Pear tree still got it

Lye bath

youtu.be/YKwAfXAWhM8?... Who's Singin' Over There opens with this earworm musical number, and returns to it several times throughout. Highly recommended

Post something random, or you'll have a March

32% bolted flour, 68% bread flour, 78% water. Very pleased, could have fit more water in there but not complaining :-)

Still working on my baguette

I am a long-time movie shusher, but yesterday I achieved a new high score: shushing, then loudly saying "please stop talking," and then standing up and scolding them while the credits rolled about how inappropriate it is to talk at the movie theater.

Good evening

I am once again on my couch drinking a cup of coffee with a sweet baby on my lap

Popcorn says good morning

The Internet Archive contains whole Looney Tunes episodes, so yes, Danielle Haim, I do have lunch plans today and for the foreseeable future.

Sourdough baguettes are going to require a little more practice

Currently enjoying

Who put the bomp in the bomp bah bomp bah bomp? Who put the ram in the rama lama ding dong? Who put the bop in the bop shoo bop shoo bop? Who put the dip in the dip da dip da dip? Who was that man? I'd like to shake his hand. He made my baby fall in mung with beans (yeah!!!)

My 2.5 year old nephew, Sam, keeps on leaving voice messages "good night, Mrs Rosenblatt," which is not close to my name or gender, apparently unprompted by his parents. Danielle Haim, what do you make of this?

Still baking loves of sourdough, fyi (50:50 bread flour, home ground whole wheat flour). No crumb yet because I'm taking it to a friend's house for dinner

Hi, hello there, I'm sorry, this is so embarrassing, but I have never called for a general strike before, and I don't know the appropriate venue. Is there a phone number to call? Or maybe an app to download where if enough people press the red button etc?

Béla Tarr visiting a store in Peru selling pirated DVDs and posing with the owner and bootlegs of his own work, one of the realest ones, RIP

Dear Bluesky, would you please help me find something? I had read an annecdote about a mute (?) man and his interpreter. The man conveys his displeasure about something to the interpreter, and the interpreter replies "do I have to be that rude?" The man responds "they'd deserve to know the truth."

I had a great time in Paris, Daniella Haim. Surely you've been? Dying to know your favourite spots.

I've seen some jaw-dropping knockers in my day, but this might take the cake

(Maybe I should expand EclairWatch to PastryWatch? Anyway.) Friends, enemies, lovers, and the rest: I urge you to visit Boris Lumé next time you're in Paris

EclairWatch 2026 (1) Le Fournil de Dany et Lio Chocolate. Not bad. I've made better and worse. I feel lucky that I was able to find one at all on Christmas day. (2) Boulangerie Artisan Speculos. Much better. Made fresh, crisp without being overcooked. Why is it so hard to find vanilla?

Those new to Bsky need to be made aware of one of the greatest skeets ever, deleted long before its time.

"Yes, father?"

Found footage romantic comedy

Popcorn, I am trying to grade these exams

My new "joke" in the classroom is to say gesundheit anytime an inanimate object makes any obviously non-human sound, like a chair squeaking against the floor or a water bottle clanging against the desk.

I found this display on a walk around Vancouver last week

Pop culture confession: For years, I assumed Wanda Vision was a Wanda Sykes vehicle.

Time for a beer

Frying tofu in lard, ama

New gourd dropped

One of my favourite times of year

Just realizing that I set the clock on the work microwave (a selfless act of herculean proportions) on the Friday *before* daylight savings 🤦‍♂️

Forgot to post cupboard ghosts on Halloween

Don't forget to go to bed an hour later than usual but wake up of your own volition at the usual time for the next week or so

Happy Halloween, everybody

Tonight's adventure: wasabi from my backyard

If you are looking for spooky stop-motion animation, may I recommend: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZbS...

A Roast Leg of lamb makes a fine dinner

I've been drinking coffee for a while now, only now occurring to be I can make both cups of coffee at the same time, and spend longer on the couch undisturbed

I love popcorn, but it makes me angry that we can't pop other grains just as easily

Can we get some dang ornamental gourds on the feed?

Someone's demanding a lot of lower back attention this morning
