Hard same.
In other news, one of the packages I received contained a KitchenAid stand mixer, so now I want all the recipes.
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

Timelies all!
Another fine day here. Nova was meowing in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. Mr. S woke up at 7 and has had a couple of meltdowns today.(One was because he wanted to stay with Daddy, who was going to go to the supermarket. Ended up going after lunch so he could take Mr. S out to run around a bit.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I made this bread yesterday, and it's pretty good. [link]
I don't think I let it rise quite long enough ("UNDER-PROOFED" bellows the Paul Hollywood in my head), so it came out a little small, but the pecans are good.

Play it safe and take care of yourself, shrift. Hooray stand mixer! Serious Eats has a “so you just got a stand mixer” collection that might be fun to check out

move out and draw fire
Getting tested is good, and not having it is better.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I hope you don't have covid, shrift, and remain furious that anyone should get any kind of sickness in these times!
If I had a mixer, I'd make bagels first thing.

Dana and -t, thanks for the suggestions! I have made pizza dough first thing, and it's rising now. I think bread is next, but maybe I'll attempt bagels after I put in a Penzeys order.
My temperature started to creep up again, so I'm feeling less ridiculous about my quarantine and test plan.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just watched a video of Sohla El-Waylly making pound cake, so now I want to make that, but instead I'm making cookies for a dessert exchange thing.
Every King Arthur recipe I've made has been good! But now I'm on the sourdough train, so have been focused on those.

Omg. My cousin—whose parents and sister all had COVID a month or two ago, though they ended up ok—just posted a photo of her son at a wrestling tournament. What the fuck??? Like, sure, let the kids play soccer or baseball, but wrestling?!? And none of them were wearing masks. So annoyed.
ETA: oh and my sister just informed me our other cousin (who is also cousin to the wrestler mom) is in the hospital. Her husband the pilot just had COVID and she is like 37 weeks pregnant with twins. Jesus.

What I now know is that he tased himself in the balls while trying to steal Thomas Paine's portrait.
Democracy may be a failed experiment, but at least we still have irony on our side.
I think the real irony is the protestor who died from being trampled in the melee had been photographed previously holding a “Don’t Tread On Me” flag.
I guess you have leveled up to the fancy ironing sheets, shrift! I did not know that was a thing.
Yes, it’s a thing. I’ve stayed at my friend’s house and she irons her sheets (or her housekeeper does). It feels lovely, but not enough for me to care. I have another friend who loves ironing so much that his favorite present this year was the new ironing board cover his husband bought him. He also owns a professional quality iron that allows him to iron the sheets on the bed. And before you ask, I have inquired and he is not taking in ironing.
