Feeling kinda crappy this morning but Neville is here to make sure we get our morning naps in

Brown sugar peach cake, recipe courtesy of Yossey Arefi. It smells like summer! 🍽️

Doing okay so far. Dough is shaped and ready for its second rise

My son brought some sourdough starter home from school, so it's time to learn how to bake sourdough I guess. Never too old to learn!

This first ride will take hours. I am already impatient

Today's walk along the beach involved tide pools, so that's a win
Close up of a larger sea snail and two tiny snails in a little alcove. They are nestled under a red kelp overhang. There's a line of tiny sea anemones on the right, and rocks and more kelp in the foreground.

One of the rhythms I've fallen into since my diagnosis is baking the day before my treatment so I have a snack to bring with me. Plus cake is always tasty even when I don't feel like eating. Today's bake is a honey spice cake. #🍽️
Kitchen counter with a round cake cooling in its pan. The cake is dark brown with slivered almonds on top. Behind the cake the counter is cluttered with a teapot, a ceramic container with cooking implements, and various spice jars.
