Waiting for these to proof will possibly be the longest two hours of my life. 🤣 My wife and I tag-teamed croissants from scratch with homemade butter.

Food pics! We had delicious black bean & corn tacos on Thursday and then shepherds pie and a blueberry ricotta crumble cake yesterday (Friday). My wife made the pie yesterday and I made the cake. The cake was made with frozen Maine blueberries and homemade ricotta. It's been a very yummy weekend! 😋

1.461 days. Four years without alcohol. Despite the horrors, I'm getting through this life sober. No one can take that from me. ❤️

Good morning. Pride Month ends today, but the fight - and the joy - don’t.
This month brought immense cruelty - but also love, resilience, and defiance.
We’re still here. We keep showing up, lifting each other, protecting each other.
Every month. Every day. Pride is year round. 🌈🖤🤎💚

Mark and Melissa lie peacefully at the center of our state and our hearts today. Their memorial, guarded by service dogs and men and women in uniform, casts a momentary shadow over L'Étoile du Nord as we honor their life’s work to make Minnesota shine brighter for all.

A successful bread bake! I had a slice with homemade ricotta that my wife made this afternoon and a drizzle of local honey. 🍞 🍯

I posted a pic of this baby blanket that I'm working on almost a month ago, and there has definitely been progress made!! I'm knitting today while bread dough is rising. Anything to avoid doomscrolling (and going outside, because Minnesota is obscenely hot today).

I am well aware that it is 91 degrees (100 with heat index) in my town in Minnesota, but today requires comfort food. I'm baking a loaf of plain white bread. Here it is at the start of first rising.

Knitting people! I am considering knitting a sweater for the first time.* Do you have any suggestions for an easy, but not boring, pattern? This will be for an adult woman who loves cables (me!).

The Hortman family helped raise and train dogs to partner with veterans. One of the many reasons we will miss Melissa and Mark.

Tonight, we made butter using a lot of cream from a local dairy. This weekend we are using it for a very special baking project.

One of my favorite things to do on the weekends is cook lemon ricotta pancakes. These don't look perfect, but they sure are yummy! 🥞

This isn't something I cooked, but my wife did. She baked the buns from scratch and worked some kind of magic to make an amazing sauce to go on the fried chicken. The only ingredient I know for sure in the sauce is gochujang. 😋

I worked from home for a few hours yesterday. My coworker Sylvie kept distracting me with her snores. 🤣😴

If I could be any ice cream topping I would be caramel because I too have gotten progressively saltier since the 90s

Yesterday, just for fun, I baked a single-layer vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream from scratch. It was easy and delicious! Next time I might double the cake recipe and put a layer of strawberry jam between the cakes.

This will eventually be a blanket for my nephew. I started it almost a year ago, but have not been knitting as much as I would like. I'll post progress pics here occasionally to keep me accountable. 😊

Last weekend I made strawberry jam for the first time in years. It's already gone, so there's a good chance I'll make more this weekend, especially if I can find berries at the farmer's market.
Tip: I used lime juice instead of lemon, and it's a game changer! So tasty.

This was one of RFK Jr.’s first orders after being sworn in.
Just an astonishing denial of science and will cause so much pain to the 45 million Americans facing mental health challenges.
