BzznBea

My daughter uses King Arthur's Measure for Measure flour. She made Larry's birthday cupcakes.

9:19 am

BzznBea

Yes, I propbably will. But I'm usually like that so no one will be surpeised.

9:19 am

hokie carla

I usually buy Cup 4 Cup brand but have had the KAF one.

9:19 am

rururocks

awww

9:19 am

rururocks

I'm hardly ever grumpy

9:20 am

BzznBea

If I don't get enough sleep or I am hungry, I'm a bear.

9:20 am

hokie carla

the other day I tried a new pizza crust recipe and after I mixed it up I read in the notes that Cup 4 Cup changed and didn't work as well anymore. Oh well, guess I should keep multiple flour blends on hand.

9:20 am

rururocks

good idea hokes

9:21 am

BzznBea

And do you let your dough rise in the fridge?

9:21 am

rururocks

King Arthur is the best I use

9:21 am

rururocks

Origami rises hers in the bathroom (Ugh)

9:21 am

BzznBea

Oh dear!

9:21 am

rururocks

I know.. ugh

9:22 am

hokie carla

I have started using my bread machine to make dough and it has a rise cycle, but then I did put it in the fridge per the recipe while my oven heated up.

9:23 am

rururocks

I do have some exciting news though

9:23 am

BzznBea

I've been working on making the best foccacia bread. I let the dough it rise in the fridge for a couple days.

9:23 am

BzznBea

Tell us!

9:23 am

hokie carla

you should get Ori this warming mat that KAF sells. I have one and use it a lot because I can't find a warm spot in the kitchen.

9:23 am

hokie carla

yes, ruru. do tell.

9:24 am

rururocks

I'm going to Washington in April to look at homes to bu

9:24 am

rururocks

9:24 am

hokie carla

9:24 am

9:24 am

BzznBea

That's exciting! Not moving to Canada?

9:24 am

rururocks

Port Townsend area

9:24 am

9:25 am

rururocks

9:26 am

rururocks

British Columbia is one of the most gorgeous places on earth

9:26 am

rururocks

yeah.. I'm retiring in June or July and then moving in the Fall

9:27 am

hokie carla

I loved Canmore so much and was like we should move here. Then I was reminded how cold it is in the winter. Also, they have elk, grizzlies, and cougars to take care of you in the summer.

9:28 am

rururocks

no grizzlies in BC

9:28 am

rururocks

wolves though

9:28 am

rururocks

only black bears

9:29 am

hokie carla

lol, they have grizzlies

9:29 am

hokie carla

google AI says they are a grizzly stronghold with estimated 15,000

9:29 am

rururocks

I don't think so

9:29 am

rururocks

not the island

9:31 am

rururocks

Vancouver Island does not have a resident grizzly bear population, though rare, transient grizzlies from the mainland are occasionally sighted.
Vancouver Island is primarily home to a large population of black bears, estimated between 7,000 and 12,000 individuals, thriving in the island’s forests and coastal areas. Grizzly bears (brown bears) are native to the British Columbia mainland and regions like Knight Inlet and the Great Bear Rainforest, not the island itself

9:31 am

hokie carla

I thought we were talking about BC

9:32 am

rururocks

well.. you're correct. I was just thinking about vancouver island my happy place

9:32 am

hokie carla

isn't vancouver island where they filmed several seasons of that show Alone?

9:33 am

rururocks

no idea

9:33 am

hokie carla

I thought they were always scared of bears on that. mr. homie liked to watch it.

9:33 am

BzznBea

Yes.

9:33 am

rururocks

9:33 am

9:34 am

rururocks

All by myself

9:34 am

hokie carla

oh yeah. :D

9:34 am

rururocks

I'm just joking

9:34 am

hokie carla

yes, I assumed so

9:34 am

hokie carla

9:35 am
