- that turned out to be a mistake. I only made four of potentially a dozen banana breads, & although they were tasty, they didn’t have their usual moist crumb. Thankfully I kept my wet ingredients and dry ingredients separate. Trying again today. Adding a slurry of eggs, butter & buttermilk.
Important update from last night’s banana bread-making. How much banana bread I make is determined by how many frozen bananas there are. 10 cups of 🧊🍌!! So I ran out of eggs & substituted some @kingarthurbaking.bsky.social Whole Grain flour for regular whole wheat flour. Well -
What’s that, world..? You’re gonna stress me out and then send torrential rain, so I can’t leave the house to distract myself? Do you want banana bread? Because that’s how you get banana bread. #stressbaking #BakingSky #baking
Local police put this up at a parking lot where some neighborhood teens set fairly large fireworks off each year. If anything there’s more nearby fireworks this time. IFK what the answer is, but that’s not it. #1984 #4thofJuly
Happy Friday..! 😁 Trump’s name has started to be removed from the #KennedyCenter. This link is a live feed from across the street, at the Watergate building: www.youtube.com/live/BslwLBR...
An art hero of mine, Marjane Satrapi, has died at 56. Far too young. Her graphic novels powerfully told of her life in Iran & she went on to direct movies. On IMDB her cause of death is “sadness”; her partner died in 2025. Via @comicsbeat.bsky.social - 💔 #art www.comicsbeat.com/marjane-satr...
Been doing a lot of stress baking because of *gestures at everything, I live 30 min outside DC* & I’m 100% gonna make them w/ this. Those look so good, TY for sharing..! The previous fave PB cookies are these w/ mini Reese’s & a couple of bite-size Snickers.
Hey, who out there is participating in #MayDay today..? No work, no school, no shopping. Asking because I’m not seeing any press about it. Bluesky peeps are the only folks I see talking about it. (Graphic courtesy of Subversive Press on Etsy.)
Don’t usually notice celebrity gossip but if a 👑Queen👑 like @megantheestailion.bsky.social gets cheated on, make it make sense. Stunning, talented & smart; obviously better things than that blaaand piece of clay are in her future. #bodyodyody
Driving into DC tonight for dinner & was a bit late because of the president’s motorcade. We passed National Guard folks near the restaurant & as we we left, heard about shots fired at the Correspondents Dinner. And that it’s still happening. This is a surreal, tense place - & time! - to live in.
You may have good, even great, friends. But do you have friends that, when visiting your hometown, come back with true NYC treats to share..? 💙 I miss you, NYC..! #NYC #FoodSky #Kossars #bialys #gimmeaslice
10 years ago we lost #Prince. I was driving when I heard & pulled over to yell and cry. From an interview with members of his Super Bowl team: I said, “Is Prince OK?” And then he said, “He wants to know if you can make it rain harder.” www.theringer.com/2020/01/29/m... youtu.be/-WYYlRArn3g?...
@kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social I live & vote in VA. Democrat not only moving to restrict war powers but also calling loudly for impeachment have no spine. Moreover they’ll not have votes in the future. Most of our representatives have enough money. Take risks, represent your voters.
Megan is so gorgeous & talented! 🖤 Conquering Broadway like everything else she does.
Leaving a local #NoKings protest. More later, but, 🤣: got too🥶 to walk, so I drove around the protest, honking & playing Bad Bunny’s “NUEVAYoL” *loudly*. The protesters ❤️ it but a 20-something guy head-bopping along in a car at a traffic light was *confused* when he saw me. Not the 🎯 demographic?
We were literally playing Wyrmspan yesterday. We have a friend who made us custom eggs..!
Post your favorite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.
It says you are a caring, normal human being experiencing some crazy stressful conditions. Tell me some of the amazing things you’ve baked lately. Distract me from the horrors. Here’s a pumpkin Bundt with cheesecake filling, browned butter drizzle & toffee bits.
An artist friend rented a room to me a long time ago, after a bad breakup. I decided to bake my way through it. “Never bake in anger,” my friend said, between mouthfuls of cookies. What about baking in stark existential anxiety..? Is that ok..? ‘cause my anxiety tastes like banana bread. #BakingSky
I wasn’t the biggest Nicki Minaj fan, but I was earwormed hard by “Super Bass”. As the daughter of an immigrant mom I won’t engage with any more of her art, including Lip Synch Battles. Yes, even Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s performance. (I know it’s trivial compared to *everything* but COME ONNN..!)
1/1/26 - Brought brunch to friends, great conversation, gorgeous holiday tree, petted kitties, saw a massive starling formation & lovely sunset from the road, played a favorite game, chatted with my brothers & cooked a good supper for someone I love. OK, not bad. 🤞 now, zzzzzz
Whatever your New Year’s celebrations are, I hope they are delightful fun, with safe transportation home afterwards. May we all survive 2026. #happynewyear
