This week's loaf - 100% Yecora Rojo, with nigella seeds, and a bit of gremolata olive oil.
Pretty loaf - really good oven spring, and overall a good shape.

Meet the newest member of the family! He's named Pikachu (he came with that name - not sure it's going to stick). He's about four years old, from Final Frontier Rescue.

I'm back home safe and sound from another wonderful FenCon Convention !
I loved getting to see everyone, though of course there's no way, in one weekend, to spend enough time with anyone, let alone everyone.

This week's loaf - 20% Danko Rye, 20% Einkorn, and 60% Rouge die Bordeaux, with nigella seeds. Decent crust, and really nice, chewy crumb, with a good amount of small and medium bubbles.

Still cleaning up from that storm a week and a half ago. Got the remains of the greenhouse dismantled yesterday, and today I repotted 20-25 of the pineapples 🍍 that needed it - they'd been blown over and knocked partially or completely out of their pots. Current census is 50 plants.

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

Not the vacation send-off we were hoping for. My weather station clocked the maximum gust at 56mph.

This week's loaf. I had some leftover walnuts from Sunday night's dinner, so I decided to go for something indulgent.
