Here's the overproofed purple pink dough in the Pullman before and after baking, for your amusement. It still came out tasty, if not even remotely photogenic.
Lesson 1: don't overproof. Lesson 2: if you do, TOUCH IT AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE and then bake it anyway.

Pile of food including dill/parsley butter, yogurt/ginger/coriander dip, chili tomato curd dip (from making a bruschetta milk punch), mini chili beetroots, and some pinenut/seeded malty sourdough.

Tried scoring my dough partway through a steam bake. I liked it! Nice and puffy result, no premature spreading.

This is one more lemon blueberry loaf that I left proofing in the fridge an extra 24 hours. It came out blown up like a balloon, so I opted not to score it and gave it 45 min in steam and a cooler 25 min in the oven. Really worked out well - it's light as air and very soft.

Gig today, backing music for a pal's farm-to-fork pop-up across the river. Did I have time to practice? Barely. Do my shoulders feel like death from the gym? Yes. But it's with my husband and I love him and we play so well together.

On a lighter note, I made sourdough starter backups! I spread some active, fizzy starter on wax paper on baking trays until it dried into chips, then decanted it into a plastic bag and stashed it in the freezer. Next time I do something dumb or fruit flies kill my starter, I'll use these to rebuild.

I need to make a trip to the pet store because fluffy house panther (Jem) has bullied sleekit European parkour weasel (Scout) out of her favourite cushion forever. Rude. I love them so much.

Did some audition/rehearsal with a pal and ate vegan. Not a bad Wednesday if you can get it.

The woods are comforting, quiet, and they have tasty mushrooms. Hedgehog mushrooms are good, meaty mouthfuls this time of year and are courteous enough to grow in big groups. Very nice simply sautéed with an umami-forward sauce.

Evening rehearsal of anticapitalist protest songs, so needed a late and comforting freezer meal. Went with dumplings made from foraged polypore, bok choy, mushroom broth, chili oil. Can recommend as both comforting and at least somewhat anticapital.
