🥖 Baguettes! 🥖
Slowly, my baguette shaping technique is getting better. It just takes practice.
Not my photography, though. No, that's not getting any better with time... 😐
Former Mechanic. Inarticulate. Parent to a good, caring person. I take boring pictures.
I like to bake bread and pizza, apparently.

🍕 #Pizza time! 🍕
Pizza and beer do not agree with my desire for a 6-pack.
Anyhow! We have mozzarella and spicy jack cheese all around. Onion on one half and the other half is onion, mushroom, green onion, and olives. More fresh green onion on top.
Crust is homemade sourdough from starter. 150g "00" King Arthur Pizza flour, 150g bread, and 25g whole wheat. There is some ground up rosemary in the dough, too.
It *was* a good pizza.
🥖 Jalapeno Cheddar Baguettes! 🥖
Well, an attempt was made... 😬
I tried pickled jalapenos, but their heat was *completely* removed in the process. I'll need to do more research as to why this happened. I may have to move to dried/re-hydrated jalapenos. Also, I moved back to towels, but not loving the result.
(And, sorry, but my cell phone's camera is busted. Google won't fix. Fuckers.)
Recipe in next post(s).

Had posted this with many other #Garden 🌱 pictures last night, but deleted as I was just not feeling it.
Front and back yard gardens are full of weeds that we've not time to deal with even though we planted some stuff. I have a fear that this year will be a very low yield of #Garden produce as we're just getting busy months at a time right now with no end in sight. There is a lot to be said about that, but I'm not qualified to really speak on the ills of Capitalism and Commodification of needs.
Here is the cut showing a soft, fluffy crumb with decent air pockets (good for sandwiches). ☁️
Also, of course, the resulting sandwich as a consequence of making bread. 🥪
It's not even 9am here, but I'm already having a "day" today. At least I knocked this loaf out of the park! 🍞
EDIT: Forgot alt-text! Picture of a sourdough boule of bread, freshly baked on a cooling rack. Large expansion relief cut shown with a big, darker ear to the loaf.

Here is the rolling. Not the best technique, no, but it's fine. It all tastes fine. 🙂

#Sushi for one tonight. 🍣
Well, vegetarian at least.
Rice is a cal-rose short grain sushi rice. I polished this rice for almost 10 minutes. I don't really know if this helped, though.
Used leftover marinaded & fried tempeh, red onion, and past-prime avocado. I'll try to upload videos of the roll and cutting, but I'm still learning Mastodon.

Thanks, Anabel, but no thanks. ☠️
I keep getting these spam emails. I've never used ChatGPT before, but I'll wager it has better grammar than whatever discount A.I. thingy was used to generate both this fake Gmail account and the text of the email.
Also, let's not gloss over how it can "generate" "50" to "100" patients out of, seemingly, thin air. A month. Like, a practice would implode in a year.
Also, nice job, paid-for Google service, in blocking spam. Banger of a job.
