The crumb is light and airy, especially for a 100% ancient grain loaf. The aroma and flavor are incredible. I’m emotional. It’s really different, and you can easily tell even if you’re not a bread nerd. This is incredibly exciting, and I’m so amazed that it worked.

And here is the result. The scoring is the Hieroglyph representing the “T” sound (Gardiner X1) which is a loaf of bread. The aroma is AMAZING and NEW. It’s much sweeter and more rich than the sourdough we are used to. It’s a big difference. After this cools we will taste!

I’m sorry to be gushing. I’m hella excited and a little freaked out. There’s serious science and Egyptology to do, which we are doing. @drserenalove and @rbowman1234 are amazing partners on this. But hey, WHAT A COOL BAKERY! More soon! Good night!

The harder someone hypes a technology before it’s finished and working, the more likely it’s bullshit.

Here is .8k of fantastically delicious 70% dark chocolate made from the ground up. I suppose I could grow sugar cane. But that’s for another thread. Thanks for following along. Please be curious and dive into the things that interest you. The universe is utterly magnificent.

Hey @GOP book-banning asshats: I get it that you ban Handmaids Tale as it *gives a roadmap to your strategy*, but banning Girls Who Code is just embarrassing for you. The first programmer, and the person who coined the term Software Engineering were WOMEN, a fact you can’t ban.

Nuclear war is starting to seem probable again. When I was a kid, it was everyone’s #1 nightmare. It was like living with a wet bag over your head. It was unbelievably sublime when the threat ended. I don’t want to go back there. God dammit. Humans are such fucking assholes.

I still don’t get it: guy is on criminal trial for paying to cover up cheating on his wife with a porn star (when she’d just had his child). And christians are like, “can’t wait to make this messiah our president.” I must not understand the Bible.
