Venezia. Still gorgeous.
Won an award this week. My team deserve all the praise.

UPDATE: I've had such a lack of feedback for any more tutorials that it's time to move on with something else. Thanks to the people who did email or use the comments.

UPDATE: OK, does anybody want another bread tutorial?

Once upon a time I ran a small bakery and made bread.

UPDATE: Here is my first attempt at putting a method live. I hope you like it: how to make a Mother-dough and what to do with it.

Making a Mother dough - The Assumption

Today I’m going to deal with the vexed question of making a Mother-dough. Hopefully I’ll be unvexing it.

The Assumption
Hello again #introduction I’ve come over from the other place because I really value my online community that’s got me through tough times. I like to talk/ post #food #nature #cats (yes 🙄) #books #art #photography #venice and the odd #political rant. I’m a campaigner for #foodjustice & have a slightly dark sense of humour. I’m from #liverpool & of #hungarian #scottish heritage.

The collapse of Twitter for (basically) self-inflicted reasons makes a strong case for building online infrastructure structured as a non-profit or public utility.

People rely on these platforms for public information, use them for democratic debate and many invest their livelihoods in them.

These platforms are too important to public safety, peoples’ livelihoods and democracy to leave in the hands of eccentric billionaires or the whims of stock markets.

Still working stuff out. But here’s some nature.

Here's a paean to some of my favourite catalogues of yore (#kingarthurbaking #williamssonoma), Captain Sensible on catalogues, and a recipe for mocha and chocolate date cake. The fact that King Arthur no longer ships their catalogue to the UK kills me.

Question for the more experienced #mastodon users, do you find the app doesn’t work so well on iPhone? If I sign in via website, the info & timelines move on. Not so much in the app.
@GasheadAu hello!! My mastodon app doesn’t seem to like iPhones. None of this info/ follows etc shows up! 🙄
