I've been baking scones instead of muffins lately.
As a result, I let our muffin supplies get to a perilous low. There were only two muffins left in the freezer.
My husband and Summer made sure I was aware of the situation the first thing this morning.
So, this afternoon I baked dozens of blueberry muffins. Perfect for an afternoon snack with a cup of tea.
Our supply is replenished.
I think we will be ok now.
Thank goodness.

It was just suggested to me that I am "frustration-baking" again 
.
True. Frustrated with hours spent for nothing on a banking website. Then fighting their AI on the phone.
So there will be plum cake this afternoon 
.
A belated Mother’s Day cake. It is vegan toffee cake with vegan vanilla buttercream decorated with flesh flowers and gold foil. #vegan #veganfood #baking #cake
Sometimes I bake without following a recipe and forget to put some ingredients into the batter. I put a banana bread into the oven 10 minutes ago and just realized that I forgot to put in some vanilla extract. Hopefully the strawberry milk in it will take care of the flavouring. Or the bananas. Or the lemon juice. If it turned up at all. I didn't really measure everything properly because I like living on the edge lol.
Oh well. I get what I get.
Today’s dinner: Focaccia di patate
Focaccia made with lievito madre and topped with thin potato slices.

I get Breaking Bad vibes from these new gloves and I kinda love it!

My wife bought this magnet at the dollar store. What in the world is going on with the bottom half? https://www.diningandcooking.com/2008432/my-wife-bought-this-magnet-at-the-dollar-store-what-in-the-world-is-going-on-with-the-bottom-half/ #baking
Chatting with my daughter every day while we protest has been really special.
She is smart, funny, empathetic and fiercely liberal.
I am a proud mom.
She is also really good at reminding me that my cinnamon scones were her absolute favorite baked thing I have ever baked.
So today I got the hint and will give them another go.
I so hope that they turn out the same. You never know with me.
My free wheeling approach to recipes gets me in trouble sometimes when I need to deliver the same thing again.
Fingers crossed they are good.
They are in the freezer now getting cold before I pop them in the oven.

I have #baked a lot of bread in my life but never #sourdough and never from a starter.
i needed some cheering up so i baked an orange olive oil cake. came out great - i used a blood orange, so the icing on top ended up being tinted pink, haha
This is the face of a man who knows that which is in his mouth is an abomination.
update: here’s the Bavarian Village Rye Bread, hot out of the pan. i’m MUCH happier with this result! #BreadPost #Baking #DIY 
A very cost effective alternative to eggs is aquafaba, the water from chickpeas. Chickpeas are very cheap and the water from them makes a great alternative to eggs in baking as they can whipped up. So you can use the water in baking and the chickpeas in a wide variety of recipes.

Pre-COVID, I baked a pie almost every week for a little over a year. It was a very fun project, I learned so much about my favorite dessert, refined techniques, experienced new pies (Dried Apple Pie was probably my favorite forgotten pie). It was all documented on a site named “Year of Pie.” It was lost to SquareSpace, though.
But thanks to a post from @toddtyrtle, I discovered that static site generators had become a thing. With the help of the Way Back Machine, I was able to grab an 90% complete version of the old text. And all the old photos have been on a hard drive, because why toss pics of pie?
So, it’s rough. There are major missing pieces. There are obvious layout issues. Old posts are being added every few days, but happy enough to put it out there.
Edit: American sweet pies, not English savory pies. Though a few of those were made later in the project.
My latest #sourdough loaf.
My scoring hasn’t typically worked well with higher hydration, but the 6 min scoring cheat worked a treat for me.
I made potato buns again but this time I used an egg substitute to reduce the cholesterol (and so I wouldn’t have to buy eggs). They look and smell just as good as the first time I made them!
Grandma therapy this afternoon.
I baked these scone like pastries that are lemon blueberry flavor with a light lemon glaze.
If the lemon glaze counts as frosting they might not really be scones.
But no matter.
They are very tasty still warm right out of the oven.
Dropping off all except one on my way to get an MRI.
I shouldn't have eaten one for dinner but I did.
Not sorry.
