hello hello! it's been oh so long. i took a sabbatical! jk, work just got reallllly busy and it's funny how that works - as soon as that happened, i felt that i didn't have enough time to cook from scratch, exercise, sleep enough, read as much (as i want to), and all that kind … Continue reading going rogue
i made an excellent rice bowl for breakfast yesterday, and may do so again today. i already had cooked rice in the fridge, so i reheated that with a little soy sauce. i then sautéed some kale and fried an egg. i added toasted sesame seeds and kimchi to the bowl, and then topped everything … Continue reading end of september

the spelt-sesame no-knead bread went great! it fermented overnight monday. tuesday morning i popped it into the oven after a 1-hour rise. (i wrote a bit more about it in my blog post yesterday). it turned out better than expected. i hadn't worked with a dough like that before, and i was worried since it … Continue reading cooking on wednesday
