The Conquest of Bread Quotes by Pyotr Kropotkin - Goodreads:

"So utopian are we that we go to the length of believing that the revolution can and ought to assure shelter, good and clothes to all - an idea extremely displeasing to middle-class citizens, whatever their party colour, for they are quite alive to the fact that it is not easy to keep the upper hand of a people whose hunger is satisfied."

Hey fermenters. So, I recently started a batch of pickles (the salt water and dill+ kind - lactofermented? Right?), and I transferred them to the fridge too early, before they were pickled enough. Can I just take them out of the fridge (a few days later) and let them get back to room temperature and keep doing their thing? Or is that a recipe for spoilage? Or would it just not keep fermenting?

I guess I have nothing to lose so I might as well try but I was wondering if y’all had thoughts about my chances of success.

Thanks!

Also, is there a good app for iPhone for it? I tried out Vernissage and it’s nice in some ways and confusing in others.

This occurred to me the other day and I feel like it’s so crazy that it maybe could happen. Is it too late for him to run in the upcoming election?

I’ve often wondered this. I have a few possible answers, but I’m curious what you all think.

I just posted about this in c/sourdough but I thought maybe some of you would have opinions and suggestions too. I’m not sure the etiquette around this kind of thing so feel free to scold me or just ignore the post.

So: I think my bread knife may have become too dull to use. It won’t slice through the crust on my sourdough and I end up hacking it to very uneven pieces. And I’m afraid I’m going to cut myself. Any suggestions for a new bread knife? Is there a big difference between the really cheap ones and something more expensive? Thanks!

Not sure how to add more images but I guess the one is enough. I love baking bread in my DO. So far that and boiling corn are the only things I use it for because it’s so big for just two people (6qt).

I am realizing that my bread knife is not strong enough to handle the crusts on my loaves and it’s impossible to get through the bread much less evenly. What bread knife do you use/would you recommend? Is it just a matter of sharpness or are there other factors to consider?
