Senses too honed for the polite Midwestern smile and nod.

Me: *walking along* What a nice day. Lovely to see all the neighbors in the yard--oh.

Me: I see.

I could not wait.

I feel like a lion taking down a gazelle.

The bottom of the loaf, which you will note is Not burned, thanks to the sheet pan trick.

The loaf, cut in half. Crumb analysts may have opinions about this bread's failings, but I cannot hear them over the ribbons of cheese, thyme, and rosemary.

A nibbled-on hunk of sourdough bread with cheese ribbons on full display, held aloft before another chonky slice.

Me: I'm going to eat this when it is still very hot.

@ktsimpson.bsky.social : NO! You need to let it cool!

Me: *throwing chair* YES BUT FOR THIS ONE, THE RECIPE EVEN SAYS THEY'VE NEVER SUCCESSFULLY MANAGED TO WAIT.

KT: BUT IT WILL NOT BE DONE IF YOU DON'T WAIT.

Me: *flipping table* I HUNGER

The loaf, sitting in the bottom of the Dutch oven. It is large and round and beautifully crusted with toasty cheddar.

Now this looks pretty good so far.

However.

You did not see the debacle that was getting this thing in the Dutch Oven.

The bottom is gonna be a whole lot of burnt cheese, I have a strong feeling.

A Dutch oven full of bread with melted cheese, looking pretty good so far in a Very hot oven.

*whispers* it is not photogenic enough to display during its final prove.

My concerns grow.

Allison Mulder @amulderwrites.bsky.social · 21h

Idk folks.

I was half out of thyme (literally, not cosmically) so I'm improvising with rosemary, all of which sounds fine, but I have a feeling all the cheese is supposed to be on the Inside at THIS stage. :/

Hmmm.

A sloppy ball of sourdough, some shredded cheese clinging to the outside.

Yup.

An All-The-Music's-Good day.

The sky looks like this.

The air for some reason smells of bacon.

I'm getting home just in time to shape a cheddar thyme sourdough life, and my earbuds died a punctual two minutes after walking in my door.

This bit's still okay.

The same type of clouds as in the post up-thread, perhaps a bit less fish scale-ish, but this time backlit by golden rays of sunlight, a smattering of light treetop silhouetted at the bottom of the picture.

An Eventful walk!

I have witnessed a Second battle for the ages. Two kaiju*, equally matched, waging a war that shall decide the universe's fate...

*the two flounciest, floppiest, sproungy-est dogs you have ever seen in your life, clearly overjoyed to see each other.

No pic of giant skeleton today because the small occupants of the house were out there.

And the zombie hands were gone.

You know what this means.

Slayer training is going GREAT, the kids are alright, our future is in good hands, etc. etc.

Thank God. For a second I thought it was up to ME and

Allison Mulder @amulderwrites.bsky.social · 15d

A basketball player this time.

No one is safe.

The same giant half skeleton and zombie hands as the quoted posts, but this time with a solitary basketball tucked behind one of the skeletal arms, as if hiding the evidence.

Now the clouds make a valid point.

Blue sky framed by green leaves and a few power lines, white clouds a bit like fish scales spreading across the sky.

I just love when the light goes like

A bike path between two walls of trees, arching to make a tunnel. A break in the path ahead lights the green leaves in a golden ring, bright blue sky directly above.

What a great moment during walk for Florence to hit the lyric:

"Arms outstretched, back from the dead..."

Simple ghost decorations hanging from an evergreen tree, arms indeed outstretched.

A single ghost decoration, arms outstretched, its little face visible through the gauze.

Keep adding them even after Halloween, and soon enough you've got yourself a Christmas tree.
