Some days seem to realize the fantasy metaphor of the fabric of existence being torn apart at the seams while people squabble over base reward. Or worse, semantics. On days like this Libby recommends doing yoga with your frog. #cats

Two loaves from the same dough. The one on the right was about 5 hours in bulk fermentation, and an hour proofed, and then baked. The one on the left and subsequent pictures, closer to 6 hours of hulk (I only have one proofing basket), but then proofed overnight (roughly 14 hours). The overnight proof gained maybe a third of an inch in height because it didn’t flatten, gained a stronger sourdough flavor, and was a softer loaf. #baking #sourdough #bread #testing

Since I was just talking her up as the best detective-fiction writer going... #reading #nowreading #books #library📚

My project for this weekend is to make more tomato sauce. I can’t stop thinking about this #pizza (wheat crust, olives, shrooms, onions, with with sauce and cheese). But I also need to make bread. #baking

Portrait mode should pick up cat faces, even if Libby doesn’t agree with me. #cats #portraits

Sometimes reading nonfiction becomes a slog because it starts to feel like work. For that reason I put “Fierce Enigmas” on hold last night and picked up this one, which I’be been meaning to read for a while. #reading #books #fiction
