Baking bread to distract myself from the sorry state of the world

[sabotabby]

Don't mind me. I know there are more important things to blog about, but smarter people than I can do that. I am marking and phoning kids and baking bread. I've gotten quite good at bread.

You can't just sit around all day eating bread for many reasons, chief among them being that flour is not available in unlimited quantities and also I can only bake two loaves at a time. This said, all I want to be doing right now is eating bread.

Also, if you're wondering how my kitchen smells, the answer is that it smells amazing.

Sustaining ourselves, body and soul, is veery important. Your bread is beautiful.

I'm really proud of it. And myself, because really my instinct is to lie down on the floor, and the fact that I have totally learned a new, useful skill is pretty good.

I don't blog or fb post about the important stuff because I don't think I have anything important to contribute to the conversation. I just posted a picture of my cat's feet ffs. I started to post a thing about Minneapolis here earlier but eh. It has gotten really hard to care much about my own opinions sometimes lately. I "ventilated some affect" as one might say in my field, earlier, by arguing about Alison Roman instead.

I've built a reputation blogging about semi-important stuff but also I just feel trapped in my house and helpless and who wants to hear what a Nice White Lady has to say about it anyway. But you know. I can't shut up. So I mark, and make phone calls, and bake bread, and rant about current events.

I don't know; if your cat is a polydactyl, I'd say that's pretty important information.

You have no idea of the toe fluffs on his cat. It was an extremely important post.

[mistersmearcase]

Thank you for endorsing the fluff. It means a lot to Oscar.

That looks amazing!

It's so good I want to scarf it all but I also want bread for tomorrow so I only ate a reasonable amount.

Mmm bread.

[sabotabby]

Bread is so delicious.

This evening, I got some yeast dough at the food co-op; I have to make a pizza or a foccaccia from it on the weekend.

[sabotabby]

Yay! We can't get yeast here and I'm too much of a coward to make my own, but it's okay because sourdough is my favourite thing.

Your bread looks great, and I bet it smells amazing! The Awesome GF is a very good bread baker, and I enjoy being in a house where bread has recently been created. Lately, she's been experimenting with flatbreads (pizza and naan have been had recently), which I'm also happy to encourage. Mmmm, bread...

[sabotabby]

Yes, lucky you!

Pizza is fun. I may give naan a shot, since traditional naan is not something i can eat, but there are ways to veganize it. And I love naan.
