Best forming, we’ll not talk about the cuts (‘twas the angle, always the angle).
BUT I like colour and the smell.

Well, my research is going poorly. What research I hear you ask? Well, short version I want to cycle to the production sites of medieval Colognes trade goods…
The first trade goods were Rhenish Stoneware goods. And it went quite well, apart from a few museums being closed for renovations.
Cool, I put the missing museums on a list and contemplated my next coup.
I chose harnesses. Why, I hear you ask!
Easy, in my collection of digitised books, and there’ll be a post about that later, the making and the makers of harnesses are well attested.
Turning this into actually visitabel locations remains elusive.
It turns out, I was lucky with stoneware. In the mid 19th century stoneware was first discovered by collectors and the systematised by scholars. And the books have been digitised and are easily accessible.

at the moment the mood is slightly frustrated and slightly hopeful.
My next #historycycle research is not progressing well. I had selected the making of harnishes in Cologne as the topic, as there was an important guild for that and mentions in some of my books of the export to eg. England, Netherlands, Scandinavia.
Unfortunately the internet shows “only” Passau, Augsburg and Nürnberg harnishes, as the harnish makers there worked for the “rich and famous” and the harnishes are preserved in museums.
Bah …
But I will overcome
Focaccia molto crocante … by accident
Forgot to turn the oven down after heating to 250 C + But it was still very tasty. On top pieces of Gouda, which also got cross.
Also, forgot to take a picture of the finished product.

Well chuffed. Because of reasons fermented at room temp, about 28 C …
