Got fancy with the sour dough, today.

Today’s bake was really lovely. Thank goodness I have a list of people waiting for bread so I cannot be tempted. Carbs and upcoming trips to Maui do not mix.

Baked sour dough and made two chicken pot pies for the HRE’s (Highly Respected Elders otherwise known as my parents and the in laws). When it’s hot outside- pretend it’s a crisp fall day is the way my brain works.

I have one of these. Fresh whipped cream on demand. Plus, it’s fun to use the nitrogen cartridges.

Le Creuset might not be worth the price tag when it comes to roasting a chicken or pork loin. But, it makes up for all kinds of sins when it comes to baking sourdough. *Bonus baking tip- steal your mother’s dish to bake two loaves at a time.

The sour dough bake is done. Tried a whole wheat loaf with mixed results. We shall see how it tastes. One white. One wheat. Yes, I remembered to purchase strawberry jam.

The orchids know… If you bloom, you get to come inside for the summer and live in air conditioning.

If this isn’t the loveliest June 2nd on record, then I don’t even know what.

My second attempt in larger Creuset came out too brown on top even with less time. But, gorgeous. They are now gone. I had 6 U of A swimmers boys for a visit so the loaves are no more along with a stick of butter and jar of strawberry jam. They are huge and fit and eat a lot!

Inside was magic. Lots of little bubbles but no big voids. Consistent. And the crust! Oh my. Nice crisp but not thick and nor chewy. Perfection. I suspected it would be good from the blistering on the sides- but as it’s my first- one never knows. This is fun. I see how people get obsessed.

My very first loaf of sourdough. I think I need to use a bigger Le Creuset so I can reach internal 206° without browning top and sides so much??? Also, I need proper scoring implement. All tips welcome.

It’s that time of year when I want to scratch the eyeballs out of my face. Mesquite pollen hates me. I cleaned this patio 5 hours ago. The bees are ecstatic. I am not.

WTF, @tucson.com A lot of people can articulate the argument that college isn’t always a great idea. Yet, you chose Adam Guillette? He’s a disgusting person that endangered the lives of college students. Also, he went to college. 🙄 Seriously. Do not give thugs a job platform. You know better!

Nothing says “Spring Dinner Party” quite like hauling out the Mackenzie Childs pottery to set the table. Grilled salmon, green chile & cheese grits, salad, fresh sour dough bread and chocolate soufflés and home made ice cream with fresh berries for dessert.

My mother’s rose garden is off the hook, y’all. Lucky for me. I’m hosting a dinner party and I do not have to purchase flowers for the table- just drive one mile to her house with a few buckets and pruning shears. ❤️

We haven’t had enough rain for a desert super bloom, but I’m still enjoying the effort. There is something extra special about cactus blooms. Maybe because they aren’t guaranteed and they don’t last long. We desert denizens have learned to celebrate them while they last.

Are RFK, Jr. and his security guys purposefully matching their outfits? This looks too coordinated to be accidental.

The javelina squadron is back. Lovely to see the baby “reds” but a little sad I have to go back to buying the much more expensive quail seed with hot chile. Enjoy your javies but don’t feed them unless you want to garden under the watchful eye of a mountain lion.

Hoping my ESPN bracket goes to pot with the outcome of the U of A/Duke game. I’ve never been ranked this high at this point, before. But, I’d give up bragging rights in a heartbeat if U of A trounces Duke. Let’s go Wildcats!

Do you have blonde children or grandchildren? Please. Don’t just use sunscreen- cover those babies up with clothing. Wear rashguards in the pool. Don’t forget the tops of their ears! Trust me on that one. 😳 My arm looks like he used an ice cream scoop instead of a scalpel. 😂

I’m doing pretty well…apparently, one does better if one researches a bit versus choosing by mascot or team colors as I have done in the past. 😂

Am I currently enjoying watching U of A play? Yes. Also, loving that I am winning our family bracket. Apparently, doing a little research is better than picking who wins based on which colors or mascots I like best. Who knew?

It would be an environmental game changer if they figure out how to use this on wild lands to eradicate invasive species. Use a drone? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Bye bye, buffelgrass. It would save Arizona. #CarbonRobotics

Pretending we are dining at my favorite restaurant, The Shed, in Santa Fe, NM. Enchiladas and lemon soufflé for dessert. Made with my home grown Meyer lemons. Yum!

I try to make 2-4 meals a week for my husband to take over to his parents on his weekly visit. Lots of casseroles and soups and pot pies as it’s easy to transport & heat up. But, we needed variety! So, I grilled filet, roasted artichokes and garlic and baked potatoes. Hope it reheats okay. 🤷🏼‍♀️

So…a body of water can be renamed and they mandate our compliance, but God forbid a *person* changes their preferred pronouns. I hate this timeline. It’s equal parts hatred and stupidity smothered in a suffocating layer of hypocrisy.

Not my best work but I needed to finish up quick to get out in the garden to spread dirt. A friend is hosting a party with a Breakfast at Tiffany’s theme and I made cookies to bag up as party favors.

The weekly watering of the orchids. I fear my next crop of blooms are destined for failure as they were nipped by those cold nights a couple of weeks ago. Oh well. I only own so many frost cloths and choices had to be made.
