'''December 29th'''

This week: no detours. But next week? Who knows!?!

We had a pretty good week. [https://8th-dev.com/ Our sale] has been productive, and so have we. I

Some things:

* Stupidity in higher-education: [http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/10/24/white-privilege-bolstered-by-teaching-math-university-professor-says.html mathematical skill bolsters “White privilege”]. Must be difficult to reconcile that with all the famous Indian mathematicians, but hey, privilege!

A recent survey found that nearly half of “millenials” [https://thefederalist.com/2017/11/01/study-nearly-half-millennials-prefer-socialism-capitalism/ prefer socialism to capitalism]. That, of course, is at least partly a result of the educational system’s Leftist leanings. I wonder: how many millennials would like to move to [http://www.nationalreview.com/article/454787/venezuela-socialism-collapse-has-not-deterred-followers Venezuela today]? Apparently despite all evidence that socialism and communism are vile systems (which have directly murdered almost 100 million people to date — far more than the despised Nazis), many millennials would still prefer them over the freedom to fail or succeed on your own. I despair of the human race.

But I don’t despair of achieving nirvana! In my ongoing search for baking perfection, I made a [https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10155852042463654&set=a.146564173653.110844.566278653&type=3&theater “Jewish sour-rye”]. It was really good; but I hope to perfect my technique over the coming weeks. The recipe: 1.5C sourdough starter, 2C bread flour, 1.5t salt, 0.25C warm water, 1.5t yeast, 1T caraway seeds. Mix and let sit 15 minutes. Shape into a loaf and let rise until doubled (about 2hr). Slash the loaf and bake at 190C (375F) until done, about 40 minutes. Use steam in the oven to get a nice crust.

Next time I’ll increase the yeast to 2t so it has a bit more rise. Note that there is no oil, egg, or sugar in the dough, so it’s health-nut- and vegan-friendly even if I’m not!

This ''shabbat'' it’s just me and the missus. We’ll enjoy:
<br>
homemade ''ḥalla'',
meatballs,
grilled chicken-breast,
rice,
various [http://www.joyofkosher.com/recipes/collection/recipe-terms-salatim/ ''salatim''],
and soy-chocolate pudding.

Until next time,<br>
''shabbat shalom''!
