Finally put up the Christmas tree today. And also baked some bread.
A decorated Christmas tree with a red velvet skirt in the corner of an apartment. It has a white and silver tinsel garland alternating with an icey-looking crystal garland. The majority of the ornaments are red and gold ball ornaments. There is a glowing star with red beads at the top of it. A top-down view of a very round boule of homemade sourdough bread. It is dark golden-brown in color with a lot of bubbles on the crust. A cross-section view of a loaf of sourdough bread. It has a nice, relatively open crumb with some larger holes on the sides. Two Christmas stockings hanging from stocking hangers that have been placed on a TV stand. They are both red with white lining at the top. One of them has a 'K' on it, while the other is a pet-sized stocking with a paw print on it. A garland of red and white gnomes also dangles from the stocking hangers, falling over the stockings.

I knew when I made this meme that this would happen...
A screenshot from 2025 Spotify Wrapped that displays my top song of the year was "Lumière" from the Clair Obscur Expedition 33 soundtrack. I streamed it 195 times this year.

Important bread update for you all.

I will need to make these all the time now.

First snow of da season.
A view through the apartment balcony, looking out across the apartment complex as it is covered in a shallow covering of snow. A large sycamore tree, its fall leaves still intact, stands to the right border of the picture, just in front of an unfrozen pond. Three other trees are in the middle, their bare branches completely covered in snow, just like the garage structure and car behind them.

Happy Halloween & Blessed Samhain 🎃🥰
An oil painting of an autumnal forest at night, next to a water source. The center of the painting features a bright bonfire, the silhouette of a witch sitting against a tree next to it. It is based on "Campfire" by Bob Ross.

I JUST HEARD IT'S NATIONAL CAT DAY!?

NIMUE IS HERE TO CELEBRATE!
A seal-point Siamese cat sitting on top of a desk in front of an ultra-wide monitor, with a laptop and stack of notebooks to the left and a reusable water bottle to the right. A seal-point Siamese cat curled up on her side on a brown blanket, her little feetsies all tucked together against her tummy. She almost looks like she's smiling. A seal-point Siamese cat curled up in a tight ball, her head tucked in, a sunbeam glancing off the top of her, giving her a fuzzy glow. A seal point Siamese cat loafing on a couch, taken with a night vision camera. Her eyes look like white glowing orbs against her dark face.

I have been informed it's World Bread Day. I made this bread this morning. Happy bread, my friends.

An older middle-aged man with cropped white hair and big mustache yelling as he raises a pointed finger. The image is from a popular meme of the man arguing with another man, both from the show, "American Chopper."

I'm sorry for Another Post about bread, but this is my best crumb yet.

Now look at what my little actual goblin of a cat did while I was out grocery shopping today.

(It was found on the ground when I got back).
Half a loaf of fresh, sandwich bread inside a Ziploc bag. The plastic bag has a hole bitten into it and a fist-size chunk of bread is missing, implying it was eaten by the cat.

Look at this amazing, delicious sandwich bread I made yesterday.
A freshly-baked loaf of soft, white sourdough sandwich bread. It is perfectly golden brown and has a rather bulbous top. It is sitting on a gold, overturned basket, repurposed for a cooling rack. The top of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich made with a freshly baked, soft white bread. It is sitting on a paper plate.

Went to painting class with my dad tonight.
An oil painting featuring a seascape. The sky is soft, warm yellow fading into a pinkish orange at the edges, framed by dark gray-violet clouds. The ocean is a dark green, a large wave crashing onto the shore on the left side of the painting.

This is my fourth loaf in the past ten days (I don't have a problem). I'm really struggling to develop a crust with my stupid oven, but improvements are happening!

A loaf of sourdough bread on a counter. It is very round with a nise rise, but is pretty pale in color, save for a few golden brown tips. A cross-section of a sourdough loaf. The crumb is a bit uneven with some larger holes.
