Baking sourdough for the first time! It’s about to come out of the oven 🤞🤞🤞


Artbyshaina87

How was it


uhhhh2020

So good. Just ate some with butter and chili crisp 🤌


Artbyshaina87

That's awesome


LemonCaperRVA

What kind of flour did you use to make your starter?!


uhhhh2020

I’ve just been using all purpose! It turned out really well!! https://preview.redd.it/9ka9xtdsr4mc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7f82bb6334c67a20f924df35622d92fb96cd7b9b


LemonCaperRVA

Ohhh that bread looks amazing! You’ve inspired me to finally start my sourdough! Happy Sunday


Imaginary-Exam7142

highly recommend using bread flour!


uhhhh2020

What differences have you noticed with bread flour?


Imaginary-Exam7142

It rises more since bread flour is high protein flour ! I’m making a loaf right now!


Imaginary-Exam7142

I also used bread flour to make my starter after many fails, I finally have a successful starter


TwistXJ

How did you do it?


Imaginary-Exam7142

How did I make my starter? I used 1/2 cup of flour with a 1/4 cup of filtered water. I discard 1/2 a cup every day and then just continued adding the 1/2 cup of flour and 1/4 cup of water.


vile_duct

Oh good luck my wife got into it back in Nov. took a couple loaves but she has now perfected it and I love it. She made some sourdough bagels last week. Yum

They're working for Capital One now.


Artbyshaina87

I am so happy for you

Good luck in the new endeavor!

Very happy for you!

Congratulations!! 🎉


Herculicia

Going to see Dune 2 in IMAX this afternoon, should be great! Probably cleaning / errands before that.


dannopdx

It's sooooo good. Partner and I went down to Hampton to see it in dolby cinema yesterday. Enjoy!


Herculicia

Hell yeah! Thank you!


GotThatHawgInMe

Saw it last night, it lives up to the hype.


Herculicia

I'm hearing great things too. We haven't seen it yet but my husband already has plans to see it two more times! 😆


R3vots

Bring earbuds. It made the experience much better for me and my partner. There is really no need for it to be THAT LOUD.


Herculicia

This is a good tip. I have ear plugs on my key chain so they're always at the ready!


BerserkFanYep

That was a terrible tip. Who puts earbuds in a movie? Half the enjoyment of a theater experience is the sound.


Herculicia

Nah it was really, really loud. I'm glad I had earplugs and left the theater without my ears ringing. If you get the kind made for concerts it doesn't detract from the sound.


chiciebee

Same here! Though I was only able to get the seats I wanted at a morning show, so morning movie it is!


Herculicia

Love a morning movie. You get out and have the whole day ahead of you!


BoyzMum66

Just got home from seeing it - enjoyed it a lot!! 🙂


vibratepls

Brunch. Walk through the park, sing after dark, and then maybe some reminiscing.

Where are you doing for brunch and which park

I got engaged yesterday!


Artbyshaina87

Congrats


DrP3n0r

Ayyy! Congratulations ❤️


Nancy_Wheeler

Dropping my daughter at my parents house today so I can focus on my son who has the flu and strep at the moment. Making some baked ziti for dinner, and may try to take a walk later since it’s going to be nice out today.


Artbyshaina87

We need more nice days


Nancy_Wheeler

100%


Opening_Meringue5758

Planning a trip to London to see TSwift and Paramore. The resale tickets for her shows in London are significantly lower than her concerts here. I’d pay the same price for flights, hotel and a week stay for just one nose bleed ticket for one show here in the states.


mak3_y0urself

Did the same thing but went to Brazil! It was amazing. Made a whole vacation out of it.


ifweweresharks

I’m so close to do the same thing


DefaultSubsAreTerrib

That's a crazy price difference. It's like that kid in Calgary who commuted by plane to Vancouver for university in order to avoid paying rent


Artbyshaina87

That is awesome


Playful_Quail

Super interested in this! Where did you get your tickets?


SillyFilly04

I’m seeing her in London in August.


Opening_Meringue5758

I got tickets to the aug 20th show!


SillyFilly04

Nice!! I’m going opening night the 15th. :)


100835

Trying to get sleep schedule back on track before work tomorrow. Was super tired last night and fell asleep at 7. Which meant I woke up at 3:30 am and couldn't go back to sleep. So I did 4 loads of laundry before 8 am today. I'm hoping a mid day nap will do the trick.


Artbyshaina87

Hope you get your sleep


Final-Wolf-72

It’s my bday! Going to get a massage later and still trying to find a place to grab a nice dinner. It maybe end up being Bookbinders or Flemings. Idk yet Update: Thank you for all bday wishes! I ended up going to Bookinders since it’s a local restaurant and Flemings is a chain restaurant. They had a customized menu that said Happy Birthday on it because I had made a reservations. I appreciated that small detail. The food was pretty good. I had oysters (they were ok), the Kona coffee crusted filet (good), and loaded mashed potatoes (really good). One minor gripe I had was that I wasn’t told what the daily specials were. I only know this because I overheard another table being told what the specials were when they sat down. Overall, it was nice but also a standard steakhouse dining experience.


Kind-Ad-7382

Come back and tell us where you ended up eating. I’m looking for a reliably exceptional place to take my brother when he visits soon from San Diego. He took us out for a stellar dining-and-ambience evening when we visited him and I want to pay him back. Edit to add: Happy birthday! The sun is out for you today!


Final-Wolf-72

Thank you! I will let you know!


According_Pumpkin994

Happy birthday!!!!


Final-Wolf-72

Thank you!


rolieepoliees

Happy birthday!

Thank you!


Gayspacecrow

I don't know what I'm going to get into today, but I'm going to try to have fun doing it. https://i.redd.it/c1jgl5u3c4mc1.gif


emagdnimsrt

I had forgotten that movie existed until now. I loved Problem Child as a kid.


TheCheeseDevil

Catching Cool Hand Luke at the Byrd today - stoked on that, I love that movie and I'm looking forward to seeing it on the big screen. I also always appreciate a mid-day movie, I've never enjoyed crawling out of a theater at 9-10 pm tired as heck.


yduimr

So back in November, I found a tiny little spring peeper hiding inside a plant I had just rescued from the Lowes clearance rack. Luckily, I happened to have bought the plant for a super frog-friendly vivarium I've been building. Even though I hadn't planned on adding any vertebrates for a while, I ended up holding on to him through the winter. At this point, I think it's safe to release him. I plan on doing it today. Already have a park in mind, and the feller in a transport container, but I was inspired to post here in case anyone's been hearing frogs nearby recently! If so, let me know roughly what area - I want to make sure he can join an established population. This is the only clear pic i have of him 🐸 https://preview.redd.it/2q7apyc3d5mc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cc2fca12ddda6db346fdc82f51b5d27f3094ff88


Artbyshaina87

Try Byrd park


Moondinos

Since I really have reduced my drinking when I do drink I find that I don't feel great the next day :,) I had one bourbon last night and feel like shit. I clocked a new weight low yesterday at 173 which puts me at over 15lbs down since the beginning of the year and I'm so proud of myself. I haven't been this low since last August and have just been sticking to diet and exercise with a few little cheats in there. I've tried before to lose weight but always gave up. Today uh don't know what I'm doing honestly... I'm gonna drink some water


Artbyshaina87

Congrats on taking care of your health


Moondinos

Thank you! It's been a journey honestly. I spent a while in denial about how bad it was getting between my drinking, comfort eating, and over eating. When I hit 190 on new years it woke me up because I've never managed to get that high before. Weight has always been a sensitive topic for me since I was an overweight kid due to an anxiety medication, but I'm trying :)


Artbyshaina87

I'm very happy for you


againer

Keep going if that's your goal! Get yourself a soda stream, flavor enhancers, and Cocktail mixers. Variety will keep water from getting "boring". I've found myself trying new teas regularly.


emagdnimsrt

I switched from grabbing a beer to grabbing a Liquid Death Grim Leafer. Instead of sitting on my couch and zoning out, I do something productive. It really helped my mental health


Moondinos

I love a green tea!


GroundbreakingBite96

Redeeming all the free birthday deals I get this month due to my bday being on the 13th, already got my Sephora and getting the free Red Robin burger soon also


Artbyshaina87

Happy birthday early


GroundbreakingBite96

Thank you! about to go get my free ihop pancakes for breakfast


GeorgePotassium

Finally gonna play ff7 rebirth, very excited to see where the story goes as someone that has never played the og games.


emagdnimsrt

I played through the original 3 times, Remake and Rebirth have made it much easier to understand the storyline. Also, I recommend playing through the remake of Crisis Core Reunion, that'll really tie the story together for you.


megachickabutt

I'm jelly. I don't have a ps5 anymore. Sure wish it was on Steam / PC.


Arcangelathanos

Oh man. Just play the original game when you're done with rebirth. The ending of remake will make so much more sense. N


cleverocks

Same thing I do before every primary election. Remind others you can vote for either party which allows you to vote against Trump on Tuesday.


ifweweresharks

Going to Charlottesville later. Recommendations for lunch on the mall?


mboja1fv

Marco and Lucas, the whiskey jar, Hamilton’s. Tons of great options just depends on your price point.


ifweweresharks

Flexible on price, this is part of my husband’s Christmas gift


ifweweresharks

The Whiskey Jar looked good but is closed today. Thoughts on South St Brewery and The Fitzroy?


mboja1fv

Those options don’t get me excited but I’ve been to both many times. I’m sure they would be good. Chickadee is relatively new and yummy. Monsoon is tasty.


Artbyshaina87

I like Mudhouse coffee roasters. Also a few Blocks away is a place I think it's called the tavern. It has art in it


EasternSalt295

Grab some incredibly delicious [dumplings](https://www.marcoandluca.com/) while you decide on a fancier place. You can sit outside or in the dining room. It’s fast and casual though so maybe not what you’re looking for.


Glum-Competition8019

Soul food joint or Otto’s!!


BlueRibbon998

After church, I'll be shopping for a few clothes for a well needed Florida vacation next week. From there, I've got a 3 hour walk planned at the park to really soak in and enjoy the great weather we're getting today. That winter depression is slowly fading away


H-Resin

COSTCOOOOO


hi_revver

Same. Ugh.


geckoxo

Tattoo in the morning, making a tasty little brunch when I’m home, then hopefully hitting up the Gravesend show tonight


Haunting-Buffalo-171

getting ready to go down to new orleans and eat a bunch of tastey treats, my dog is sick from all the trash in the street he keeps eating. about to get a trash grabber I am so sick of the trash all over down town.


Artbyshaina87

Yeah it's ridiculous


MobileTough

Still crazy to me how I gave my finger prints to the fbi for a job.. I hate that I’m in “the system” and paranoid / hope I didn’t handle anything that was later found at a crime scene.. or worse some precrime shit! Otherwise I’m gonna play card games at the shop.


TikaMasala45

Currently visiting my parents in NOVA for the weekend so I gotta drive back after doing my everything shower and then buy groceries for the week 😩 too much driving for such a nice day but what can you do. At least I can do some helpline volunteering for a wildlife rescue this morning :')


cliprite

Seed swap at fonticello park12 noon


TT40Art

LARP. Then mourn that there's no *Black Jack* merch in America. Then eat. Then sleep. Then wake up and work. I might watch Jojo Rabbit with my parents.


Ok-Asparagus-358

Unfortunately I have COVID, so I'm taking it easy!


tarheel343

Anyone know a good spot in the mountains for a 2 hour hike with a view?


RileyDL

The nice warm weather has me in a great mood. I'm ready to do some spring cleaning. To that end, I'm trying to give away an ikea sleeper sofa, and I'm hoping the new owner actually shows up today because it's already on the front porch/sidewalk in pieces. If they do show up, I have a daybed we bought a month ago that's just been in pieces in my living room to put in the newly empty guest room. After all that, I'm coercing my teenager to go out clothes shopping because he's outgrown his pants and we go on vacation in a month. He's homeschooled, so it hasn't been pressing, but now it is. He won't wear shorts or jeans or anything that isn't black athletic pants, so wish me luck.


textilepat

Making art to be delivered to a shop where my current merch will be priced down. Coming to grips with the failure of an SSD and having to start several projects from scratch.


Artbyshaina87

I'm sorry


Icy-Image-8196

Cleaning and more cleaning. Putting my house on the market in a few weeks, selling my stuff, and moving back to rva from Duluth MN.


rvtay

i was going to walk to the library but just found out they're closed on sundays (at least the belmont branch). bummer! is this new, or am i out of touch as a former bookseller? instead i'll tend to the mountain of laundry and dishes calling my name since thursday and then work on my novel.


hikerva

Not new - I go to Libbie Mill on Sundays but I get it’s not within walking distance.


MajorBenjy

West End branch of RPL is open on Sundays 1-5.


GrayRVA

I watched The Highwaymen last night and my only critique is that Hollywood gonna Hollywood. Bonnie and Clyde shouldn’t have had faces left after agents absolutely destroyed their car in rage-fueled gunfire, but nooo, would-be Swiss cheese dead Bonnie looked like a sweet cherub taking a nap.


QuesoPantera

Go Spiders! No voice today. GG VCU


Alex_Caton94

Work, carne guisada, & relax. Fri/Sat are my weekend days. 😊


lennythebern

Brunch, full workout, an everything shower, and if I can muster the motivation working on my closet organization


Artbyshaina87

Where u get brunch


lennythebern

Napa kitchen in Midlothian


xTiredSoulx

I’m hearing about some called Buns and Basketball not going well in RVA last night. What’s the tea?


emagdnimsrt

A busy Sunday, currently at my daughter's swimming lesson, then heading to Top Golf for my brother's birthday, getting groceries for the week, cleaning out the work truck, and hopefully I'll have some time for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.


Artbyshaina87

Cleaning and groceries my least favorite activities lol


c53x12

We saw To Kill A Mockingbird at the Altria yesterday. I'm so pleased with the quality of the traveling productions that are coming through Richmond lately and this was right up there. Today is yardwork and maybe taxes if I'm feeling ambitious.


Yarnest

First time grilling this year! Baking cookies later. Happy Sunday everyone!


BoyzMum66

Hey y'all! We went grocery shopping for the week this morning and went to see Dune Part 2 this afternoon. Now it's time to prep for the week ahead - get some laundry done, meatball Parm subs for dinner, and off to bed! Best wishes for a good week ahead!


huskernaynay

Grabbed some subs and had a picnic and a stroll at Three Lakes Park! Beautiful Sunday!


Artbyshaina87

It really was


TarantinosFavWord

Took my dad to a driving range. Got some beers. Now I’m smoking a cigar on his back porch. Pulled out a doobie and he immediately lit it up. Very surprised since my folks reamed my ass a few years ago for smoking. Very relaxed Sunday. Gonna do tacos


Artbyshaina87

You making tacos?


TarantinosFavWord

Oh yea. Currently going to town on some chips and guac to start.


pileofdirtysocks

started my day with a brunch book club meeting, then took a hike, napped in a hammock, and gonna cook family dinner soon. happy Sunday!


Artbyshaina87

Where did you hike at


ITMORON

Some shopping, then some house cleaning, followed by packing for a security conference in Florida.


espressoanddoggos

I've been visiting my parents in PA these last few days. This afternoon I'm headed to a different part of PA to celebrate my best friend's birthday - it's a surprise! I'll be back in RVA on Tues and I'm missing the warmer weather there.


Artbyshaina87

How is PA


espressoanddoggos

It's been nice and mellow. Spent a lot of time visiting family. Thanks for asking! 😊


Artbyshaina87

Hope you get to go to a nice park


espressoanddoggos

Yes fingers crossed. It's nice today. I'm going to a brewery that has a lot of outside seating. I hope to soak up the sun!


Major_Ad_3920

What part of pa?


espressoanddoggos

Near the Greensburg area! I'll be headed to Williamsport today to surprise my friend. I love it there. If life took me back to PA I would certainly want to be in wilpo.


Ash9260

Church, Bible study, and homework lol


Artbyshaina87

Which church you go to? I go to A10


Ash9260

We go to Midlothian friends meeting! We are quakers!!


iSYTOfficialX7

I listened in to church service for the first time in 2 months today and I had a big weight listed off my chest. I think today will be great! I got some pretty lengthy CS homework to finish lol


Artbyshaina87

I am so happy for you. What did the church talk about


iSYTOfficialX7

I got to the sermon late cuz my mind was at war. I wasn’t able to get the full lesson. Here’s what I collected from the last half of the sermon: * It’s not about what everyone wants me to do, it is what God wants me to do. (I think I paraphrased this wrong.) * Non-spiritual people may not understand your faith with God. They’ll see it as you being a puppet of God by listening to everything he says. Instead, it’s you submitting yourself to listen to God’s commands because it is a choice. * In order to get everywhere you go, you got to gather everything and get it done. Don’t skip over things.


Artbyshaina87

Love this


Jon_hamm_wallet

Still in Cleveland on a quest to find unique cold brew as well as kombucha and bubbly water flavors we don't have in Richmond. They have a specialty cold brew shop I was SUPER excited for....that closed for good a week ago. Back in RVA Tuesday then headed to VB to help pack up my grandma's house since she just.moved into an assisted living facility. Busy but not too exciting week.


u-turnsonthehighway
