I took it little easier on me for @desertbus.org as it’s been a *year.* This year I made some charcuterie boards for hope because everyone likes adult lunchables. #desertbus20 #craftalong #db2026

Serious question that I am sure fans would know: how does Jeopardy handle the other 6 weeks of the year? Reruns? Or is that up to the affiliate stations?

I make some food for my coworkers once a month, so I thought I would share here as well. This month it was Strawberry Shortcake Cookies. Nice recipe from King Arthur Baking!

It does seem weird at first, but zucchini has so much water in it that it breaks down during baking, and it takes what would otherwise be a dry bread and makes it moist. Honestly, it’s even better in chocolate cake for the same reason.

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.

New episode of Bread After Dark is up on YouTube! I made a video about Detroit-Style Pizza. This is a solo project, and I cook, film, edit, and even compose the music. I have 1 subscriber and would love to get even a small bit of attention on this. Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IdS...

Look, if #tcgpocket is going to make it basically free to get to Master Ball, it’s my sacred duty to get there with the silliest decks I can, even if that’s a 30% win rate. Love this Accelgor deck, but it’s not actually very good in competitive play.

There’s a local burger joint in my area makes something similar to this, except instead of a sauce, they put a garlic-onion jam on it. Also uses a brioche bun. Incredibly good, though something best consumed infrequently.

It’s honestly not bad. The patterns are labeled well, and the stitches aren’t that complicated. Tieing off the thread is the only part I struggled with at first, but there’s multiple methods there too. It’s fun and worth trying!

100 hours into my #dbcraftalong cross stitch. These projects often take me 200+ hours, so I think I might get done faster this year!

Norway. I feel like they have a much healthier youth sports culture there, and maybe if they win the cup, more people will start listening and being receptive to that way of doing things. We get so hyper competitive at a young age that I can’t justify putting my kids in youth sports.

Since @desertbus.org is starting Desert Bus Express in a few hours, let's do a craft check. Crafters, how are your #dbcraftalong crafts coming as we get ready for Desert Bus 2026? I am about 55 hours in to this year's cross stitch and making...solid progress so far, I think.

Day 29 of a month of bread baking was my first ever attempt at a dessert pizza. Cream cheese topping went well; brown sugar butter crumbles did not (they melted), and the cinnamon pizza dough was fine, if a bit chewy. An interesting first attempt! #breadsky #homebaker

Day 28 of a month of bread was a study in contrast. On the one hand, my cheddar-onion loaf was great. On the other hand, I tried to make it into a Patty Melt and burnt two burgers before making a bland one successfully. I’m a baker, not a chef. #breadsky #homebaker

Day 25 of a month of bread baking was a Bombay Chicken Flatbread. It's a very quick flatbread where the leavening comes from pop (or beer), topped with seasoned chicken, cilantro cream, and mozzarella. (Also, a fried egg, which I left off). It's always delicious! #breadsky #homebaker

Day 24 of a month of bread baking. I'm trying to save up energy in advance of some detailed bakes for the final week, so I baked the peanut butter bread that Dylan Hollis went viral for a few years ago. It was...fine. I would love to try the modern version of the recipe, though. #breadsky #homebaker

Day 23 of a month of bread baking was a pretzel experiment. A successful one, at that! I made the pretzels from frozen dough, and deliberately left salt off so I could try reheating them (and adding salt) in the toaster oven at work today. It went well! #breadsky #homebaker

Day 22 of a month of bread baking had the following logic: cornbread = great. Bread bowls = great. Therefore…why not try a cornbread bowl? It wasn’t fully structurally sound despite my best efforts, but the idea has some promise! #breadsky #homebaker

Day 18 of a month of bread baking was time for an experiment: strawberry cheesecake rolls. Imagine a cinnamon roll...except the middle is sweetened cream cheese and strawberry powder. It tasted great, but it was definitely overfull and messy. Will be a good recipe someday! #breadsky #homebaker
