The easiest thing to do when you overproof a sourdough loaf is to make focaccia!

Little mozzarella sandwiches for lunch 😋

It was dreary in DC today.

So spent the afternoon at the National Gallery of Art to see THE STARS WE DO NOT SEE exhibit of Australian Indigenous Art and popped in to PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE BLACK ARTS MOVEMENT. I would highly recommend both!

My love of third spaces (and the Smithsonian) continues.

I admit: I make pizza way more often than is prudent.

Been craving popovers, but don’t have the proper tin to bake them in. Turns out these old yogurt pots that you see all the time at reuse stores work just as well!

So...

What did you do today?

A little midweek bike ride…

A dollop of the last of the passion fruit curd to close the season and a taste of the first batch of apple butter to celebrate the new one. Served on mini cheesecakes!

All homemade.

My brother is back in our hometown for a friend’s wedding—which means cinnamon rolls on a Friday morning.

Except everybody wanted theirs with different toppings…

For dinner: seared tuna steak with homemade coleslaw and a mixed lettuce and avocado salad. Plus a bag of potato chips on stand-by.

Leveraged my local Buy Nothing group (using the app, not Facebook) for some cuttings!

A little protesting with the parentals to start the holiday week! #workersoverbillionaires #laborday

Homemade pizza with homemade dough. Fresh from the oven!

Late afternoon/early evening hike…

Descending below the rocks…

From a short hike: a lonely ant taking care of clean up of the invasive species—dragging the remnants back to their lair.

I took an waxed amaryllis bulb that had been sitting in the basement for a few years and potted it.

Earlier this summer it bloomed for the second time. After research, I figured out how to pollinate it and harvested seeds.

Today, my project has come to fruition.

BABY AMARYLLIS!

Today was a sourdough day. Made with a mixture of whole wheat, spelt, and bread flour. And it tastes really great 😋

Rainy afternoon meant instead of going on a long hike, I made carrot cake.

Same thing, if you judge them by my relative happiness after performing each of the two activities.

I've been tending to plants most of my adulthood.

At some point the excitement that comes from each new leaf on a propagation success will get old... right?

RIGHT?!

My first attempt at angel food cake. It was not an unmitigated success, but I'll take a mitigated success these days.

Plus, the really stellar berries and whipped cream masked the biggest flaws.

Protesting is the best workout. Got my steps and stretched my democracy muscle. ‘Cause you know what they say about muscles you don’t use—they atrophy. #handsoff #dc
