A BFD cocktail sits on a black stone countertop near a metal shaker:

The BFD (book fair drink):

- 2.5 oz Ethereal gin
- .75 oz lemon juice
- .5 oz lime juice
- 1 oz Cocktail & Sons Mint & Lemon Verbena Syrup
- 1 oz aquafaba / egg white

Tonight — rainy, sometimes hail, windy as hell — calls for one of my comfort cocktails, the BFD.

- 2.5 oz Ethereal gin
- .75 oz lemon juice
- .5 oz lime juice
- 1 oz Cocktail & Sons Mint & Lemon Verbena Syrup
- 1 oz aquafaba or egg white

A tray of Brazilian Cheese Breads, baked as one-inch rounds, just baked and resting on parchment paper.

Baking Brazilian Cheese Bread always makes me happy. They use tapioca flour and are super springy, and one of my favorite things right out of the oven. They last about five minutes before my family has destroyed them :)

Four mini loaves of Molasses bread dough shaped into circles and ready to rise, resting on a dark flour-covered stone countertop. Two circular loaves of molasses bread, just baked on a sheet of parchment paper on a jelly roll pan.

Today feels like a good day to bake some molasses bread. Letting the stand mixer do most of the work!

Chocolate milk bread in a loaf, covered with flour, on a floured stone counter. Chocolate milk bread divided into four portions. Still covered with flour and sitting on a dark stone counter. Chocolate milk bread, now rolled into four spirals and rising in a bread pan.

Trying out the chocolate milk bread recipe from King Arthur Baking. Will it be tasty? We shall see! But it is very pretty dusted with flour and doing its final pre-bake rise.

A 10-pound Guittard chocolate bar sits on a counter, with banana for scale.

We have developed a not-quite-yearly tradition of “Stay Up and Read All Night” with our kids; part of the tradition is a guan 10-point chocolate bar to snack on while reading. Weird tradition but fun!

That looks delicious, and sounds wonderful, but also, what on earth is a Bay Area themed cocktail? Menlo-Rita? Paloma Alto? (Sorry, I’ll stop. I grew up in the bay and love cocktails, so would absolutely join for these!)

Rosemary focaccia, just baked and out of its skillet, sitting on a wooden cutting board ready to eat.

We did a Tahoe snow trip, and picked up some of the Tuscan Herb olive oil we love from a store in Truckee. So today was a rainy one, good for baking a rosemary focaccia. My son says he will eat as much as we bake, so here goes!

A Sidewinder cocktail, with a sprig of mint leaves and — more importantly — an adorable hooded cobra made out of orange peel looking out over the edge of the glass.

Okay, this little citrus cobra looking over the side of the Sidewinder at the Wunderbar is adorable.
