I have so many questions about clothing words. Like why do we have Shirt, shirtsleeves, and sleeves. But only Pants and Pant Legs. If you refer to them only as Legs then are you speaking about the pants or your legs? I suggest Pleeves. The best of the words- sleeves and pants.

I want to write more in 2026. And there’s only one way I can do it—by writing the most self-indulgent garbage you have ever seen.

I booked myself in for a massage tomorrow with my physio lady cause my jaw and neck are all locked up from the dentist today and it makes you fill out a little questionnaire to better tell your PT what kind of treatment you need. except when I was filling it in I’d just taken a bunch of pain killers and words were hard but then I logged back in to make sure I’d actually booked it and

I shouldn’t be laughing, I feel awful, but I’m just imagining you addressing a person this way.

Don’t feel too bad, my physio lady was pissing herself laughing when I showed up. Everytime she tried to pull up my profile to talk about the appointment she’d devolve into hearty chuckling while apologizing continually for laughing at my expense.

And for anyone wondering she was able to ease a considerable amount of the pain. Even while occasionally breaking out into bouts of barely suppressed giggling.

so i dont usually go on reddit

but has someone on the dungeon meshi subreddit figured out more detailed recipe amounts of the pan-steamed bread that senshi makes in the orc episode?

once we run low on bread in my household I wanna make some anime-ass bread

bitternest

This was gonna be a comment but it got too long.

So looking at the process, the steaming is completely incidental to the main cooking - it's the final step and I'm… genuinely not sure what it's doing. You do not steam baked goods at the end because it turns the crust rubbery.

I think what Senshi is actually doing is closer to baking - the vessel that far from the fire is as close to indirect heat as you're going to manage without an oven. I think what the writer means by "steaming," because we don't see him add any water to the pot neither in, is just letting the bread finish "baking" in the vessel. To get the finished product I think you actually want a dutch oven here.

And sure enough, if you google "campfire dutch oven bread" you get a very credible approximation of Senshi's final loaf.

You'd have to tweak it for a home oven and getting the "buns", but that process should yield you what you're looking for.

The extra bit of confusion is that the anime calls for "strong flour" in the English subs, which doesn't appear in the English dub, nor any scanlations I can find. That's broadly "bread flour" (as I'm sure you know, I'm just explaining for others), but the inconsistency is interesting. I'm also not convinced that bread flour is best for this.

If anyone has access to the original manga, they could check if Senshi says "強力粉" (strong/bread flour) or report what version of "粉" he uses.

theshitpostcalligrapher

okay so disclaimer that I'm not a professional baker first but:

gave me an incredibly close visual representation of senshi's camp bread, and the new place I've moved into has a small backyard and one of the household's miniature bbq seems to be back there.

It's winter right now but I could theoretically get some charcoal briquettes and do this as close as possible to the anime bread without having to light actual fires.

the next issue is this:

now, it's not the yeast adjustment that has me, since I know by vibes at this point how to raise starters and levains to make up for volume and bacterial culture differences.

it's the milk and eggs.

one of the defining things about rolls, I find, is the softness that milk and butter add. senshi's recipe barely has any fat in it other than the olive oil from the fire trap, so I'd be losing a lot of softness. His recipe doesn't have egg either, so I'd be losing structure.

in addition to that, the liquid:flour ratio is very different. Roll recipes usually have around a 1:3 liquid to flour ratio (eg 0.5Cwater+1.5Cmilk:6C flour). I don't know what hydration level Senshi's starter is at but it looks pretty 1:1 from the comic and anime, meaning that his has around TWICE the liquid in it proportionally, since 160:250 is abouuut 1:1.5

......

you see THIS IS WHY I WAS HOPING SOME SUBREDDITOR FIGURED IT OUT FOR ME

I JUST DROPPED EVERYTHING TO DO M A T H

alcibiades-hacks-it

I sense an opportunity to pass on one of the greatest lessons my Scoutmaster taught me!

Counting coals for Dutch ovens is the normal method, but it's also really inconsistent! Different size lumps or briquettes, coals getting smaller as they burn down, etc! So here's what you should do instead: Rings!

Basically make a ring around the perimeter of your Dutch oven under the bottom, and then put the listed number of rings on the top! You'll get much more consistent heat, and better cooking results!!

This blog post goes into additional detail if you want it!

theshitpostcalligrapher

were doing this folks were making this happen

also I know @bitternest irl so we're gonna have a proper go at trying to get close to senshi bread as possible without fucking up its structure some time this week fingers crossed

bitternest

Okay so, prelimnary-POC-that-I-didn't-think-would-work: done.

It, uh. Worked.

I legit cobbled this recipe together out of three separate ones, so there's a lot of room to improve, but here it is:

Ingredients

bread flour: 250g

water: 160ml

yeast: 1 standard packet

sugar: 30g

salt: 3.25g

olive oil: 35g

Steps (notice: if you don't have a stand mixer, I'm sorry, I'm useless at kneading and haven't done so manually in over a decade):

Warm water to 110F.

Whisk the warm water, yeast, and 15g of sugar together in the bowl of your stand mixer. Cover and allow to sit for 5 minutes.

Whisk remaining dry ingredients together in a bowl

Add half the dry ingredients to your now-bloomed yeast mixture

Using a dough hook, beat/mix ingredients together for 30 seconds

Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add remaining dry ingredients and olive oil

Set your standmixer to knead, and let it knead for 5 minutes

Dough is done if it springs back if poked lightly, or passes the widowpane test

Cover bowl and let it rise for 1 hour (1st proof)

Oil up your dutch oven

Punch the dough down and form evenly sized balls. Place them equidistant from each other in the dutch oven

Cover dutch oven, leave to rise for another hour (can probably go for 2 hours here) (2nd proof)

Preheat oven to 350F

Place dutch oven, covered with its lid, in the oven for 1 hour, removing the lid for the last 10m (could probably stretch to 15m for more colour)

Remove from oven and let cool

Eat!

I think the double proof did the majority of the legwork here. The dutch oven is good for getting good steam early on, which is important for crust development and airiness, but there's no way in hell it would turn out this light and fluffy without a 2nd proof.

If others want to try variations, go nuts. Tomorrow I'll post the version of this made by a baker buddy using tangzhong, which was a "breakthrough" realization before this fucking recipe just... worked?!?!

Anyways, happy baking

hbo max blocks screenshots even when I use the snipping tool AND firefox AND ublock which is a fucking first. i will never understand streaming services blocking the ability to take screenshots thats literally free advertising for your show right there. HOW THE HELL IS SOMEBODY GONNA PIRATE YOUR SHOW THROUGH SCREENSHOTS. JACKASS

somewhere out there is a guy who meticulously takes screenshots of every individual frame of his favorite tv shows and then painstakingly etches each one onto a roll of film which he puts into his old timey projector and recreates the footage as a silent film with his own lavishly hand-lettered dialogue cards and original score that he plays on his upright piano and charges audiences one shiny penny a play. at last, big media has finally outsmarted ol' Zachary Zoetrope

starts off as a cooking show and devolves into a heartfelt comedy of errors as all these professional top chefs use their decades of training & skill to try to help this one kid eat a balanced diet

biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist

by the end of the season the chefs have combined their knowledge to more-or-less figure out how to consistently make food that the judge is willing to eat. at which point we start over with a whole new season and a new judge with all new food issues!

today on the train home the guy next to me was on his phone and at one point i saw him go on tumblr and he just had like. a normie dash. like it was all photography. of nature and architecture. he was using tumblr the way a heterosexual landscaper for rich people might use instagram. i actually had to watch his screen for a few seconds to be sure it really was tumblr because i was so taken aback by the content he was viewing. this is why algorithmless websites are so beautiful btw because i genuinely didn't know that this side of tumblr even existed. he didn't even so much as scroll past any text posts.

Me: [learns to knit from youtube videos]

My ancestors: Our descendant, the heir to all our hopes and fears for a far-off future… She can buy fine clothes woven and knit by automatons, with but a fraction of a day’s earnings… and she does… she has so much free time to do as she pleases… and she uses some of that time to do what we did.

One woman from rural Poland, who died from smallpox in 1717 CE, a grandmother at 35: I knit roses and peonies into my and my children’s gloves… it wasn’t much extra work to dye the red, once I had already cleaned the wool and spun the yarn, and to knit in the designs… and I wasn’t a gifted knitter but I was a good knitter, and I thought, well, it might not make a difference to how warm the glove is, but it made the children happy and it made me happy. I liked to make things beautiful when I could.

Another woman, a peasant from what’s now France, who died from getting kicked by a mammoth in 8995 BCE: [Patting her on the back] I made my family’s clothes too. Every day my sister and I wove and wove and tended our children. We went out of our way to make the cloth lovely. Not a trace of it remains anywhere on earth now… But it mattered to us. And she might not know our names, or know it was us, but evidently, it matters to her too. She has so much beauty available to her, in every direction, and she wants to make it where we once made it.

[everyone sobbing and high-fiving each other.]

A man from Britain, 1104 CE, sitting at the trans-temporal telescope, reporting on my doings: She’s stopped knitting and now she’s playing minecraft.

The other ancestors: Ah, yes, the dream of building. We know this one well. What vision doth she design now?

Telescope man: Looks like… Some kind of floating temple?
