The Mistake You Keep Making

[JustGeorge]

We're all hardheaded in some way or the other.

I'm 37 years old. I've been cooking as a hobby for close to a decade. You'd think I'd learn to read my damned recipe through the day before. Nope. I sure don't learn this lesson.

I go to start my bread, assuming it will be ready by lunch(lunch around here is 4ish), and.... I see there's a 6-8 hour rise time. Whoops... Guess it'll be ready by supper...

What is the mistake you seem to be unable to keep making?

I keep telling myself that there's no need to write things down because I'll remember. Right

Well, I'm glad for your mistake.

I keep telling myself that there's no need to write things down because I'll remember. Right

I did that for a long time... think I finally stopped in my early 30s, after being reprimanded about it enough...

Me too, and now my phone diary and notepad are essential for when I don't remember.

Now all i have to do is remember where i put my phone

I've learned that following the recipe is essential.

And wow, 6 to 8 hours rise time.... If my bread hasn't risen properly within an hour if goes in the bin...

Its been rising an hour or two and it is indeed doing what it should. I'm optimistic because rye bread doesn't often rise for me...

I keep telling too much information to my Doctor!

Remembering to pay CONSCIOUS ATTENTION when I close the garage door after pulling the car out. Otherwise, I drive off, get half way to work and start wondering if I closed the door. And the more I wonder, the more worried I get that I might have forgot. Then I have to turn around and drive back to make sure. I only actually left the door open once. But if I can't recall closing it then I have to go back to make sure. (Tools inside.) And it's very annoying. So I am trying to remember to pay conscious attention when I close the door, so I remember doing it.

If you ever worked in a chem lab you would know to make sure you dont even try to memorize " recipes".

I should start writing things down, too. I'll write that down somewhere so I don't forget.

Your mistake is not employing a driver.
I do; it helps keep the proles employed so
they wont get restive.

I overdo things.
I know its not necessary but i can't stop it.
It not only makes me exhausted but i also don't get the desired result that i try to achieve.

I found that I kept forgetting that I'd started lists of things to remember, because I couldn't remember that I'd started one before...

Use yeast instead of sour dough?

It has 6 tsp of yeast.

Rye seems to be a slow moving bread.

I can happily report though, that after 3 hours, it does appear to be well rising. Just going to let it keep doing its thing...

 

[JustGeorge]

And its done!

Its delicious.
