Tonights Brit Bake Off; I made a Couronne Bordelaise. It has two flavored doughs; lemon and rosemary, second one; roasted red pepper and tomato. The filling was a veggie beef and carmelized onion marinara, mozzarella and Parmesan. Nice bake and a spicy tomato chutney really made it this evening!

I saved a little of the same sourdough and pulled this Margherita pizza together. Not half bad and hubby ate several pieces too! 😊

It’s a small boulle loaf but, it’s my first actual sourdough without adding any commercial yeast to help me out. Tastes good and has a great crunch! I’m inspired to try more!

In my British Baking Show mode; so this morning I made a chocolate Victoria Sponge with mock chocolate ganache icing. You can’t beat a better breakfast on a Sunday.

I think I found decent lighting at my gym finally.

Finished a new plumeria painting on gold leaf. Approx 16” x 16”.

Promoting the Rapture seems like a bad strategy to help with making more money for “the building fund”. 💵🤑🤑🤑

Anyone who does sourdough will get why after weeks of a meh starter I’m happy this afternoon! May have to make something soon! The jar behind is my discard jar.

Sister in law is visiting and we are wrecking our diets haha. Getting it in this am before brunch with friends and wrecking it further.

Hubby loves my hair long (I’m working on that Lestat balance of length and slight curl..it ain’t easy ya’ll), but tells me he doesn’t like it when I put it up in that utilitarian man bun. (But he gets it…).

With all that’s going on in the world…and apparently we have no idea what had been unleashed…🙄. As I have my breakfast at a great little diner..can we all just remember…

Came home early from a great speakeasy; was peckish and decided to make bruschetta.

If i have to see another beef tallow men’s face cream ad on my apps…when there’s clearly plastic surgery and filters going on here…😖😖😫

I so love it when the gym only has a few people in it. And the weights are racked relatively back to where they are supposed to go. It’s so humid today; the hair is in man bun mode!

It just doesn’t get much better on a throw together Tuesday! Proofed dough while Michael and I ran errands. Make a sauce, Ouila’! Homemade pizza; veggie sausage, my own creation of a chunky sauce; mozzarella balls, and finish off with an orange whiskey sour. Too damn good!

Friends over this weekend and it was pool party, cards, whiskey sours (omg such a classic!!) and homemade sourdough pizza!!

I know I’m running REALLLLLLY late on my SVU series catch-up; but season 23 and Barba (Raul’ Esparza is so beyond sexy) telling Liv (Mariska is so beyond sexy; this coming from a gold star gay) that he loves her unconditionally made me 🫠

Tonight’s meal; broiled coho salmon over garlic smashed potatoes, corn succotash and a teriyaki sauce.

Constituent: You need to take your head out of Trump’s ass.

Bake for a friends Frose’ themed party tomorrow. These are a recipe sent by my son and it is AMAZING! Vanilla box cake mix 3 tablespoons of Jello mix (I used strawberry for the color) Two eggs 1 stick of butter 1 tsp salt Bake for 10 minutes at 350. I added white chips and a buttercream icing. ❤️

Found a great speakeasy last night with Michael on our weekly “try a new place” date night. “Swizzle”. Nice vibe and well designed. Great drinks. It needs a few more food options for non meat eaters; but on the whole would totally come back.

I am impressed! 🤩

I love having dough ready in the fridge. Michael asked if I could make breakfast; and I whipped up a breakfast pizza! I’ll be ready for the gym now!!

Made a decent dough before going to the gym. Came home and made a caprese style pizza with mushrooms and a Cabernet wine tomato sauce. One needs nosh before going out!

Bravo, Josh. If I lived in Iowa, you'd have my vote.

Hubby doesn’t usually like cocktails other than an occasional salty dog. He sent me this recipe thst has grapefruit liquer; sooo good!

An entire bowl of edamame for supper after a 2 mile walk with hubby. I have a friend afraid the soy concentrations are going to affect me…

Wukong is both enjoyable, challenging, and so badly lost on translation. So many quests you can’t go back to and miss out on.

Had some electrical work done which created a dust storm in the china pantry. (And yes they are essential…😜). Yesterday was a clean it out and wash everything. Michael and I had a ball! 🙄

Haven’t made stuffed peppers in ages; time to make them again. So good!

Monday gym days can be tough…😓

Another weekend with RESIST at Wilton Manors. Good crowd again; even with this heat!

Watching about Nero and the eerily similar parallels to today. And when I start to point them out; a shrill, uninformed, one note voice echos “but what about Biden?”…

It may be hot and summery here in Florida, but it doesn’t stop cinnamon rolls from still being a all year round food!! In fact the warmth was perfect for the dough proofing on the counter!

The product of today’s proofed dough. More for tomorrow (maybe flatbread to take to a pool party!). There was a second pie but it was devoured before I could make a pic. $40+ of pizza (and better by far!) all at home! Bam!

Dough for this weekend proofing, and gym in a little bit. In the meantime; slow going on a new painting. But you gotta keep at it.

Michael came home from his walk and “what’s for dinner?”. I have some dough proofing from a previous pizza; sooo; let’s throw together a quick impromptu version of a caprese pizza!

My ability to just make pasta and bread at seeming will so impede my summer body from appearing.

Made a sourdough starter this am and as a reward for a good gym day is a veggie pizza with a 2018 chateau Mezain Bordeaux. Happy Friday!

Just left seeing Superman; if I compare how I was as a child seeing the original and the cinema it gave compared to the swill that I just watched; I feel bad for the kids of today.

Tuesday’s workout.

Michael and I out with the boys for disco night! We ain’t too old yet!

Started listening to the new Superman soundtrack during my workout. It has some echoes of my childhood fav, even some STTNG “Generations” soundtrack; but halfway through I was playing the original. John Williams! Come on nothing compares!

These cherry martinis are the bomb! Oh man!

Out in Wilton Manors today protesting. Resist with a smile!

Creating a bio for Michael’s artist page, prepping a dinner party tomorrow, watching Alien (it’s still one of the best Sci Fi ever created), and to help all of this a magnificent cherry gin cocktail! Gin, cherry and lemon juice, bitters. Omg! Perfection to just chill with. 🍒

All I discover in FB is people I grew up with in my small town are now MAGA and I’m just sad. What part of our shared growing up experiences made you into such a person?

#raidshadowlegends this is why I’m F2P. Imagine if I had spent the hard earned money for this trash!?

Tonight’s dinner; layered veggie enchiladas. Homemade sauce. It’s like an enchilada lasagna. So good!

Pizza no. 2 from the same dough. Refrigerated 2 days so it was nice and bubbly. Nice crust and overall flavor tonight. It’s alllll gone.
