Learned sourdough bread is actually good for most people!

Have always avoided it (even though toasted sourdough has been a fave) as somebody told me it was bad. Had a slice yesterday when having lunch with mom. Told her what I “knew”. She asked why.

Looking it up today, it is actually good for the gut and heart. Welcome Home, Sourdough!

Love sourdough bread. Also a big fan of rye and Italian bread. Don't get me started on Thomas' English muffins.

Mmmm... nooks and crannies.

Ditto. I've tried to make my own at home. Did the research on how to make your own culture to make it "sour." It looked like the culture was going fine it followed the rules and acted like the stuff I read about an the videos I watched so I had high hopes. In the end, the bread didn't work out. I'll just buy it going forward.

There is a local home baker that sells sourdough bread and will give you some of her culture if you wan to try to make it at home but I haven't gone there yet.

The keyboard on one of my laptops is going bad. The left hand side of the keyboard has some keys that won't type. Was just going to replace the keyboard. I've done it before on other laptops and it's not very hard to do. This one, not so much based on the tech specs and the vids I watched.

So I punted and just bought another one. It arrived today so I'll mess with it this weekend and transfer all the stuff over to the new one. Not an emergency just annoying. It'll give me something to do while I cook and watch football on a rainy (predicted forecast) Sunday.

I blame the left handed people since the keys that lost function are on the left side. I also blame the metric system. Gotta blame something.

was looking at my phone while waiting for food to arrive at a local Japanese eatery...checking out an article about foods that are good for the brain...

as if on cue, the article listed wasabi and ginger as brain food, shortly after the waitress put a small plate with the stuff on our table...

then the article said salmon is also good brain food...the sashimi plate we had ordered contained slices of salmon, as did one of the sushi rolls...

Google is getting kinda creepy with these coincidences...

I always ate salmon ‘cause of its Omega-3 content, guess it was making me smarter at the same time! 👍

Wasabi and ginger (“gari”) ALWAYS a part of my sushi meal but ate the ginger in-between different types of fish or seafood to cleanse my palate. Glad it was making me smarter too.

Unless you have a newer car with radar cruise control. It's a wonderful thing. That and automatic high beams.

Those automatic high beams, are annoying, if you are in front of someone, who has them. They keep flashing high beams into my mirriors, on the interstate. If you are within 500 ft of the vehicle in front of you, you should always switch to low beams, as the automatic high beams do not automatically dim. If you come up behind me, get ready for what I call my "Midnight Sun." I have a LED light bar, facing to the rear. It will turn your high beams off for you, and me. If I turn it off, and your highbeams come back on, automaticaly, get ready for the light bar being on, until you pass me, or your lights stay dim. I have them on both pickups, and my semis as well.

Agree, I have auto high beams, they are OK on country roads with few other drivers, but typically on a busy highway I turn them off. Until I RTFM I got really annoyed turning the high beams off only to have them automatically turn back on. I like lots of light, but on the road, not in other drivers eyes.

The dickhead pickup and even some semi drivers that run all sorts of off road lights/light bars down the highway, lights they never turn off, can all KMA. The same for lifted PUs when the driver never bothers to re-aim the lights.

The midnight sun lol. I think some people believe it's OK to have their highs on when following someone because peiple have been doing that for a lot longer than auto beams have been out.

Interesting.
My Honda won't switch to high beam when only 500 feet behind more like- 750 and I think the distance is adjustable.

Sheesh, automatic high beams? Really? I mean, how hard is it to pull the steering column arm? Forgot iffin’ it was the left or the right arm since I rarely use my high beams

Very few younguns probably know about the floor switch / button that we had to press with our left foot when we wanted high beams in our back-in-the-day vehicles. 🌫
