Tonight's freezer pull: farmer's market corn I had frozen back in October.

Worth shucking and freezing.

Two slices of avocado toast, topped with fried eggs upon salsa on a floral print dinner plate. There's a glass of apple cider in a glass next to the place setting.

Treating myself for breakfast on my last day off:

Avocado toast on homemade multigrain sandwich bread, topped with homemade canned poblano salsa and a crispy, fried egg. Aleppo pepper adds a subtle, smoky flavor throughout.

Enjoyed with my friend's apple cider.

"Omurice? What's that?"

I had no idea this morning but after a brief search as to what to do with leftover rice, I thought I would give it a try. It's a Japanese omelette with fried rice inside.

Delicious, savory way to start my day.

This bread was a happy, little accident.

Despite 150 g more water than the recipe required, I gave it a longer knead and it became an overachiever and super soft:

Light wheat sandwich bread from The Bread Baker's Apprentice.

Perfect for peanut butter and jelly.

They would be darker if I owned lye for the boil instead of baking soda.

We probably won't have our first 80 degree day on the shores of Lake Michigan until July. "Lake effect" is a common term-cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Plus bonus snow if the wind is off the lake. Buffalo is notorious for heavy lake effect snow since they are to the east of a lake.
