I have a decent sized collection of records coming in currently at 429 12” + a handful of 45s, singles and a stack of odd but cool postcard records. I’ll think of a random number, then look it up on a spreadsheet with my current inventory that’s sorted A-Z by Artist. Today was 222 so I’m currently listening to King Gizzard and the Lizard’s Polygondwanaland. How do you pick what to listen to?

Photo taken on the Orleans St bridge after last week’s river dye.

Fujifilm xt-200, toy camera lens. Taken St Patrick’s day weekend when people flock to downtown Chicago to watch the River Dye. It was a beautiful mid 60 degrees day. I was walking to a friend’s condo when a group of people sitting on a bridge caught my eye.

Tartine no knead method, 75% hydration. The kitchen smells like heaven

It is both funny and true

Put the baby to bed then ducked into the basement and pulled out my bass vi I haven’t picked up in a while.

I was surprised to hear Gizz play on national television during a replay/cut to commercial. Woo!

I painted this Christmas card to mail to my mom using water color and acrylic paints on multimedia blank cards from Blick. All the Bob Ross I’ve watched finally came in handy- I am pleased with how this happy little tree came out.

The microwave that came with my house is the first time I’ve ever had a microwave that had perfectly working popcorn setting. It has never burnt a bag of microwave popcorn.

I guess my Dutch ovens were a little too small for the boules I shaped. The exteriors aren’t too pretty but the crumb is near perfect. This is my first time making Pain De Campagne from Flour Water Salt Yeast and I’m really happy with the result.
