Some days you just need a chewy browned butter chocolate chip cookie topped with flaky salt. I don’t make the rules. I do prefer Ghirardelli extra dark chocolate chips. #sourdough #baking #cookies #BakeSky

This lemon, rye and herbs de Provence, topped with sesame, is going to a party!

Fell in love with the color way of this yarn and here we are. Warm poncho in progress. #crochet #hooking #yarn #CrochetSky

I mean it could be totally fabricated but it is also completely believable and that is the danger.

Venezuela Announces Capture of Alleged DEA Agent With Massive Drug Shipment According to the country's Interior Minister, the detainees confessed the shipment was part of a "false flag operation" designed to incriminate Venezuela in international drug trafficking

We gonna talk about this? I mean I know there is a whole shitstorm and the zone is well and truly flooded but wow.

Winter sourdough? In September? I’m an agent of chaos. Whole wheat, toasted pecans, tangy sweet cranberries, and a touch of sage. #sourdough #baking #bread #BakeSky

Sourdough Shokupan, or Japanese milk bread, was the agenda today. It is an enriched dough, light and tender, and toasts into something beautiful. #sourdough #baking #bread #BakeSky

It did 😋

I was immensely pleased with the way the book ended for him. I read it in a couple days which is unusual for me these days. I used to read books in an afternoon but now it’s more of an undertaking. Let me know when you find your next great book!

100 in the Mile High but what we don’t need is fucking ICE! No kidnappings! No human trafficking! No renditions! Gtfo

Olive and rosemary country loaf today. It’s 95 in the Mile High but baking happened. True story, I do not like olives at all. We shall see if wrapping them in sourdough changes that. #sourdough #bread #baking #BakeSky

A chocolate babka to celebrate my sweet little friends birthdays today. #sourdough #chocolate #bread #baking #BakeSky

On my list now. Thank you! My favorite is when people recommend me books.

I emotionally wrecked myself on this & let me tell you- I grew up on the prairie and I know about cows and ranch life but I was not prepared for the depth of this book. I am changed for the better #currentlyreading #bookSky

Brioche buns for the burgers and pulled pork today. May your Memorial Day be blessed! Mine is baking bread and reverence for those who gave. #sourdough #bread #baking #BakeSky

Whole wheat cranberry walnut loaves were the mission today. I accidentally put 80ml walnut oil instead of 24 but no one is complaining. #sourdough #bread #baking #bakeSky

I finished it and cried, partly from the story and partly because I want to keep spending my days with Anna and the kind, loving Jesus she evokes.

When I tell you all shall be well, I don’t mean that life won’t bring you tragedy. Life will be life. I only mean you will be well in spite of it. All shall be well, no matter what.

A tale of two ryes- if anyone is keeping up with my whole grain travails- I haven’t made a good rye since the last one I posted & I’ve been trying. One decided to grace us with its presence this week so its sorry brother on the bottom became croutons in our salmon Caesar salad. #sourdough #BakeSky

It is 85 degrees today in the Mile High but global warming isn’t real /s but what is real is I made a pear pecan and cardamom babka anyway. #sourdough #baking #BakeSky #ImadeThat #bread

Silicon Valley is awash in wooden Montessori toys and shrouded in total screen bans. Parents at work talk about how they don't allow their teens to have mobile phones, which only underscores how well these executives understand the real damage their product inflicts on young minds. #BookSky

Seen from above, a few dozen prisoners in red and orange garb use their bodies to form the letters S O S in a dirt yard of a detention center in Texas.

A detention center in Texas. This regime is full of the sickest motherfuckers to ever exist.

This is my Thursday afternoon. How’s yours? It is a flex, but also know that usually about this time on another day I’m armpit deep in laundry or dough or studying for a test I am not sure I can pass. I’m waiting on my honey to get his teeth clean, I supported my local businesses while I can. #tarot

“There’s always a thing you can deny an oppressor, if only your allegiance. Your belief. Your co-oping. Often even with vastly unequal power, you can find or force an opening to fight back. In your time many without power found ways to fight. Till that became a power.” -Marge Piercy
