About

Welcome to my website. Although the host is new, the blog is not--the first post went up in January 2008. I write about a variety of topics here including, but hardly limited to, baking, books, movies, historical topics, and politics. This is a catchall for a range of topics, particularly those that are not part of my research portfolio.

It’s a Sunday mood.

I subscribe to the “monkey see, monkey do” school of baking. I roll my peanut butter cookies in sugar because of a conversation I had at a bakery with their cookie person. Last week I saw someone talk about peanut butter cookies with marshmallows baked into them and figured I’d give it a try. I used vegan marshmallows, though.

Recent reading roundup: I’ve been doing a lot of pairing one fiction book with one non-fiction, mostly because the non-fiction does double duty prepping for my US history course (I track ancient history and classics separately).

My latest sourdough bagel batch.

Continuing to bake my way through the Bravetart cookbook. I love all of the cakes. This one is a very easy devil’s food cake that I made with strong black tea (cupcake iteration) with the simplest chocolate frosting I have ever made.

The three-strand classic challah lost some of it’s definition—I didn’t build enough gluten, the kitchen was too hot, and I didn’t do the best braid—but the four-strand chocolate came out well, especially considering that I only had the loosest idea how to do a four-strand braid. Two strands are a vanilla dough with chocolate chips and two strands are a chocolate dough made with chocolate powder. Oh, and I made really tasty sourdough buttermilk biscuits for tonight’s dinner.
