07:49 pm - Bread Shrapnel
As some of you who know me in person may be aware, I am not what we would call a light and fluffy baker. I make dwarf bread. Sometimes, this turns out to be "mm, chewy!" Sometimes, when I accidentally under rise it, or heat the oven too high and kill the yeast early, it's more "here, the rats could stand to grind their teeth down a little." All of it, when it gets stale, however, goes clunk.
There are lots of recipes that call for stale bread. They work with very stale normal bread, or kindof stale my bread. Not really stale my bread, which mostly turns into a lump. The ends and crumbs get stale fast, which is why I keep a bread jar. Into it go all those little bits that are very stale, when the rats have a cage stuffed to bursting. If you leave the bread long enough, it actually gets so stale it breaks up again.
The bread jar just got really full, so I made bread crumbs. Ordinarily, this would involve a food processor, but mine is not about anymore. I use a stick blender for most of these types of jobs. Discovery! You can indeed make bread crumbs with a stick blender. Just...watch out for shrapnel.
In other news, rope purchased for pavilion. Am making bound canvas grommets instead of leather. Got surprisingly little done today, yet I am tired.

04:51 pm - Oh, my
Been having a horrible day and yesterday, including motherboard issues, some ram going dead, and discovering my computer case is even smaller than I believed. Also, crushing depression. The kind where I don't want to move. And I had the rat dream again (where I have more rats than I think, and I've somehow been starving/neglecting a huge cage of them for a ridiculous period of time, and now I have to find cages for them and whatnot. Rats just keep coming out of the woodwork.)
Then, there was upsetting Russian art. Now I am merely traumatized.
