Made pizza with the fresh dough I made this morning.
Forgot I did not have any motzarella cheese - so cut up some white cheddar slices I had on hand.
It turned out “just fine”.

Made pizza dough with the kitchen aid for tonight. Looks good so far - made a nice ball on the dough hook without any fuss.

Made a pumpkin pie from scratch - from a pumpkin I baked/pureed and scratch made crust.
It looks edible except I wished the pie filling too much and it became frothy. Gave the top of the pie an odd texture. Nothing some whipped cream can’t fix :)

Have started working on a new puzzle in my condo’s community room. Should not be too difficult to do - lots of color and detail. Previous puzzle had black and white cartoon cows…. So this is a welcome change.

Went to the Queering Indigeneity exhibit at the Minnesota Museum of Modern Art.
Was cool that I would walk there from my condo via the skyway system without a winter coat.
Was interesting and well done
