Amazing but true laundry stories!

I found the laundry forums the same way you did. Aren't they wonderful? I simply adore the internet.

I've had the same experience with weird gray water showing up after I hand wash things. I decided not to think about it.

What's next, baking your own bread from scratch? (I do that. No bread machine. But I do have a good mixer with a dough-hook).

We already have a thread on that, somewhere ...

Really? Under what heading? Bikes and bread, my favourite things. Please can we have a thread on this? And baking soda of course. Roguedog, I'm with you. That post was hilarious.

Here. Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day (and variations). I'll be back to this as soon as it isn't so *&^% hot.

Thank you Blueberry. I know the book. Going to take a look.

Actually, this is a somewhat timely thread because just the other day while I was washing my hands I was thinking..

"Why or how does using soap make our hands clean?" "Or maybe it's just that we think it makes our hands clean.." which made me kinda chuckle inside.

Oh my!

Platform pedals. Brooks saddles. Steel frames. Hand sewing.

And now handwashing?

20-25 years ago I used to do all our bread by hand. Bowl, spoon, and hands. 2 batches a week. I also brewed our own beer.

Now with the celiac disease I've pretty much lost all interest in baking. I've got a friend who brewed some AMAZINGLY good hard cider using just frozen apple juice concentrate, water, and yeast. It was incredibly dry and I loved it. I'd like to try it myself (but it means re-investing in all the brewing supplies - and I'm saving up for a washer!)

We make three loaves of bread by hand every other week. DH the SAG guy makes two caraway rye which he and resident FIL eat and one is some whole wheat variation which I make for myself.

We use a rustic no knead approach so the only work is assembling, shaping , cutting and eating.
