Hold on to a few of those "oy" we might need them....
The Lambda COVID variant is in California: 5 things to know
Well, Lambda doesn't sound as bad as delta, so at least it's the "devil you know" thing.
This is interesting and explains part of that:
Delta’s rise is fuelled by rampant spread from people who feel fine
So in the end, it's still good to vaccinate (and you're less likely to spread it, and will have better outcomes) but Delta is even sneakier than the original virus. Sigh. It's bound to happen, I mean, there's evolutionary pressure for the virus to avoid the vaccine, once the vaccine is "out there". But it's still 10x better to be vaccinated.
The bread making has begun. The recipe calls for 500 grams of whole wheat flour. I was going to go 1/2 with the whole flour and 1/2 buckwheat. But decided to change it to 400 grams of wheat flour and 100g of buckwheat (which isn't actually a wheat). Figured i would ease into changing the recipe.
Picture of the stuff.
mixed everything and let the dough double in size. I was careful of making sure my water was btwn 105 & 110 degrees. Necessary to activate the yeast and over 110 you kill the yeast. Love that yeast smell.
took dough out of bowl and punched it down (takes air out of dough) and kneaded it for about 3 minutes and rolled dough to size of pan and placed the dough in it. letting it rise for about a half hour and then will bake.
