Westphalian Pumpernickel Bread

Image
 All of this, the chemistry, the fermentation, the cracked but not ground rye, the cooking technique is fascinating--and sounds a little weird. I am intrigued. Am I intrigued enough to try it? Um.... 4:40 hours of sleep on top of falling asleep in my chair before going to bed.

Stop pan frying fish

Image
 Sometimes one just needs a vehement title even if one already mostly poaches fish. Plus there's the French accent 5:28 hours of sleep. I could easily have slept longer but I did have destinations...and that also meant no dishwashing.

Nice soothing pyroclastic flow video: Shibolich on Kamchatka

Image
  What? The news timeline is not exhausting enough. How about another more unpredictable worry? 7:52 hours of sleep. This is called GO TO BED when one is too exhausted to do anything else and never mind whether there is Kyiv worship at 12:30 am. Do I have energy to clean my house? No, not yet, but I did have energy to have sister read some sympathy cards and to do multiple calls and emails.

Beavers back from extinction to save Sweden.

Image
Wildlife / ecosystem recovery stories are just good for the soul.  I got exactly 0 hours of sleep in bed and a few bits of nap. I am a grownup. I stayed up all night being a YouTube news junkie and also ducking some emotions. When I get too tired, the emotions don't throb as much. I just can barely think the next day. The other dawn delight though was just how mild the weather felt, in the high 50's already at 7 am. I WILL sleep tonight and may not even try for Wednesday worship in Kyiv.

"Chordash Monti" for two double bases

Image
 from before the #Pandemic but still the same performer laying down two tracks. Info in the description about instrument size, extended fingerboard, and string type that probably help make the instrument sound more cello-like. Fun music and a way to self-soothe amid all the other CRAP on one's social media timelines. 5:52 hours of sleep. Awake much too late for an in-person meeting. The world will not stop and I am working on trusting the rest of the team.

Basically something between Omelet and Mac and Cheese but

Image
 One of the things that intrigues me is the portability once it's baked 7:12 hours of sleep. I am SO glad I got a shower and shampoo before bed. Beautiful day but I did not get out. I did manage to do dishes.  Woohoo

Mediterranean Style potato salad: NO MAYO

Image
  about 1:06 hours of sleep. Mom passed away 3 months ago today. I am not sure just giving in to grief and not trying to sleep more was optimal but I seem to have done okay though I did come home and crash after my morning gig at WCB leadership
