Fascinated by food history and science. Writer. Musician. Trekkie. Making magic in the kitchen and obsessing about my sourdough starter. Too stubborn to not have hope.

It's a good sign when you go to the local plant nursery so often that the owner recognizes you, right?

Right?

Anyway I got a new plant. Let's grow some onions.

I have a theory that our failures as a society depended once we stopped using dramatic voiceovers on movie trailers.

Going from watching Ghosts (US) to Ghosts (UK) must be how people feel when going to Disneyland their whole life and finally going to Magic Kingdom

The life of Napoleon Bonaparte is a great example of what not to do, including taking weird, unregulated medications full of mercury #history #funfacts

It's always a good time for some Deep Space 9

A scene from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s episodes “Past Tense”, set in 2024. Doctor Bashir is speaking to a woman from the time period saying “it’s not your fault things are the way they are.” The woman responds with “Everybody tells themselves that. And nothing ever changes.”

I really need to get better at taking photos of my food after cooking it..even if it takes extra steps for staging and styling a plate.

These are sourdough soft pretzel bites. But they look like chunks of boiled chicken in this photo 😂

Update: crumblier than I expected but salty and delicious 🤤

My dough came out too dry and kept cracking when I tried to roll it 😅 Ive incorporated more water and now I'm waiting for it to chill again. Or maybe it's been overmixed...anyway, more to come 😵‍💫
