King arthur, truely the only option. I went somewhere over christmas and baked more loaves of bread than days I was there, and every single one of them was great (6 bagguettes and 6 focaccia, the former being shatteringly crisp and the latter being like a sponge)

My favorite is that King Arthur has a telephone hotline available 24/7 for baking help.

today marks five months without a job. my union-provided salary insurance runs out soon and i'll be down to unemployment benefits. i've applied for about forty positions and gotten something like five interviews total.

maybe i needed a break though. i'm almost done getting my motorcycle license, i've gotten into 3D printing, i've gotten my teeth fixed, and i've had time to try two different medications to help my focus. i wish it would help with the headaches though.

Good on you for being part of a union. 40 applications is wild, still. Wishing you the best of luck.
