Fresh from the oven! Baked some peanut butter M&M cookies for my dad, who isn't feeling well. Allergies suck.

My dad recently started a new hobby... Legos. We've been having fun building them together. Tonight, we watched Jaws while working on the new Jaws set.

We're going to need a bigger boat.

Spent the day at Disneyland with some friends that I haven't seen in 5 years. Gotta say, it was nice to ignore the state of the country for 13 hours. Being able to unplug from the internet and live in the moment... it did wonders for my mental health.

Totally vegging out and crocheting tomorrow.

This weekend's bread! I did the same recipe as the jalapeño cheddar I made last week, but used pepperoni and mozzarella instead. 2nd ever artisan loaf! I need to get better at taking pictures.

As requested by my dad, I made my 1st artisan sourdough loaf - jalapeño cheddar.

It was a day full of food. I baked my weekly loaves of sourdough bread in the morning. My dad grilled steak and potatoes for dinner. And I made my first sourdough discard recipe for apple fritter bread. Dad is an apple fritter fiend and gave it 2 forks up.

Finally finished my entry into the OC Fair's competition. I made the doll specifically for this year's theme - Find Your Fun. I made the hippo earlier in the year and decided to enter him as well, just for the heck of it.

Fresh from the oven! This time, I used the lids to my pullman loaf tins. We are in a heat wave in California and think she might have overproofed. I don't know. Still very new to sourdough. They came out pretty. Smells delicious.

Look! I made my first sourdough bread! I love sourdough loaves, but prefer sandwich bread. The house smelled so good while it was baking.

I’m so sick and tired of hearing about book bans! Can we seriously just ban stupid people instead? If something offends you don’t engage with it!

One of my local libraries had their used booksale this weekend. Picked up some books for myself, but also grabbed a handful of children's books for a little free library.

Support the libraries!!

My dad and I have Saturday movie night. Tonight was Wicked. Great movie. Too bad he doesn't really like musicals. He only watched it because I wanted to. He's been wanting to watch the new Mad Max. I think that'll be next week's pick.

Decompressing after a day like today was much needed. I played in my reading journal a bit. It's the small things in life that'll keep you as grounded as possible. Standing with Ukraine!

I spent the last week downloading all 2,835 Kindle books from my Amazon library. I had originally planned to only download the books I paid money for since 90% of my books were free purchases. Fuck you, Bezos. I took all of them with me. Even got 100+ more free books today. No more ebooks from them!
