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.

It's really helpful.

I made some lemon poppyseed rolls earlier this year and I thought they were a cool alternative to cinnamon rolls. They had zest in the dough, filling, and glaze. Was a fun idea!

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

What about lemon poppyseed rolls?

(I haven't made cinnamon rolls in a bit)

Today's bake, one of two (muffins are later).

I swear the cheese isn't actually burnt, it's just real close.

Good way to use up extra mozzarella from pizza last weekend.

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.

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.

Dang I needed this today. Not a hard hike, but really quiet, no people, and tons of birds.

Really nice out, and lots of shade.

I love an old railroad.

It's been a while since I'm made a fritatta. For how easy they are, I always forget how pretty they look.

I love how you can throw almost anything into one.

Got to see some tide pools this weekend.

I'm always a bit in awe of them. They're so chaotic and full of life and movement.

I've always enjoyed the bits of life on the fringes of or in between things, and tide pools are such a good example of that.

I love getting to see them.

How can someone be so happy with such a mouthful of sand?

I really need to bake more. My brain goes quiet when I'm baking, and so much of my anxiety goes poof. Something about the process and how hands on it is.

These scones have an absurd amount of vanilla in them and I love them for it.

Honestly I don't know why I buy papers from @theonion.com. Their horoscopes aren't even close!

Just finished Volume 4 of the current Poison Ivy run and I'm really enjoying it. Something about Ivy and Harley Quinn in this feels very relatable.

Read some darker things recently so I'm trying to read some stories that have queer romances.

Figured I should finally try making gnocchi. I think they turned out OK for a first time!

Kept it really simple this time, with a plain red sauce.

What is your favorite way to eat gnocchi?

These were fun. Meringue cookies with strawberry powder and a raspberry coulis swirl.

They have a good crunch with a bit of chew in the middle due to the coulis. Nice bright flavor.

Colorful and dramatic!

Haha dang this is everything I wanted it to be.

A big plate of noodles, sauce, and meatballs. Nostalgia on a plate for me.

I absolutely love cooking for folks. It's one of the main ways I show I care. I love having people over for a meal.

House smells fuckin amazing.

I love cooking for people.

Making spaghetti and meatballs today.

Just got the sauce started. Now it's going into the oven for 5 or 6 hrs.

I'm actually pretty excited for this one. It's been a while since I've done a long-cooked tomato sauce.

Weird how I'm craving cozy noodles more than usual this last month.

Not the prettiest loaf but it was exactly what I wanted. Used hominy cooking liquid instead of water, and 30% whole wheat.

Good sandwich bread and had a nice lowkey corn taste.

Made some savory steamed egg custard tonight, with green onion, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Dang it's cozy.

Could've made it prettier by covering it in plastic but I don't love using plastic sheets.

I swear, the darker things get, the cozier my cooking becomes.
