a sheet pan or clean towel dry your bench for shaping dust the top of your rounds with flour flip over flour side down on the bench and shape into either a batard or a boule after shaping quickly roll the top side in the seeds so they stick if you need to spray a bit of water to moisten it do so gently transfer to the prepared proofing basket seam side up place basket into a clean reusable plastic bag and put in the fridge for an overnight proof if the dough does not come to the top of the basket allow it to sit another 30 60 minutes at room temperature to achieve some height then bag and transfer to fridge bake preheat your dutch oven in a 500 f oven for at least 30 minutes immediately before baking re...
