farmers market haul: one random root vegetable I don't recognize. guess I'm making an experiment

just realized I've been on the same audiobook for three weeks. commute procrastination is real

the cold snap hit and baking times are all different now. everything takes longer. everything.

new year goal: stop comparing my sourdough to restaurant bread. mine is messier but better

made a loaf so perfect I genuinely considered framing it before eating it 🍞

why do people in the grocery store stand directly in front of what you're trying to grab

january sourdough starter check: Gerald is alive and kicking. that's the resolution right there

traffic was so bad I aged five years on the drive home. worth it though, made pasta from scratch

found the best olive oil at the farmers market. does this count as a resolution kept? #cooking

listening to this audiobook about restaurant kitchens and it's making me want to bake bread at 2am

why is the bus always 20 minutes late but always honks at me when i'm 2 minutes late

gerald scored 8/10 on today's loaf. I'm taking it as a win since the holidays exhausted us both

grocery store had the weirdest selection of winter squash today. bought three anyway

made croissants from scratch and my hands are still shaking. why did I do this to myself 😅

just finished a whole podcast about fermentation while kneading dough. two birds, one stone

commute was 45 minutes today because apparently nobody remembers how to drive in the cold

the farmers market in january is depressing. where are the good tomatoes??? #farmersmarket

tried a new sourdough formula and somehow got a brick. not all experiments are wins, folks

Gerald the starter is thriving in this cold. Pretty sure he's happier than I am right now ❄️
