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.

I had an up and down visit to Eau Claire, but genuinely admired the city’s dedication to public art. I was also fascinated by plaques that talked about how the city downtown came together from independent villages on banks of the rivers that were eventually linked by permanent bridges.

A well-baked Detroit-style pizza is a thing of beauty. This one with tomato sauce, olives, and unidentified peppers from the farmer’s market that I think might have been hatches.

A day full of sourdough goodness, but always room to improve. Another round of bagels…that I almost over-proofed. A first swing at babka…that were a little tight. A pizza…that was a touch heavy on the salt and could have developed the crust a bit more. Onwards and upwards, though.

Since we’ve been watching the show, my partner convinced me that I should start the books. I’m not finding the experience as objectionable as watching adaptations of books I like, at least, and the TV show is a very good adaptation. However, I’m also trying to decide how much I like the books—they’re solid and well-suited to TV, but I’m also not as taken with them as I have been with other recent sci-fi. What I’m trying to figure out is whether this is something about the writing or just that I know what happens. It might be both.

The best meals require 24+ hours of prep and can still be pulled together on a Friday evening.

Thinking about Local no 338, a Jewish bagel baker’s union in New York, while toying around with my bagel recipe this Labor Day.
