Still not sure how many there are this year but it's at least 6!

Crumb shot

Or are you just waking up from the post-post-lunch nap

But they are getting gold again

I'll admit my mistake of putting it down in the sun, but, the book is due tomorrow, I still have 150 pages to go, and blue band means no renewal.

The other 90% should be just as easy, right?

'Twas kinda a pain in the ass so I'm not typing out the recipe, but it was adapted from America's Test Kitchen "Mostly Meatless"

That being said it was nice enough that the PITA\Goodness ratio is well into the "I'd make it again on a rainy Sunday while watching the Huskies win the championship" range.

Recipe adapted from Betti Bossi.

Preheat 400f

Blind bake a crust for 15 minutes or until it is very lightly golden.

Blanche (ok, microwave) 200g frozen peas, then run under cold water. Drain well.

Toss peas with 1 TBS Balsamic, 2 TBS olive oil, and 1 TBS Mustard. Some herbs are nice too, I used Bärlauch (literally "bear garlic") and some savory. Set aside.

In a bowl: 1 small log of goat cheese, and enough cottage cheese to total 250g. 2 eggs. Salt and pepper. Mix well.

Add egg mixture to pie crust, bake for 10 minutes.

Add the peas and dressing on top of the tort, bake another 10-15 minutes.

Let cool at least slightly, but it's nice anywhere from piping hot to room temp.

En guete!

You're half crazy, Daisy, all for the love of snow.

80% hydration, instant yeast. Tested out the cold oven, cold dutch oven technique. Results, pretty good crumb even if it did spread a bit

Next time I might cut the H2O down to 75% and or give it a second fold

It puffed in the middle only, and was almost bready around the edges, Crumb shot.

Released better than I expected, thought I was going to have to mangle it.

70% Bread flour

20% Eincorn flour

10% Whole wheat

30% 5 Grain hot cereal (soaked in cold water, drained, reserving soaking liquid)

78% water (use reserved soaking liquid for up to half the water)

2.2% salt

4g instant yeast

Taken from my couch, I guess the bird feeder is not just for seed eaters.

Blue Jays are year-round around here, but they really feel like a winter bird to me.

Bonus, Come on let me see you shake a tail feather
