  6. At a client of mine’s in the early 00s:

    “Wow, hotdog stand. I’ve never seen anyone choose this, do you like it?” I asked.

    "No. I don’t know why it’s like that. I came in one day and there it was.”

    "Do you want me to change it back to normal colors?”

    "No, don’t change it!” they demanded, weirdly urgently.

    “OK.”

    They were later fired for conspiring w/ an IT support worker to embezzle a bunch of money. The IT worker even went to jail.

    That client? Novavax.

  9. Very small sample size but: I overshot kneading on one of two dough balls by 10 degrees to mid-80s F, so when I placed them in my fermenting tray (and flattened them out given I had so much space to work with, so that they would cool more evenly), I marked that one.

    After cold fermenting, the too-warm dough was slightly smaller, visually, than the correctly kneaded dough.

    Go figure.

  10. Maybe counter-inuitive but someone posted (I don’t remember who or where, probably on pizzamaking.com) that bulk fermenting dough like this at room temperatures effectively insulates the dough from dropping to fridge temps when you later cold ferment, what with all the bubbles.

    The dough should already have warmed up from both the cold strike water equalizing with the other ingredients to a target temp, and the kneading further raising the temp.

    Just throw it in the fridge immediately.
