Good garden year still going strong. Another batch of cherry tomatoes to slow-roast, and greens to go with Philly-esque pork loin sandwiches ❤️

Here's some motivation for you Derek 🤌

They used to be Patio Town and changed the name last year. The vibe back then did not exactly scream Bonerland so not sure on this rebrand.

Still getting used to GrapheneOS, but my favorite thing so far is using the Google Camera and Photos apps without giving them network permissions It's a comfortable middle-ground before spinning up Immich

Google photos has a message at the top - "Offline, Syncing paused". It's always there. So is a loading animation.

Yeah bitch, you ARE offline!

My breads didn't place but I've always got favorable judges at home

My entries in the Minnesota State fair baking competition - bagels, white sandwich bread, sesame-crusted hearty sandwich bread, pain de campagne, lemon rolls

Corn belongs on pizza* *unless it has red sauce then gross no

Neapolitan style pizza with a chive-garlic-lemon cream sauce, whole-milk mozz, farmers market corn + jalapeno + red onion, yard basil.

Cooked on a ooni koda, with a puffy crust. The sauce is neon green and looks dope.

Did an experimental pizza with this spinach, potato, and cheddar. It was solid! The vines regrow every couple weeks, and the plant shows no signs of slowing down. Love this stuff

Plate with two slices of a spinach, potato, and cheddar pizza. It's Detroit style, with crispy edges from the frico.

The pan before the pizza was baked. From bottom to top, it had a parbaked crust, mozz, julienned spinach, parboiled potato slices, cheddar cheese.

Chuffed with the color and crumb on this week's sandwich loaves!

Hearty sandwich bread loaf, being sliced on a cutting board. The crumb is mostly closed but with some nice pockets, and the crust is sesame-flecked and golden brown all the way around, giving a nice contrast

This is good weather for make-ahead sandwiches. Tomorrow you will thank you.

I'm pumped for the state fair baking competiton. I didn't win anything last year but got good notes back from the judges. My bagels are one of this year's entries. Need to dial back the yeast and use colder water with these hot temps, since they easily overproof otherwise. Getting there...

24 plain bagels cooling on two racks. They have a deep golden brown color and were slightly overproofeed so some have some darker spots from air bubbles

This vine spinach is out of control in the best way

I lost tabs on it in the garden for a week and it had spread through the neighbors fence and around nearby tomato plants.

First ride with the new cockpit setup on my bridgestone - velo orange tourist bars + brake levers, ESI grips It's sooo nice. Less cramped and more upright than before.

The previous cockpit was stock 1970s Raleigh Sprite parts, with brake levers that were a total deathtrap. Managed to use them 15 years without dying.
