Offspring requested more inclusions in my sourdough, we have done Jalapeño-Cheddar and now Blueberry-Lemon. Open to additional ideas from the humans of #breadsky, #bread, #baking, and #sourdough

95 degrees and no air conditioning? Let’s bake the sourdough on the grill. Fall cannot come soon enough.

Kona Bear, our Labrador, has always been afraid of water, but decided, at the ripe old age of nine, she was done being afraid and went for a swim.
She might not want this vacation to end.

Cherry Plum Peppercorn Sour.

The tiny human insisted he HAD to have a bag of cherry plums, after a week of sitting in the fridge the cherry plums were turned into cherry plum, peppercorn liquor.

When your happy place kicks off the night with a circle pit that features dancing bananas and Jesus, you know it’s going to be an interesting night.

Also, the lawn is cooler than the pit. I said what I said.

I left the door open to cool off the house in the early morning hours. While I was resting, a field mouse came in to join my cozy nap.

I tried to catch it to put it out, but Goose was faster. Now she is annoyed that I made her take her prize outside and won’t let her back in with it.

What do else can you do with your sourdough when it’s stupid hot and you have no air conditioning? Sourdough pizza on the grill. (Note to others, King Arthur’s Sourdough Discard Pizza Dough is AWESOME on the grill!

When it’s too hot outside to bake with your sourdough starter, it’s time to make the donuts.

I have spent ALL day on the phone with two health insurance companies. Atena for denying coverage of my yearly epi-pens and United Health who won’t cover my son’s medication with the name brand, despite the national shortage of the generic version. We need to radically rethink for profit healthcare

My package has gone from Pennsylvania, to Alabama, to Tennessee, to Illinois, all on its way to Detroit, Michigan because the Trump donor, who was appointed by Trump’s people despite conflicts of interest, continues to run the U.S. Postal Service directly into the ground.

My friend once told me one of the secrets to her famous cookies was the Penzey’s double strength vanilla. I almost passed out at the price, but she’s right it makes all the difference. I hide it for special treats. I wonder what are other super secret baking ingredients?

The Hard Truth Sweet Smash Bourbon from my visit to Indiana makes excellent cocktails (Amaretto Sour tonight) and really good bourbon maple pie cookies…if only I didn’t have to go to Indiana to get it…

Friendly reminder that, for Republicans, settled law like the right to marry the person you love is not settled….

FFS Michigan why do we keep electing these bassakwards humans? Can’t we leave the stoneaged, backwards thinking, banjo picking, deliverance-esque thinking to Florida.

My local bagel shop changed hands and most of the staff left. The result was seriously subpar bagels, even after a few months to let them “find their groove” so now we are a sourdough bagels at home house. They are better than the shops, but I am still open to tips and tricks.

Turkey bondage, my delightful, visiting kitchen assistant, and fun with fire…

His instance on deep frying the turkey is why we have pre-thanksgiving cocktail.

Pre-Thanksgiving dinner cocktails while the sides cook and my husband works on his turkey bondage skills.

Rum Walnut Alexander, Aviation and a bestie that is here and is, as always, happy our turkey isn’t made of tofu and we don’t participate in dry holidays.

As this November has me feeling more pissed off than thankful, it’s going to be metal mayhem while I rage bake my way around Thanksgiving. Sourdough flatbread on the flattop, cheesecake in the oven.

Scapegrace gin, Domaine de Canton, lemon and homemade plum syrup

I have extra syrup if any of my local friends want to give it a run.

Tiny Human: This Pasta sucks.

Husband: He’s right. Next time you use box pasta instead of making it from scratch, get Barilla.

Me: Walks to pantry, gets the box of pasta. Points, makes annoyed mom face.

Tiny Human: Yeah, we’re spoiled. All boxed pasta sucks. 🍽️

Wake up this morning to read that Pete Hegseth was disqualified from serving in support of Joe Biden’s inauguration because of his alt-right tattoos. Opens cookbook to see what I am going to rage “bake” today. At least I am building up my Martha skills.
