It is illegal to not do at least one cider recipe during spooky season, and I absolutely do make the rules in this regard.

This time around it’s @smittenkitchen.bsky.social’s Apple Cider Doughnut Cake, because Deb can do no wrong. 🍎 🍩 🍰 🍂 🍽️

Ten slices of reddish brown apple cider loaf cake sit on a piece of parchment paper. A thin donut glaze can be seen drizzled over the top. An apple and a jug of apple cider are in the background.

I have rallied. (And by that I mean I’ve done extreme cosmetic surgery on the cake I split by attempting to move it when it was clearly still too warm).

My bake for work this week completely fell apart and I’m too tired to make another one and also wow I’m still so tired I need more time off and also probably a good cry.

I genuinely thought this was fake.

Welp, if Sydney Sweeney is doing the intro for the World Series game tonight then frankly we deserve to lose.

NA pals - this is fuckin’ delicious and honestly could also easily double as an NA whiskey replacement in a cocktail, somehow.

A bottle of Almave non alcoholic tequila spirit with an orange label. The bottle is dark colored and conical.

14th inning - Billy Joel’s “For the Longest Time” 😂

Beg pardon: 2 balls, 2 strikes, 2 outs, 2 on base.

He plays the theme from Twin Peaks when there are 2 balls and 2 outs with two on base, for example. (Bonus points if it’s in the second inning).

Figuring out why Dieter Ruehle, stadium organist for the Dodgers, is playing certain songs at certain times is one of my favorite games.
Tonight, so far, “I am the Walrus” by The Beatles when Edman was at bad (eggman=Edman 😂).

It’s October, and 82% of everything I make is going to be pumpkin related. Hope y’all are okay with that. 🎃 🍰 🍽️

Behold: King Arthur Baking Company’s Pumpkin Espresso Bundt Cake. Thank fuck I have my mom’s (maybe grandma’s?) Bundt cake pan, because no way in hell I would ever think to purchase one.

Two segments of a orangish brown Bundt cake sit on a white plate with a blue rim. Swirls of darker cinnamon espresso can be seen in the slices. The tops have been dusted with powdered sugar.

I will have had a whopping five days off in October and let me tell you, I am feeling it really hard right now. Tired to the point that I feel slightly teary.

If they aren’t they need to be and they should obviously be called gobbits

Moldy Rottenson 🎃 🌙 🔮 🥧 @mollyrobison.bsky.social · 6d

Right? Like, I suppose if I provided no information for where these recipes came from, I might understand their whining at me, but…surely it would be easier to google the title of the recipe I PUT IN THE POST than it would be to yell at me for not putting a link, right?

Also if you want a clear example of how fucking exhausted women are, I used to be nice. 🤷‍♀️

Moldy Rottenson 🎃 🌙 🔮 🥧 @mollyrobison.bsky.social · 6d

Proper title and source of the recipe is right there, guy. You have someone wipe your ass for you, too? 😂

I was waiting for this person to block me 😂
To clarify, it was some man whining at me “whyyyyy do you post pics of yummy things without a link to the recipeeee” as if I’m ruining their lives by existing online and forcing them to use a search engine with the information I have provided to them.

I’m gonna say this with my full chest: I get this comment a lot. I post the source and the title of the recipe in every. Single. Post.
If you can’t search the internet, that’s on you, my brother.

The other bakes I’ve made that happened to be on @kingarthurbaking.bsky.social’s Best of Fall list, so far, have been a coincidence; this one was very intentional. 🎃 🥧 🍽️

These are their Pumpkin Pie Bars for this week’s work treat.

Thin slices of pumpkin pie in the shape of long, rectangular bars sit on a piece of parchment paper on a wooden table. They have been topped with a sour cream whipped cream and sprinkled with cinnamon.

<< having just eaten far too much at some kind of holiday dinner, glass of red wine in hand, holiday music playing, coffee brewing, dogs running around. It's like hygge but the SAFEST hygge and every year I miss it a little bit more.

Moldy Rottenson 🎃 🌙 🔮 🥧 @mollyrobison.bsky.social · 9d

There's a very specific feeling that I used to get around this time of year that I miss maybe more than any other feeling, and I'll never get it back because it's not possible.
I miss the feeling of being at my childhood home, with my extended family, slightly too warm, in front of the fireplace >>

We decidedly do not love shooting up at 5 AM out of a dead sleep, seemingly for no reason at all, feeling fully awake and slightly edgy.

Cracked my back so loud I heard it echo in the harbor 👍

Four Midwesterners at a four-way stop, none exactly sure which stopped first, all too polite to make the first move. It was a hell of a standoff.
