Hey, here from Daniel Green. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for using your not-insignificant influence in order to right the wrongs against authors re: Audible. You're a good human being, and far better than most we see these days in positions of power. Again, thank you.
Love how this is under a video of the guy just eating bread for half an hour 🤣 But absolutely agree, he's a living legend and an inspiration (and he knows his stuff when it comes to bread)
I don’t know if Dan ever reads or is read these comments, but I grabbed Serial Killer from the bookstore earlier this week and am just finishing it now. It’s excellent. I’m gonna go get Mr Monster on my day off on Friday. So I just wanted to say “thank you” for putting such awesome stuff out into the world. I will be buying the rest of them in very short order haha
We met your dad at Dragonsteel in the elevator and (before he introduced himself) he asked what we were doing here and we said we were here to see Brandon, and he said, "That guy? You don't really think he that good, do you?"
Not to pressure those who don’t want to be on screen, but it would be fun to have a couple room cams for the occasional shot of Adam, Skar, the staff, etc.
Honestly, I love this kind of stuff. It's so cool listening to someone talk about their passions just for the sake of sharing what they love with others.
My jealousy is unmitigated. I've said more than once I could survive on good breads and coffee. Japan has Tamago Pan and Mexican conchas are wonderful. Then there are the cakes, pound cake, lemon "bread", coffee cake. Humm...I feel bereft.
I missed out on the GPA boost from testing out of language classes at BYU - i learned Marshallese - only spoken by less than 100k people worldwide so no college credit for me
My father is French and also a lover of bread baking. He regularly sends pictures of the various loaves and baguettes he has made - hard for me when I'm trying to reduce my carbs! Part of me longs to have tartines with butter and jam...
Good news is you don’t need to reduce carbs unless you are going for some specific strength training. The carbohydrate just makes you store more water, that’s why you see such a rapid weigh loss on low carb diet. You can lose weight while enjoying your father master pieces! What makes a huge difference is cutting on liquid calories (sugary drinks, alcohol etc) and added sugar. Also if you have one tartine with tablespoon of butter and tablespoon of jam for sanity sake you will benefit immensely and will more likely stick with the diet. Weigh loss isn’t about willpower but about sustainable, systemic and consistent eating habits. Creating a small calorie deficit is all you really need, no need to be too restrictive. If your diet centers around mostly whole foods and lots of healthy vegetables and you have decent portion control without starving yourself, you can absolutely have tartines with butter and jam…
@@Morfeusm Ah, but that's the thing - I am specifically strength training! And I know I could have the occasional tartine, but when I need to buy or bake an entire baguette that will go stale in three days if I don't eat it - well, that's a lot more than one tartine !
Hm yeah that’s much tougher. Good luck with your fitness journey then, it’s a lot of sacrifices but also fun! I miss my weight training days, but I rather stick with my distance running! Have a nice day!
Brandon moving into an unfinished loft sounds like the perfect opportunity for a kid. I'd have taken that as well, probably would have had to fight my brother over it though...
Love this slice of life episode. Making different breads is a great skill. I totally get wanting your own room. When I finally had my own room as a teen, I never went back until I got married.
Bad movie suggestion: Desperado (1995) takes itself super seriously as a action/romance but watches like a comedy with hilariously unrealistic gunfights. Fair warning from a fellow prude though, there is a sex scene which I think only shows breasts, but I don't know for sure because I just skipped it
Hear me out. Brandon's next original Cosmere world needs to have bread-based magic. Next, publish a Cosmere cookbook and get Brandon's dad to come up with the bread recipes. Guaranteed bestseller.
Me as a German shaking my head while Brandon and Dan eat cake and pastries. I love how passionate Papa Sanderson is. Yet alone that Dan has to take his Lactaid to eat bread. Bread is made of water, flour and yeast or something similar. 😆
He said his dads name is Wyn.. or however its spelled. But is that his middle name.. or what is his middle name. Why did he skip that part??? Dan told us his dads full name.
I have to admit when i seen the episode title i was hoping for a different type of "freshly baked". Also how does Brandon's dad not like sourdough isnt that the king of artisan breads?
I fear the wrath and judgement of Sir Sanderson's level of taste and quality of break. I am a huge soughdough fan and just proud I don't eat bleach standard white bread no more (as I had as a child), but now this man has me questioning myself even further, but then again my family and I are go through 5 loaves a week (kids eat them pbjs!). Perhaps I should remain in my lane. haha
Yeah, what I liked about serving Spanish speaking in the States, while it isn't quite the same immersion experience as going foreign, we did get to experience a bit of everything when it came to how each country speaks Spanish. Was definitely very hard to get used to though coming out of the MTC.
I still remember 10th grade "dumbbell" English, and at the end of the year, my teacher telling me "I have to fail you. You did nothing all year. I'm telling them to put you in Honors English next year." My grades shot from Fs to Bs. I'd been bored out of my mind, and my attitude was "I don't need to know how to diagram sentences ... I can write better than all my teachers." It's funny how reading about a dozen books a week for years and years gives you an incredible grasp of sentence structure, without doing those silly diagrams.
There is some merit in having theory to back up your practical understanding - knowing why something is right rather than just intuiting it from experience - and it helps to know the theory if you have any aspiration to ever teach anyone (not necessarily in a classroom). The problem with just recognising good structure without understanding why it is, is that when you want to go beyond what you already know, you've got little or no basis for that extension, while a solid grounding in theory will let you fill in the gaps. On the other hand, I'm firmly in the descriptivist camp when it comes to English grammar - the theory is a bunch of rules made up to try to fit how people speak, and write, rather than something the language was formed around (though that's complicated by the ongoing development of the language now that the rules exist), so it's best described as an approximation to good English (unless you fall foul of a prescriptivist).
