Not to brag*, but I slapped together the dough last night when I was tired. Put the bread in the fridge, baked it after work today while I was making dinner.
Looks ok!

My wife made our housemate’s 14 year old an ice cream cake for his birthday ❤️ #baking
The same cake, now sliced into 8 pieces with one removed. The removed piece reveals layers: marbeled pastel cake, pink and blue ice cream, then more cake.
A pastel pink cake with rainbow sprinkles at the base and on top, piped swirls around the rim, a Happy Birthday topper, and 14 lit candles in rainbow colors

The kids are bringing our truck back this morning. The thing is that they can't leave empty handed.
Just because.
So classic pumpkin pie it is.
A favorite at their house and probably the only type of pie they all like.
They all get hugs too.

An interesting piece on how London restaurants are changing, from #Ottolenghi.
Cost is one aspect.
"utility costs are up more than 50% since 2019; chocolate prices have doubled; olive oil is up 121%; even spring onions are up 55% – spring onions! Meanwhile, customers are feeling the squeeze just as hard: 52% of UK consumers have cut non-essential spending, with 72% of those naming “eating out” as one of their cuts. "
Places are simplifying to cut costs, and he talks about the rise in rotisserie chicken shops.
Also, people's habits are changing.
"people’s working patterns, health obsessions, the falling out of love with alcohol and the falling in love with pastries and bread, but, predominantly, the affordability of it all."
The response from restaurants has varied from minimalisation to extreme exclusivity.
And many community-based, immigrant-led eating/feeding places hold the key....
.... and Helen Goh talks about the differences in ingredients between Australia, the UK and the US. It's important if you are a baker. She had her own nightmare moment with Sweet as the differences between ovens in the UK and US were not considered.

A week ago, I screwed up when folding a mash made from soughdough starter into a batch of dough, and forgot to save a portion aside. All my yeasties gone! So I started over with 50/50 rye and water. For days on end there was no action. I halved the batch several times, folding the discard into morning crepes.
Today it finally took off. Bread tomorrow!

I gave the neighbor's a few of the just baked warm cookies.
He commented on Summer and I running down the hill with bags of food every morning.
He asked how I know I'm not feeding Trumpers?
I said I don't care if they are hungry and need food.
I followed with that I suspect that they know that the person and dog filling the free pantry didn't vote for the administration that is gleefully starving the most vulnerable.

Someday I will stop baking like I have a crowd to feed.
Too many cookies.

Hi!
Let's have this #introduction.
I'm a biology student based in Northern Germany, interested in #ecology and #entomology, especially #beetles
Currently, I'm working on my bachelor's thesis about the biodiversity of rove beetles ( #Staphylinidae) in a Hamburg nature reserve.
My posts will be in English and German and you'll hopefully find a lot of #nature pictures here.
Besides #insects, I'm also interested in #photography, #books / #reading and #baking
I'm not new on Mastodon itself, but I missed #biology related content, so be the change, I guess.

Today's baking project was white cupcakes with chocolate frosting.
My husband's favorite.
He should have enough to get him through the next couple of days.
