Finally, her husband went alone to explore the situation and living conditions and to prepare and facilitate the family's journey home, if possible. But according to a message from home, he was arrested by the Soviet GPM and deported to Russia. The last message from him she received was from Focșani, Romania, the large camp for the forcibly deported, through a refugee. Since then, there has been no trace of him."

This is what I have cobbled together using Google Translate and Chat GPT: "The family last lived here in the Kellerberg camp but wanted to return home, which they considered carefully due to the prevailing conditions in Hungary.

@Cerberus I have done so!

@Stephie evidently they've been using performance-enhancing sausages

@Stephie oh, it carries on as usual, you?

Just need a way to get the file to you

so I'm enlisting you for translation services again :D

well, it turns out that they can (and indeed have) provided high-resolution scans of the documents

Hello @Stephie and @Cerberus. Do you remember last year when you helped translate some old documents relating to my mother?

@Stephie grumbling with his mouth full of cake, I get it

possibly, possibly

panticipation?

panstipation perhaps

there should be a word for the impatience felt while waiting for bread to cool

the result of the poolish (give or take some time and other stuff)

My old chums are the inimitable @Stephie @Cerberus and @rumtscho, but I'll take an HNY from anyone :)

I just put a bowl of poolish on the counter and it made me think of my old chums in the Frying Pan

@Tinkeringbell this machine can produce 18g shots. so a double shot is 36g of espresso... if that ain't coffee I don't know what is!

@Tinkeringbell yeah I use barista versions

it's easier with cow's milk, less so with oat milk (which I now use)

so you can get the 'microfoam'

but you slide that off to reveal a regular wand

it makes a big frothy foam

the wand has a cappuccino attachment by 'default'
