Classic cinnamon rolls and also my first experiment with tangzhong. They’re so pillowy! #ayearofbread #breadsky #bakesky

I lost my beloved orange kitty to cancer five years ago. I waited one month and then adopted a little orange kitten who had a grievous wound healing in his side (just like your Adonis!). He’s been the best. Not a replacement, but fully himself. I wish you the same.

If winter’s got ya down, have you considered being a Goldendoodle in a sweater?

Cacio e pepe rolls for dinner, because if you’re gonna eat your feelings these days, you’re gonna need some black pepper and a lot of cheese.

This weekend’s bread adventure led directly to homemade garlic bread.

Yet another honey wheat sandwich bread to stave off the Monday despair. #breadsky #bakesky #ayearofbread

Midweek bread was a harvest grain boule with pecans and cranberries. It makes for excellent breakfast toast and is a pleasure for the whole family to enjoy. Full disclosure, I’ve eaten half of it myself and none of it for breakfast. #ayearofbread #bakesky #breadsky

The toddler let Alfie “borrow” his favorite stuffies. As you can clearly see, Alfie is thrilled to have company.

Fav souvenirs from a recent trip to Pittsburgh. I’m seriously considering turning this into a Fred Rogers Fan Account. What a stellar human.

A trio of loaves that we baked this weekend. #ayearofbread #breadsky #bakesky

I started February with a weekend of sandwich breads. The first—honey wheat with a weird shape but a perfect crumb. #ayearofbread #bakesky #breadsky

My goal in life is to master this level of relaxation.

Prettiest bake yet in #ayearofbread is olive rosemary fougasse. I’ll try again and get the leaf shape to stay pronounced after baking, but attempt number one was still *chef’s kiss*

Thriving my way through #ayearofbread with bake number two: French Bread. I tried twice and the second attempt had crispy, crackly crust and the nicest chewy center. I’m figuring out how to build better gluten! #bakesky #breadsky

Started #ayearofbread with focaccia, following the @kingarthurbaking.bsky.social recipe of the year. This was my first attempt. Round 2 rose even higher, but we ate it too fast for the camera to catch anything but a blur and crumbs.

A friend snapped this great pic before our banned book banner disappeared. Maybe some stole it, maybe it blew away. Doesn’t matter. I’ll keep saying this: Read banned books! Fascists can’t knock thoughts out of our heads just yet. Put ideas where you can keep them safe—READ.
