I love this. Makes me feel less foolish. I apprenticed in a bakery where we tasted everything before it went in the oven. It save me from ruining a few dozen loaves of pumpkin bread. With yeast bread I've decided it's just easier to activate the yeast before I add anything else. Even when a recipe calls for dumping everything in the bowl together I still mix the yeast, the liquid, and a little sugar just to make sure it's going to go. But I'm sure I'll find plenty of other mistakes to make. Thanks, Aaron
