The King's Roost

Walter got his first shot under the watchful gaze of St. Iglesius, Patron Saint of Immunizations and Muscle Shirts.

Anyone need flour today?

Today is baking day...berry cobbler for the kids, sourdough for us, chocolate cherry bread for the neighbor kids, and jalapeno cheddar bread for me!

I think this pink oyster mushroom kit is about ready to harvest. Tomorrow i "plant" four patches of giant puffball mushrooms around the neighborhood....stay tuned. They are apparently difficult so we'll see.

A nice strong vibrator made from food grade silicon can speed gluten development, especially when your dough is really wet. #110%hydration #dildough

Julia reminds me of Fluffy, the 3-headed dog from Harry Potter.

Welcome home, Julia. It's official, we have adopted Julia! She is so happy to be here all she does is sleep. Right next to us.

Pineapple decides when the belly rubs end.

Breakfast today...

Guess what! I got some organic rye berries today. Need to grow some mushrooms or bake some killer sourdough rye bread? #sourdough #mycology #mushroomgrowing #rye #ryebread #mushrooms

Whole wheat naan bread to go with my first attempt at instant pot butter chicken. No photo of the butter chicken available. It's already gone.

Experimenting with a new rye. This is 25% great basin rye from Fat Uncle Farms at 85% hydration. The rest is hard white wheat and as always, 100% freshly milled.
