Oh man, my spouse is obsessed with this movie! πππ₯
Even bought him all the novels....
Such a good movie.
I'll try to stop by in the morning, but it's a bit of a busy day. I'll be baking pie for the first time, in prep for Pi Day! π₯§ (I suppose I could do that during sprints π€)

Honestly, The Entertainer felt a bit overdone. I think it's the most famous one. So I wanted to learn maybe the second most famous π
Oh, and I rarely go for the easiest choice in life - I love a good challenge. They're often the most rewarding. πππ₯

Yes, sourdough is super popular right now. I'm not sure why, but it is... I'm actually going to write a science activity about it π
Yes, I did sourdough pretzels a bit ago! They're great!π
I do like super soft cookies! We also use our own chicken eggs, so I'm less worried about being undercooked.

Feel free to share the recipe πͺππ
As long as there are no trans fats π€£
And, um, no sourdough. My family doesn't let me make sourdough discard cookies anymore ππ

(I'm only allowed to stick with savory sourdough bakes apparently..)

Yeah, I got pretty close. Maybe about 15 ft (5 m) from the biggest. He was totally like, "You're just taking picts? That's cool. I'm just going to keep chew'n ma cud."
Would have gotten closer had I not been trying to serve as a good role model for my young curious kiddos though π

That gives me hope! Hard to find time to practice, so progress is slow, but getting there eventually π
I actually learned The Entertainer as a kid (like 9/10), but never mastered it. I'll probably revisit at some point. Yes, love Easy Winners & those others too! Also Cascades, Gladiolus Rag...

Getting more snow here now, so that's fantastic. βοΈπ
Not sure how clear it is, but all the people standing around in that one picture are super close to two chilling, giant mule deer.
(We saw a moose too, but luckily it wasn't near people! Best not to mess with mooses... Or meeses...)

Oh, yes indeed, well-spotted!
Damien does have incredibly high standards for himself, and this is revisited/managed later. And possibly, as people like this do, he may have similarly incredibly high expectations of others (which possibly leads to disappointment, and possibly being alone...).

You know, I'm going to ask for picts the next time you bake something you want to share w/ folks hereπ Sounds like you've gained a lot of experience & could help others not completely destroy their attempted bakes! π
Mmmm... I love scones too. Haven't made those either! ππ Adding to my list...

Ok, just because it's highly amusing. This was up at Estes Park, with lots of folks around (YMCA). The mule deer didn't care one bit that bus loads of people came by...
And weird squirrel, because why not.
Now you know what the Rocky Mountains are like π
There was glacier snow, but further up.

Apple tree branch with snow
So, we're getting snow now! (Nevermind that it's immediately melting into water upon contact with the ground, shhhh.) Just a dusting so far, but here's hoping.
Photographic evidence π
One of the many apple trees I've planted in our yard. Needs pruning.

Yes, I was going to attempt #baking a lattice crust apple pie! Oh boy. π
My hope is that even if--er, when(!) I completely botch the lattice, it'll at least still be tasty π

Oh yes, drip pan! Thanks! Hoping my experienced spouse will also help ensure I don't somehow burn the kitchen down..
