From the PNW. Very enthusiastic.
Made this cake recently, and I liked it a lot more than I expected to!
It's a Gateau Invisible. Basically super thin slices of apple with juuuuuuust enough batter to hold them together.
It has 2.5 lbs of apples in it! Really intensely appley and a perfect fall cake.

It's really scary times. I'm scared.
For some reason, cooking always helps. Even something simple.
It's more than a distraction. It feels more like a ritual. The combination of smell, touch, movement, and sequence sort of helps me get out of my head and into my body.

Damn a perfectly ripe tomato can make my whole day.
I love this time of year. It's amazing how good some produce is for just a month or two.

Saw @delilahbon.bsky.social play in Portland last night.
Fuck I needed that.
It was such an amazing show. Not only the music, but being in a room with so many people who were angry about where things are going. You could really feel the love from the band and from the audience.

Went out to a queer club last night and danced the entire night.
I needed that in ways I can't describe.
Just dancing for hours and seeing everyone dancing, getting sweaty, and loving each other.
I dunno. It fills the soul. Times are scary and I think we need stuff like this.

Going to be in San Francisco next weekend and I'm excited!
Any favorite queer spots in the city?
I haven't been in ages so I just kind of want to chill and maybe go out dancing.

I just found some tops I bought very early transition, that I had threw into the back of a drawer because they didn't look right.
Tried them on a couple of years later and it's funny how differently they fit now.
It's a weird juxtaposition.

Haven't done a lot of baking lately but I did make some Pollo Al Pastor (from Rick Martinez' book).
It was good!
I really like making a week's worth of lunches on Sunday. It always feels like a gift to future-me when I'm inevitably worn out during the week.
God summers are always so busy

Went to a trans clothing swap this morning and had coffee with some lovely folks.
Got to drop off some nice work clothes that no longer fit me or my partner.
I really love seeing the little ways our community takes care of itself.

I hate how irrationally nervous I get on labs day.
Like, will my results be too high? Too low? Will my doctor see something and want to drastically change my hrt?
The power dynamics with medical care and trans folk are fucked up. I'm nervous every time I meet with my doctor.

Went to a dive bar last night with my book, and just read in a corner. I think I need to do this more regularly.
Being out around folks, even not interacting, is just so helpful for me when I'm trying to not slide into a doomy mentality.
Vibes were good, too.

Hmmm mixed feelings about kpop dance class.
Definitely felt good to move my body, and I definitely want dance back in my life.
Not sure kpop is for me though. I'm not sure if it's the style or that I felt awkward being by far the oldest person there.

Taking a dance class tonight, after years of not dancing.
Actually pretty nervous! Dance used to be a huge part of my life, but I haven't danced since transitioning and I've got a lot of complicated feelings about it.
Trying out kpop for the first time! Hopefully it's fun!

It's hot and sunny this week.
And... I think I like it?
I always *hated* the sun pre-transition, but it feels totally different on my skin now. I suddenly want to wear shorts and tanks all the time.
Not an effect I expected! I have no idea what specifically changed to make it feel so different.

Went to a pride event this weekend that was mostly trans folks.
I didn't realize how much I needed it.
Just the simple thing of seeing so many of us in one spot, without needing to respond as much to pressure from society.
It really gives me hope. There are a lot of us and we're amazing.

OK last of the nine dough balls. I'll shut up about flatbreads for a bit.
But dang, this one was so good with hot sauce.
I love eggs on flatbread. I love just having dough balls in the fridge to make stuff with.

Just finished wyffh book one, after seeing @katie.bzky.team post about it a few times.
Damn. I didn't think it would hit me that hard.
It's very sweet and cute, but each chapter gave me more anxiety than the last. I was rooting for them all the way, but damn they do not make good choices.

Dang. I'm so full. I've been craving pizzas for a while.
Feeding folks makes me so happy. I dunno. It's just such a special feeling to hang a bunch of folks eat food you make, and leave full.
It's definitely one of the biggest ways I show care to folks.

Got nine dough balls ready to go. Ingredients prepped. Oven is preheating.
Time to make some pizza!
Gosh pizza dough is such a joy to work with. It's so elastic and smooth.
Super excited for tonight. It's been a while since I've got to make a bunch of these.

It's one thing to steal the climbing shoes out of my car.
But did they also have to take the bag of jellybeans from the center console?

Dang. Reading "How to Fly" by @badambulist.bsky.social and I swear it's going to give me an anxiety attack.
I like it a lot so far though. It's very sweet. But damn.
Got it in the Queer Lights in the Darkness bundle. So many new books to check out! Really excited to read through them.

2nd hrt-iversary today.
On one hand, I love myself, my body, and who I'm becoming more than ever.
I look at pictures from the last two years and I smile *so* much more now than I used to.
On the other hand, shit is so much scarier and it's getting worse.
What a weird fucking dichotomy.

Just got Marina tickets for September, and I'm going to see Delilah Bon in August.
I'm very excited for both!
Really enjoyed the recent albums from both artists and I'm super excited to see them live. I don't get to a lot of concerts, so this is gonna be great.

I went to a bakery fair yesterday, with about 20 small bakeries and had maybe the best cookie I've had in years.
It was a chewy corn cookie sandwich, filled with blueberry preserves and blueberry buttercream.
I'm now obsessed with making something similar. Maybe lofthouse style?
