In case you didn’t know, when you take your Dutch oven out of a 450 degree F oven, it’s very hot and will burn your hand 😂 (I was only wearing one mitt and almost dropped the lid, so naturally I caught it with my bare hand) 🤦
Massive TDOV rally expected today from 4:00-6:00 at the National Mall between 3rd and 4th streets.
Go there, I know many who will be there. Be with community and show your support for transgender people.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️⚧️ #tdov
So the last couple of weeks have been an adventure. I’ve learned to drive a tractor, went on a trip to see my love, and have barely had time to do much of anything else (I know, a break, how horrible /joking). The urge to bake and read has been strong though. Gotta get my head in the game 💪
Two fruit inclusion sourdough loaves on a cooling rack. On the left: Strawberry. On the right: Peach.

I also made two fruity inclusion loaves this week. Strawberry and Peach~
Now I will say, these loaves are *not* perfect in the slightest. The strawberries were frozen and turned the inside of the strawberry into a cavernous mushy mess. The peach was delicious but as you can see they exploded 🤣

Some plain sourdough loaves I made this week. I think these are by far the best plain sourdough loaves I’ve made thus far!
On the topic of books, I once again have bitten off more than I can chew! I’m bouncing between several. Including reading the Hunger Games for the very first time…

When I say that there is a trans witch hunt going on right now in Texas? This is the type of shit I am talking about. If this law goes through I can be arrested and go to to jail FOR SIMPLY BEING TRANSGENDER!
Lemon sugar and blueberry loaf, sourdough loaf and cinnamon brown sugar focaccia. All delicious and all recent bakes. I haven’t baked as much as I would like to the last few days, but I’m getting the groove going again.

A golden brown strawberry sourdough loaf and a golden brown and blueberry spotted, blueberry lemon sourdough loaf on a cooling rack on the counter.
Top view of the blueberry lemon sourdough loaf, score marks are visible though the design is less easily identifiable. (It was a halfhearted attempt at a butterfly.) The loaf is round.
The blueberry lemon sourdough loaf (can you tell I was proud of this one?) from the front right side showing dark purple drips down the crust of the loaf from the blueberries as they baked.
Top view of the strawberry sourdough loaf showing the S score and partials of the side scores. It is more of an oblong shape.
Bread offerings of the day. Strawberry Sourdough and then Blueberry Lemon Sourdough. Let me tell you, both of these loaves are delicious.
Unrelated to bread, I need some good smut books in my life. I have been reading a lot about politics and history, which is important, but— and hear me out— smut.
If you enjoyed Fellow Travelers by Thomas Mallon or the show on Paramount+ with Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey and were ever interested to know more about McCarthyism, the Lavender Scare, and how it affected gay and lesbian individuals in the 1950s, I recommend:

A very light-tan loaf of sourdough bread with flour rings and two splits from oven spring on a cooling rack with a small Snapchat subtitle saying “Bread”
Top down view of fresh jalapeño-cheddar focaccia on a cooling rack
Side view of fresh cheddar focaccia on a cooling rack
Fresh, home-baked bagels of imperfect shapes ranging from a more traditional tan to a light golden brown on a black wire cooling rack
As a way of making a tame introduction, these are some of the things I’ve baked this past week. 🤤 All of these have been eaten already, but I promise I am making more and will share pics.
Quick things though:
- Minors DNI 🔞
- I love NSFW things, so this won’t stay tame. I am kinky and queer.
