The internet couldn’t make its mind up. Cut an X. Cut a Y. Just a slit will do. Round the equator. Round the poles. Boil, steam, roast, microwave.

Seen yesterday, while gathering winter fuel (pine cones), a trio of Earth stars. First time I’ve seen them in the wild. There were oysters too, on downed pines, but not enough to bother gathering.

There’s a first for everything. Never before been served anchovies still in the tin. They were good, I admit.

Inspired by last week’s class from the @coloradograinchain I have been working my way to this moment. Of course I don’t have nearly enough loaf tins. 100% rye sourdough with toasted sunflower seeds and caraway soaker.
