I’m feeling surprisingly mixed feelings about the news I can go back to work soon. So, to distract myself, here’s a picture of the prettiest loaf of sourdough I’ve baked yet! . . . #bakeyouremotions #baking #sourdough #isolationdaysomething #mixedfeelings https://www.instagram.com/p/B_380r-AS_H/?igshid=11sovdtfzaha5

Tea, especially @tearunners tea, tastes better in a fancy china cup. . . . #dontsaveituseit #everydayisaspecialoccasion #isolationdaysomething #tearunners https://www.instagram.com/p/B_DWOHig-wX/?igshid=1vt8t1ng8frn1

Me at 11:45 pm: why am I so tired? It’s not like I had to work or anything today. Also me: woke up at 7:30am (wut? 😳); baked & packaged 2 batches of crackers, arranged for sale and pick up of 3 packages (crackers & old puzzles), baked 2 loaves of banana bread (1 sourdough, 1 chocolate chip); reorganized the tool storage bins in the garage; and emptied, cleaned, sorted, and reloaded 3 kitchen cupboards (started that one at about 9:30 pm). . . . #wheredidthissurgeofefficiencycomefrom? #idoubtitssustainable #takeadvantageofmotivationwheneverithappens #isolationdaysomething https://www.instagram.com/p/B-yn3p2A6tH/?igshid=1u3j8izchu0lr

My sourdough starter was finally healthy enough to try baking with it today. So here’s day one of breadmaking, from autolyse creation to over-night-fridge-proofing stage. I didn’t realize it was a marathon not a sprint. Better go hydrate myself now. Thanks for the excellent coaching @theboywhobakes! . . . #baking #sourdough #kitchenexperiments #isolationdaysomething https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Yp-JvgDdi/?igshid=8u6ys8okswhx
