So I will happy remain #childfree.

If you’re curious about what the Poo Bandit looks like, he’s my profile pic.

The fact that he’s cute is the main thing keeping him alive at this point.

He’d just had diarrhea, and some of it was running down his leg. He was using my shirt as a wipe.

I immediately grabbed him and took him into the bathroom, and did my best to clean him up.

He wasn’t having it, but I also was not having it and I’m bigger, so I won that battle. 3/

He’s normally not my biggest fan (he prefers my partner), but anything is possible and I didn’t think much of it. I gave him some scritches assuming he wanted attention.

After a couple minutes, he stood up, turned around, and finally got off my chest. Which is when I realized my mistake.

Here’s how the breads turned out.

All 3 are sourdough, but I guess I let the two white loaves overproof, because when I went to score them they deflated like a fucking balloon.

Still tasty though.

Technically the recipe for the cinnamon sourdough is Cinnamon Raisins, but I do not like raisins so I just excluded them. The results were still perfectly delicious.

I’m pretty happy with how these turned out, honestly. They’re easy to make, don’t require a ton of time, and I had a bit of fun. @kingarthurbaking.bsky.social did a great job developing this recipe.

I’m also letting butter soften to room temp for yet another recipe. Having a new hyperfixation is a treat sometimes.

Took a shower and sliced into it. The crust is pretty tough, possibly because I let it stay in the oven a little too long. I also think I’m not letting my starter ripen enough. Still, tastes pretty food in my uneducated view!
