there are only two kinds of bread

1. "kurt, do you want my crusts?"

@mwl things I never knew the name of and wished I still didn't

@durian sounds delicious, I will have to try! I love bitter melon, too. :flan_nom:​

@idlestate yeah I grabbed a bunch of that brand's stuff to try from dollar tree. Everything has been decent but that was delightful, like something from an Amish market

@FritzAdalis I find the King Arthur baking website super helpful, and nearly all their recipes are great... they explain a little of the reasoning behind specifics of each recipe or method so you can gradually pin down exactly what you like in different types of loaves. A reference like this is also helpful: https://www.reluctantgourmet.com/bread-making-ingredients/ for developing a favorite everyday bread.

@kurtm @mwl then he turned right around and promoted it to Lieutenant Colonel and we all saw how THAT turned out

(I am very 'Team Don't Be A Fussy Bitch About Food' and have worked through all my food dislikes except (Italian) basil and okra so finally having some tolerance for both is great, especially considering how nutritious okra is)

I finally found an okra source that didn't make me just want to take it right back out of my mouth and it is this: https://www.margaretholmes.com/products/tomatoes-okra-and-corn/ (mixed into hot rice)
