I have an indian vegetarian cook book that I bought some years back. Every single recipe that I'd like to try from it has at least one impossible to source ingredient...

I subbed milk with whey (that I got from my quark making experiment) in the recipe, and on top of that didn't knead as much. The resulting dough didn't rise properly nor did it feel "right" when shaping.

I'll count today's sandwich bread experiment a failure. I'm fairly sure I'll be disappointed once I cut into the loaf as well.

Final product - whole & cut up. Because everyone loves a good crumb shot.

Making sourdough after a 4 year break. Looks like I still got it, the oven spring looks good.

Mistakes were made, knowledge obtained and a small success to boot. I present, 56g of quark. Abmissysal yield (should've been around 400g), but at least not a complete failure.

Attempting to make quark from scratch... Wish me luck 🤞🏼

As I'm getting back into making bread at home, I stocked up on some nice organic flour. Have to figure out where to store all 10kg of it, but I'm already excited for my next bake!

Freshly out of the oven. Now to wait patiently as they cool down, wouldn't want to burn my whole mouth and ruin the experience.

Going to try to make Ravazzate (Sicilian Meat Buns) today. They look mighty delicious in this video: youtube.com/watch?v=sJ2yZh…

Turns out I didn't add enough salt to the dough either. Other than that, the end result was still delicious and quickly devoured by the fam.

And it's done! Looking good, though I'm skeptical on how the base turned out. I was short on time, so it didn't get to develop as much as I would've liked.

Making focaccia-pizza-inspired something. Gonna cook the base first.

First set of sandwiches done. Sadly the kid doesn't appreciate cranberries yet, so... more deliciousness for me.

Made some shokupan for the starting week. Going to use home made turkey ham and cranberry sauce to make some delicious sandwiches as soon as it cools down! 😋

I've been craving borscht for a while now. Finally found some fresh beets at the store today. It's almost ready now! 😋

I'm starting to cultivate microorganisms again. It's been some 4-5 years since my last colony found its end.

My 5yro has figured out how to reliably get past the screen time limiter on Xiaomi TV Box S. On one hand I'm truly proud of that little hacker, on the other hand I'm looking for solutions to workaround the buggy Xiaomi code.

Discovered that Bleach has 3 new seasons I was oblivious of (1000 year blood war), so I've been binging them non-stop. The art style has gotten slight tweaks, but overall it's still following the original Bleach formula. Loving it!
