Also fuck Mike Johnson for saying politicians can't survive off $175k salaries but they expect citizens to live off $40k or $7.25 an hour. Fuck all the way off

So many loaves this weekend!

I've discovered the goodwill auction site. I've also discover resellers are absolute turds.

Has anyone thought to flood AI with pictures of buttholes? ...this is the kind of stuff I think of over my morning coffee...

The millennial urge to listen to raffi and have a ciggy....

First loaves of may. Did a 24 hour bulk ferment. Loaves came out blonde even though they were baked just as long as I usually do.

The NFL draft is the epitome of "this could have been an email"

🎉🎉go me🎉🎉

One time I went running and I was really bummed because I spotted an owl pellet on the trail but I didn't have any pockets. So I ran the next day and made sure I had some pockets and it was gone. Sigh. I bet it was real cool...

Things I think about when running: This is terrible. Is that a blood clot? Oh that's a nice breeze... What am I gonna eat after this? Smile, you're moving! Don't smile too hard at people. This isn't so terrible. Hello wildlife. I am your friend. Hello dog. I am your friend.

The Phillies wanted so bad to be a serious team and now look. Bring back the WHIMSY.

The weekend loaves

Scrapple and chive frittata with rye sourdough. Crowd pleaser. Kids don't know how bad we had it...

Dinner

Since when can you not freeze scrapple?

National Pet Day with my 12 sets of elbows

Branching out: whole wheat and rye sourdough loaves!

Beautiful day for a PR

I think people who buy girl scout cookies should know that my daughter sold 215 boxes ($6&7 per box) and her "reward" was a $15 credit to the GS email shop or off her 3k camp balance 🙃🫠

Kid at school: My mom says you're weird. Me: yeah, I am. Tell your mom I also have thoughts about her...

Grinding my 25lb dog's toenails is the equivalent of 75lb squat presses, 10 minute squat holds, and throwing those giant rope things.

Spring Break 2026 Junk Journal page

It hasn't taken me 6+ years but I finally used up my credit at the used book store. This must be what big dick energy feels like.

Kid1: you're her favorite! Kid2: no, you're her favorite! Me: I do not have any favorites, I love you both!! Also me: 💋🐶

Instead of driving around for Christmas lights, we're driving around for people's cherry 🌸 blossoms.

March mini junk journal

They don't show the Phanatic or the Galapagos Gang on TV enough. It sure would soften the blow of whatever the hell this game is...

Redo loaves. Much happier!

Sometimes you try a recipe and sometimes the recipe tries you. Not the best loaves this week...

Last night I had my first scotch egg of the year.

Trying a new bread recipe today ... we'll see how this goes ...

@mfjeeb.bsky.social I just saw the news and need to check on you about the Suns being sold. Are you ok?

Dinner. Shrimp and gnocchi in a spinach and sundried tomato sauce with feta

14 locals realtors want to buy my house and not a damn one of them has mailed me a baseball schedule with their face on it. Rude.

Sure it's opening day, but then I got the email that I didn't get Banana Ball tickets 😞

Everything is shit but tomorrow is baseball season!!!

In second grade (I was 9), I read Anne Rule's Stranger Beside Me and then gave an impromptu book report to my class. Phone calls were made...

This week's loaves. The rise has been incredible. Is it the weather?!

Every once in a while, a kid has to interview me for a school assignment and I have to pretend I'm a professional for 8-10 questions...
