What piece of kit or setup represents the pinnacle of your hobby/profession?
  • What, no bread-makers yet?

    • Zojirushi Bread machine (I use it for the dough cycle. Don't at me.)
    • Electronic scale. It can be a cheap OXO, but you need one.
    • Banneton and liners
      *Lame (honestly, my favorite is the cheapo Breadtopia one with the plastic handle--much better than the walnut-handled one my mom had)
    • More Emile Henry ceramic bakers than I'm willing to admit. Crown rolls, anyone?

    I haven't ventured into sourdough but I'm teetering on the edge. Looking at the King Arthur crocks.

  • What are your best moving tips?
  • When you are wrapping items in paper, don't wrap it tightly and smoothly! You want to crumple the paper up around the item. The crumpling is what protects it; a piece of newspaper wrapped flat and tight around a glass doesn't protect it from bumps and shocks.

  • What's an innocent misconception about your hobby/profession that drives you up the wall?
  • I'm an English professor, and I get a lot of "Oh, I'll have to make sure to use good grammar around you." First, I have better manners than to go around correcting other people.* Second, I know enough about the development of the language to realize how fluid and often artificial the "rules" are.

    • Unless you're trying to mansplain something to me. Then all bets are off.
