And thus endeth summer with the last harvest of basil, soon to become small cubes of frozen pesto to sustain me until spring.

I've been working on my "non-fussy" bread, as in it is 11 a.m. and I want some bread. :) This is a yeasted sourdough, 10 percent rye, 40 percent wheat, rest white flour. 1 cup of discard, 2 t of yeast, 2 cups water, 1T salt. 90 minute first rise, 45 minute free form second rise. No stress yums.

Was out on a long-ish for me bike ride in the glorious sun today and started to bonk; stopped for coffee and a pastry at Blue Ridge Coffee House (yum) and got a quick selfie with this bad bunny. Smiled all the way home.

ngl, this looks like pretty good advice (my mom just gave me her original better homes and garden cookbook from i dunno 65 years ago). If you find me laying on the floor of my office you now know why.

an image from a very old better homes and garden cookbook that says if you feel tired lay down on the floor and take a nap.

We're working on Issue 4 of Signal Magazine, but you can take a look at what I had to say about trust in Issue 3. news.microsoft.com/signalmagazi...

i often look at wordle bot to help me do better; this time it told me TWICE that there was only word that would fit, and that even though I had a "valid" word that met all the criteria it wasn't it.
