all in all I'd rather be fishing
still working on my NEPA-style fried Sicilian pizza. 68% hydration, the bottom is fried in the pan with peanut oil on a pizza steel, crushed tomatoes, finely sliced onions, and topped with white cheddar. it's not exactly where I want it to be yet, but getting closer.

also it's delicious

the brewery down the street from me has a blackberry jalapeno ale on tap and it's a damn nice beer

will do. this was my NY style from the other night. the white with ricotta came out fantastic

made two different types of pizza dough tonight - 58% hydration for NY style and 68% for a northeastern Pennsylvania fried Sicilian style

also on a possibility related note, you know what movie I haven't watched in years? Total Recall...

my first attempt at making homemade potato rolls. not sure where my sudden interest in baking came from, but I'm enjoying eating the results

my latest attempt at making sourdough bagels. these didn't come out perfect but at least with this batch I don't feel the need to bury them in the backyard and pour concrete over them so they don't escape

was driving through Punxsutawney, PA on the way home and had to come see where the groundhog lives

on one hand it's nice to live in an area where the borough puts up Christmas lights on the light poles every year

but my Grinch side wants to point out that it's not even Thanksgiving yet

since it's November and I have to leave the house I'm begrudgingly wearing pants

the 13 year old went out trick or treating with her friends. when she came home she paid the daddy tax

made pizza dough last night and letting them sit for a nice long cold ferment before baking these tomorrow. I'm pretty impressed with how these are turning out

also I should call her

it was a beautiful fall day to sit beside a creek and watch the trout frolic
October 18, 2025 at 9:25 PM
yes but does it have Vitamin R?

why do I fish? I firmly believe fish aren't real at this point
October 11, 2025 at 9:57 PM
were all the fish raptured? asking for someone who hasn't caught a damn thing this week
September 25, 2025 at 5:53 PM
it's one of those fishing nights where we're falling in the lake or getting sprayed by that skunk. either way I'm coming back with a good story

out salmon fishing today. I've reached the "old man who needs reading glasses when he ties a hook" phase of my life
September 22, 2025 at 8:38 PM
came to Lake Oneida, NY and doing a little night walleye fishing. my catch count so far is my thumb one, walleye zero
