Wow, Amyth. You've been busy since Tuesday.
I picked up a cold this week and slept 11 hours last night. I suspect tonight will involve more NyQuil than prosecco.
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

You and me both. I'm excited that the morning market trip was fast, so I can sneak in a nap...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Russell Brand lost me at "HE FUCKED YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER!!" I don't care how funny he is, he's an asshole and I won't watch him.
So wait, does that mean it is or is not possible to make sourdough starter from yeast at the grocery store? Or os all yeast one colony? That seems like a distinction without a difference, if so.
I think he means all sourdough from SF bakeries. Wild yeast strains are highly localized - you can make sourdough outside the Bay area but it won't taste the same. (Even if you import a sourdough starter from SF, it will collect local wild yeast as it matures, which changes the flavor proile.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
1 full trash bag by the door shouldn't stop you from cleaning the rest of the place. I mean, right.
Well, right. But it would kill the magical part.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So no SF bakery has ever made their own starter? Really? Weird. At least it's less weird than his actual assertion that no one had ever made their own starter--I was tempted to make some for that very easily disprovable reason. And then I got lazy again.

I would also like to note that the weather here today is the WORST -- rainy and 35. Why can't it be 30 and snowy???

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We're planning to go to First Night Alexandria. Weather should be good for it.

Cover the bag in glitter. INSTANT MAGIC.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Dream on.
Yeah, I know.
Still think the escrow officer should have been done, though, since we managed to get escrow closed despite her best efforts.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm all for putting the escrow officer covered in glitter (it itches!) in a trash bag by the door, if that will do any good.
