Pro tip: A dramatically-lit photo transforms dessert with breakfast into high brow art.
Bonus tip: There is a direct correlation between depth of field and calories - the shallower the DOF, the fewer calories.

I’m moving away from white flour toward whole grains. This is my first 2:2:1 whole wheat/rye/white loaf and I’m loving it. The trick is to stick to one loaf per week.

What’s logical thing to do when it’s 90F out? Well, fire up the oven, of course!
First attempt at a 60/40 white/rye loaf. I’m think a bit less time in the oven for the next one.

I didn’t go to the Cape this weekend because I need to work. How I say, “I’m procrastinating” without saying, “I’m procrastinating” in two photos. Not seen: Prepping for kombucha making and maybe coffee roasting. Nothing like a little self-induced angst.

Last weekend, I roasted Full City and City+ and have started testing my first blend. Not half bad. I just have to dial back the number of tests in a day or they’ll be peeling me off the ceiling.

Working on my home roast technique and understanding the aging process. 7 days off roast and not awful. Decent, actually. I think it’s getting to its sweet spot.

With the bread baked, I’m now onto my next substance of choice and trying to dial in my roaster. Tasting notes in a few days.

Today’s loaf of #sourdough. Getting back into it after a couple weeks off. Time to start working in some rye or spelt. I’m ready.
