fwiw, the challah recipe in "the bread baker's apprentice" is pretty amazing. thats the only one ive tried and it's hard for me to imagine much improvement.
once i tried this as a kid "only the spines hurt so you can just touch the fleshy part" little did i know the fleshy part was covered in almost invisible and extremely irritating fine fiberglass-like hairs
at least they'll be wasting the dod's time, money, and energy on something effectively benign. but it's just more shit flooding the zone to distract from trump/epstein.
Maybe. But even those times I usually get a few knockout cups from a bag. I appreciate that some coffees have less "tolerance" and have to be brewed just-so to be excellent. The most unique ones tend to be that way.
to me it's just the matter of maximizing what i can get out of the natural variations between each bag and each cup within a bag as it rests. im not messing around with my technique much beyond what i know works well enough, at the best of times, to produce A+ cups of coffee.
is there an inventory and provenance report
