Last Notes npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi I've been delaying fasting blood tests for weeks. I have to do it. I just don't wanna. It's going to suck. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Any Lake Placid, NY area family photographers on Mastodon? I'd like fun, active family portraits taken while we're in the area in mid August. #LakePlacid #photography npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi A thunderstorm glanced us this evening and the sun was setting as it was leaving. It caused the sky to turn peachy pink (left photo, the sky with a bit of the trees in shadow) and that made everything around us pink, including my half dead but still lovely white mountain laurel (right photo, my deck with lettuce growing on the railing, mountain Laurel growing behind it in my yard. Everything has a pink hue to it.) #ctwx npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Black Bear is evil. They killed the youth hockey program my sons played for. A program that had been around since the 70s. Heartbreaking. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Oh goodness. I have a scan in 2 weeks. I hope I'm not shorter! I'm already the runt in this house. By a Lot. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi !!!! You have daffodils?!? npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi She's the best dog. I love her stories and I hope her pal wasn't too lonely while you and she got some fresh salty air. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Gorgeous! The winter is a great time to visit the beach. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi I would like to know more about this cranberry cheesecake, please. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi It's working!! npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi I don't think it's charging. 😭 npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi CRAP. I was making pancakes this morning listening to my audiobook. I popped my earbud out when Husband came into the kitchen. I put the thing down & went about making breakfast. I cleaned up, sat down & looked in the earbud case & it wasn't there. Searched the kitchen counters. Nope. Floor? Nope. I started doing dishes & guess what I found in the sink under water? My earbud! *Sob* I dried it off but now the sound coming out of it is... unique. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Well done! npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Gathering the nerve to make pumpkin scones like @npub15w9…2huq. Made gf pumpkin muffins with maple glaze. Photo is a pumpkin muffin on a plate, rows of more muffins out of focus sitting on a cooling rack behind it. The really out of focus red thing in the background is my #Ankarsrum mixer. ♥️ #food npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi I think I need to up my scone game. My local market never has cinnamon chips available and when I do see them I never know what to make with them so I don't purchase. I guess I have a reason to buy now. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi The only reason I worked out today was because my husband did first. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi my husband asked once & I highly doubt he's ever going to ask again. 🤣🤣🤣 npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Let me hear it, Cookie! 🤣 npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi I baked a cake at 7AM this morning, let it cool & wrapped it in plastic wrap before work. I knew if I had just left it on the counter it would be picked at while I was at work, so this was my preventative measure. (Photo is an unfrosted round chocolate cake wrapped in plastic wrap, a small sticky note with the word NO written in marker stuck to the plastic.) #food npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Do good sleeps. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Does planning & looking forward to a trip help or is it the warmth/change of scenery? I go through a second round in late February/most of March. It's like the seasonal change messes with me. Miserable, but at least now I can recognize what it is and take steps to help. I walk later in the day, when the sun is lower. Walking earlier in the day doesn't help as much. It's like my brain needs to see the sun setting earlier & earlier. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi The only thing that helps my SAD is a mild antidepressant and walking outside every day, even if it's just 10 minutes, regardless of weather. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi I give every rental truck a wide berth. In my fantastical head they're always loaded with 2 tons of dynamite. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Just wait until you learn about how many different types of flour there are. 🤯 npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi I love his work. This is gorgeous. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi I don't know how this became such a popular topic here but there were so many posts that I checked CNN with a hopeful heart only to be let down. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Gorgeous!! npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi I'm still in amazement that it worked. It was so easy. We go through 2-4lbs of butter a week, when I get on a baking kick. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Today's #ankarsrum challenge: npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi A little hint for folks who are so envious of successful gardeners - drop hints to acquaintances who grow anything & trust me, they'll think of you when they have something to share. I offered to bake muffins in exchange for honey & some zucchinis from one of the food bank volunteers. Another volunteer overheard our exchange today & said she'd trade me some of her corn, tomatoes & sweet potatoes for a dozen muffins. #food npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Potters are magicians. Just lovely. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi 2nd round of rolls out of the oven. I corrected the issues from the other day. With this batch I also brushed to top with melted butter before putting them in the oven, again after they came out, then sprinkled coarse kosher salt on top. Dough behaved better, and I think they came out prettier. What to make next??? #food #bread #baking npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Not the prettiest, but they're more than edible. Actually pretty good. Soft. I'll keep working on them. I know my 2 mistakes (faster knead on the machine is needed, less oil in the bowl that I used... actually 3 mistakes - third was warmer proof environment.) I journaled it all, so hopefully I don't repeat the mistakes. They're glutenous, so I only ate 1, but husband & 2 teens were circling them. Here's a photo of the rolls, cooling on the rack. FRIENDS, I MADE BREAD!! #food #baking npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi I got the mixer home, unboxed it and after eating dinner, I mixed up some dinner rolls, with a recipe designed for the #Ankarsrum. There's a learning curve. My dough isn't rising. Lol. It's going to be a process until I get something edible. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Just me, cruising Massachusetts with a #Ankarsrum mixer on the back seat. (I'm still in my parking lot of the kitchen store attempting to calm down from the excitement before making the drive back. It's red! What should I name her?? OMFG I can't BELIEVE it!!) npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi I have a free day tomorrow. The boys are off doing their thing until the afternoon and I have nothing scheduled. This is making me have feelings. I'd LOVE a day to do nothing. But I also feel like I should be doing SOMETHING. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi I think if nothing else major breaks in the house & no one's car dies this summer, I can probably save up enough to get my dream mixer by September. IF they don't raise the price of it. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Awww. Poor pup. I hope he heals quickly. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Be safe. I can't wait to see the photos! npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi I bake constantly and bagels have always intimidated the hell out of me. Good for you for taking the leap. I hope they're delicious. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi I am also grateful for #MedicalMarijuana tonight. I've had a headache/migraine all day & was super nauseous on my way home from work. Smoked a sativa dominant hybrid with CBD flower and I finally have relief. I napped. I ate dinner. When I wake up tomorrow I'm going to (hopefully) feel good. With pharmaceuticals I would have slept but been out of it for about 24 hours. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Wow! That's impressive. And scary as hell. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi I did a brave thing. I never do this. I'm not great at decorating but this cake was screaming for a happy decoration. I separated my frosting into 5 parts, after spreading a thin crumb coat on the cake. I added different amounts of yellow gel food coloring to each bowl, then put them in piping bags with star tips. Randomly covered the top of the cake in stars, all in various shades of yellow. Is it perfect? No. But I still think it looks sunny & lemon-riffic. #food #FuckYeahCake #baking #gf npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Earlier today I baked a lemon cake for a work gathering tomorrow. Gonna decorate it now. Lemon frosting is delicious. Why have I not made it sooner? Photos later. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Your post came through my tl earlier so I popped in earbuds & listened. Just finished. Definitely hits different but is still great. I missed the more upbeat rockers that have been on other albums. Not a complaint! I'm happy to hear new music from them. I hope Evan can continue to maintain his sobriety & take care of his mental health on the road. He's been through hell & back. I was afraid that he'd turn away from music for good. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Do the flowers have a scent? Really pretty blossoms. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi With Older Kidlet home, I moved back to my own bed tonight. Not going to lie- I really liked having my own bedroom. I didn't have panic about being awake when the insomnia hit. I could start my meditation or boring story app without worrying that the light from the cell phone was going to wake Husband up. I could do my wake up stretches in bed, as intended, instead of going downstairs to my yoga mat. And, no snoring! But I miss my bed. And my husband's reassuring presence. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi They're such happy flowers. Lovely photos! npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi This is viral pink eye, which makes sense because I've been sick as hell with a virus since last Thursday (although, I'm improving a lot.) The drops have taken the edge off the worst of it but I'm still noticeably symptomatic. I'm staying home from work again. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Fuck. I have pink eye. I think I have to stay home from baking class today. This sucks. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi No burnt hockey pucks today! They're tender & flaky. Happy with the way they came out. Did they rise uniformly? No. But I didn't roll out the dough. I just smooshed it with my hand. No biscuit cutter so I used a Ball jar. They could benefit from a little more salt. I used shortening, not salted butter & I think that's where the salt is missing from. Photos are the biscuits fresh out of the oven (left) & one split open with a pat of butter melting in the center of one half (right). #food #baking npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Today is biscuit day! I'm excited to try making them. I've only made them once, probably 20 yrs ago. They came out like hockey pucks. Burned the hell out of them so I never made them again. Lol. I like to think that I now know how to work a timer and I'm much better at making dough. (Can you tell I'm excited for tomorrow's baking class?!?) npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi While not perfect, these are far superior to the other batch of #macarons I attempted. One noticable thing - I had trouble peeling some of them off the silpat but others popped right off (photo). Maybe I'll let the bake an extra minute next time. I'm really proud of myself. These aren't easy cookies to bake. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi This time I got the batter to do a figure 8 (yay! This is what we want!), last time it was gloppy even after working it for a long time. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi We're getting closer. I attempted a swiss meringue to start this time. I pulsed the almond flour in a #food processor, which last time I did not do. (Last time I tried using a nutrabullet first which released the almond oils so I couldn't sift the ingredients. Threw that out, then just threw in the almond flour in. See the photo in the previous post. That's what I got. Grainy.) This time I pulsed, sifted 3x. They still look grainer than I'd like. I did not add vanilla like last time. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Ok, I think I'm ready to try #macarons again. I know what I did wrong last time so I won't repeat those mistakes (hopefully). I let my egg whites come to room temp and now I need to prepare everything else. Wish me luck, friends! It was heartbreaking to throw out the last batch. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi One of my student workers hates chocolate. Her birthday is soon so I asked her what sweets she DOES like. She said with enthusiasm, "Macarons!" I thought, "Well, fuck. That's hard." npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi It's supposed to snow here on Thursday. Can I borrow Summer for inside fun? npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi I wish people would give me weird vintage clothing to wear. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi My mil is a bread baker and it drives her nuts that I won't/can't eat what she bakes. She's been experimenting with gf bread recipes, which is honestly so generous. She gave me a loaf last night that was a definite fail. Now I'm tasked with gently explaining to her what I didn't like about it. Anyways, any #bread makers out there have a tried & true gf sandwich bread recipe to share? #food npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Happy Thanksgiving. My ginger cookies were an absolute (hilariously) flat fail. The ratio was off. Added a quarter cup more of gf flour and threw a small test batch back in the oven. (Maybe this recipe is gf flour friendly? Maybe I added too much brown sugar? Anyways, this is why we weigh, not measure our ingredients.) Want to see a photo of my failure?? 🫢 npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi I'm tired. And I may have done too much movement today. Super sore. Giving myself permission to meditate and then rest. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi The mechanic called this morning. They took my car apart to do the repair and found an antifreeze leak. It's an extra $777. So the money that I had been saving to start my little "out of my house" cottage bakery is now all going to fixing my car. Like, every last cent. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Delicious. I don't often make muffins. These make me want to make them. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi $4400 for the repair. The car is only worth $12k. If you need me, I'll be drinking heavily. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Funny how much I miss having a car when I hate leaving the house. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi I love it! 😍😍 npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi 🤣 If it brings you as much joy as dresses bring me, I say buy a toy aisle's worth. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Little known fact- if you intercept the recently delivered Thredup (an online clothing consignment shop) box you ordered, remove the clothes and put the box in the recycling bin and that bin gets emptied before your husband gets home from work, it's like you didn't order more dresses you don't really need and no one can be mad. Bonus points if you wash and dry the clothes. Hang those babies up and he'll never know. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Me too. I'm so happy when I'm making something sweet. Bonus when I get to share. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi You spoil them. ♥️ They're labor intensive. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi I have no idea why these make me so happy but they do. Adorable. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Today I bought my favorite dress in a larger size on Thredup. I've been avoiding the one in my closet because the last couple of times I wore it I was afraid I would break the zipper. I refuse to feel guilty. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi Cake. 6" round, gluten free black chocolate #cake with Hershey's cocoa frosting. A circle of crushed toffee candy decorates the top. #food #baker Getting a little better at decorating. npub1vnffutymcl9cwxq60cmk3cp5mgt43xfhsujckda75at7qvk3y22qczc56y Heidi I'm doing something that I promised myself I'd never do - starting my next baking project before the last one is fully cleaned up & put away. I just have the cold ingredients out to come up to room temp & the dry ingredients weighed & mixed. NBD. Husband bought me black cocoa to experiment with. I'm excited to use it. Photo is the ingredients in various cups on the counter.
