Strawberry streusel cake - was delicious despite the slight over baked bottom. #baking

I know we have A LOT of serious stuff to deal with but like just real quick, one thing in southern CA: I think the pollen lever valve may have been left open — can someone get that? I was outside for two whole hours and my face is sand paper and my lungs are mud and I’d like to exchange all my skin.

I can’t believe it’s practically Sunday evening already. It’s not at all what I thought I would wake up to after laying down for a nap Sunday late afternoon. (It’s complete brain misfire nonsense how disoriented I am.)

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Made Raspberry Almond cupcakes and Cookie Dough Brownie Bars for a department gathering. Both very tasty. Only remembered to take one pic. #baking

It was all one nap. The renovation work, the upsetting Thanksgiving convo, — all still the same two hour nap. Inceptioned myself.

Had lunch, took a nap, woke up, and found everyone in the house was making great progress moving furniture and packing books for a renovation project, got upset with one of my children discussing thanksgiving plans, and took another nap with insane dreams of being in NYC only to wake up and find -

I wish whoever is running all these Dem's social media would be sensitive to the fact that we are all being actively traumatized multiple times a day. Tell us what you're doing to combat the coup or don't post anything at all and just work.

When I get to the thick hectic last weeks of March, too far from spring break to put things off but enough into the term that I’m overwhelmed, I will ask myself, why didn’t I prep this over winter break. Surely there was time. And the reason I didn’t will always be the same. Naps. Glorious naps.

I’ve been blocking bot followers like Fruit Ninja out here (some still def fooling me) but I just realized that the accounts that seem to just be posting news-y headlines (especially a day old) with no news links… a lot of those are bots too, yeah?

@bsky.app when you update a thread, shouldn’t the whole thread with the first and most recent posts highlighted go to the top of your profile feed? How else do you make a thread you want to update occasionally findable? Usable? Please advise. 🙂

@bsky.app why don’t new posts to long term threads show at top of the feed?

Kelly Douglass @profcannibal.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

Am I doing threads wrong over here or do they not post the way the did at the other place. Added a new entry to my baking thread but the latest post doesn’t show up first and the whole thread is still buried far down below all other posts. Can we not do occasionally updated long threads here?

Did some #baking for the teen girl’s game night yesterday. Dulce de leche cupcakes. The cake was *amazing* and the DDL frosting was good too but a bit too rich. Might go easier next time.

#LicensePlateGame for 2024: got them all by August this year and tried to go for a second round but couldn’t get a second from NH, RI, VT, or WV. The best part is starting over and the flurry of plates we will find this week being out and about.

Last #baking endeavor for 2024: a cinnamon crumble topped apple pie. Super delicious despite what it looks like. It was for NYE feast and I had to bake it in the convection oven to keep main free for pork chops. It signed the top. Feast was mango salsa and pork chops, herb biscuits, veg stew. 😋

For Xmas in 2024, I used the gingerbread cookies with American buttercream recipe in my new frosting book — AMAZING. The pie, a pecan apple with butter, didn’t go as well. I rushed it out of the oven. 🙁

More gingerbread cookie houses on the tray

For Thanksgiving, I went with the familiar blueberry lattice and another crumble top, but also made maple glazed carrots, broccoli pancetta, and green beans with almonds and onions. It was a good spread.

Having made every recipe except the cheesecake (no interest in the fam!) from my Maira Kalman book, I sought a new cake book. These recipes are incredible, but I am struggling with the flour in the British recipes that all call for self-rising four, which I am less familiar with. Tasted amazing tho.

Not much baking for most of 2023, but we had a gingerbread topped apple pie for xmas, and we did our NYE feast with the kids. Delicious food.

More apple pies in December 2022, an Apple Pear Crumb Pie for Xmas, plus the book all these Apple Pies come from, and a less-liked Cheddar Crusted Apple Pie for NYE.

In April, I tried frosting roses. It was fun, but I haven't gone back to it... I should! As work started to normalize after lockdown and then even pick up more... I think I had big gaps where I didn't bake for stretches.

Another berry torte and a chocolate raspberry cake (my #GBBO decorating imitation) for a kiddo birthday.

For New Year's Eve that year (2021) we started what has become a tradition: the kids' NYE feast. I make dessert and they make the dinner.

Pistachio cake and whipped cream, hand pies, sweet potatoes, and salad.

At Xmas, my mom and I tried the fake apple pie made of Ritz crackers and lemon that we'd heard rumored as a Great Depression substitute (not sure if that was true). Plus, gingerbread cake for Xmas day (slightly less successful).

Kelly Douglass @profcannibal.bsky.social · 02/01/2025

In December, I branched out to cookies -- which I am less successful at than pie and cake. Xmas cookies for the neighbors, and a honey cake for us.

SO MUCH baking in November 2021! A four-apple birthday pie, a coconut 50th birthday cake, and two pies for Thanksgiving: apple with graham cracker crumb top and apple blueberry with lattice top.

In May, I tried out a flourless chocolate cake. In June, another birthday cake (Salted Caramel Glaze) and in July, one of the great discoveries of that cake book, a pavlova with berries. I LOVE the payola! The crunchy outside and chewy/melty center are so unique and delicious.

The #baking continued in 2021; in February, I had a busy weekend with a birthday cake and vaccinated, socially distancing, outdoor friend gatherings.

It really is a bummer that the other place is such a wreck. I saved my archive before closing up, but like 16 years is a lot of thoughts and memories. I didn’t realize until I started combing through for bits I wanted to keep how much it really was a kind of strange fun micro-blogging. To new skies.

There's so much more #baking and I wanted to pull it all over here tonight because we also started a tradition of New Year's Eve feasts, with the kids doing the bulk of the food. We did it again tonight, and I wanted to share, but I couldn't lose the history that got us here (even if just for me)

On November 7, 2020 I made a two sponge layered cake that I named "Victory Cake." For Thanksgiving, I went back to a recipe book my mother-in-law gave me years before, 100 Apple Pies and made a Pecan topped apple pie.

The kids started getting in on the fun. For Halloween in 2020, I made treats for us and my daughter, then 12, made stuffed bell peppers. We had fun in the kitchen.

I got Maira Kalman's book Cake, and nothing was ever the same! I made lavish birthday cakes, a pavlova, more carrot cake, coffee cake, and berry shortcakes.

Then, COVID. Like so many, more baking. First I made wildly colorful protein muffins because we couldn't get eggs for coloring. I also made a carrot cake just because. It was April 2020.

Three posts: a carrot cake and two pics of wild easter colored muffins.
