I've had it for about a year now with no problems. I got it used though so I'm not sure how long it's been running.

We have the DF64 gen 2 and use it everyday. I absolutely adore it. That being said, we never had the 54, so I'm not sure if the 64 is worth the extra cash. But I've only had good experiences with DF Grinders and will always recommend them.

Yes. I'm not sure about the earliest example, but there was a riot in the ancient city of Pompeii that was so bad that the Roman Senate banned games in Pompeii for 10 years.

You can read more about it and an ancient fresco depicting the event here.

This looks pretty similar to the recipe I used but the cornmeal is new. Great idea, thanks!

I'll give this a try! Thank you!

This is all very helpful advice, thank you! And yes, I should have slashed the top. The recipe I was following didn't include that in the instructions so I didnt do it and in the end it didn't rise as much as I was expecting.

When you say to add butter or oil to the flour, do you mean in the dough or in the flour used when shaping the loaf before baking?

Oh wow - been thinking of trying focaccia, this recipe looks really doable!

I have found it so difficult to crochet with hooks that small. This is amazing and really impressive!

Thanks! It's alternating single crochet and chain stitch, working single crochets into the chain stitches of the previous row.

I tried Tunisian crochet a few years ago and haven't picked it back up - this is encouraging me to do so! Lovely work

She's beautiful!! Great color
