I know I live in New York and I could just walk down the street to get a fantastic bagel, but I'm baffled every time to find out that my favorite bagels are the ones I make at home (mostly because they're fresh). This batch came out tasty but I made the critical mistake of not buying any toppings the night before, and realizing this morning as I boiled/baked them that I only had a small amount of sesame seeds left.

First sourdough in years. It's not the worst I've ever made, but lots of room for improvement. I think I left this one to prove too long, I don't remember what my schedule used to be but this dough was very loose by the time I got to shaping it.
But the really good news is that with this I've achieved my #burnoutrecovery goal of getting three ferments on the go at a time. My kombucha is still going, and I'm starting to be able to attend to it often enough that it doesn't turn to vinegar. I'm currently pressing an almond cheese that went through a successful lacto fermentation. PLUS I have fermented carrots in the fridge, so really I have four right now!
Fermentation is kind of a metric of how much my functional capacity has improved, and it's also a health intervention in itself. I mean, I was really into fermentation for years and I got very unwell anyway so it's no panacea. But I've heard that having at least three different ferments leads to better health outcomes and a more biodiverse gut. It's also just good batch prep that makes it easier to eat whole foods, reducing the need for junk food. It's important that I use newly reclaimed capacity to further take care of my body, because it's too easy to fall into the old habit of getting absorbed in mental tasks when I really need to focus on my health.

Dev & I been experimenting a lot with our solar cooker this summer, especially after a part failed. We couldn't cook food in water, so we've been grinding legumes(chickpeas, lentils...) and certain grains(rice, buckwheat...) into flour.
Doing this reduces cooking time, and as a result we've been eating a lot more legumes.
We grind the flour in advance with our grain mill and keep them in jars.

Did an interesting solar cooking experiment yesterday, we milled some glutenous rice into flour, put the flour in the solar oven with water, it made a very tasty rice cake, which we then sliced and roasted in a pan in sesame oil. Its texture is exactly like that of mochi. We didn't take any pictures unfortunately, but it looked legit.

Can confirm that the tea tastes wonderful. I was going to go and pick more blóðberg today but I got sidetracked and then a storm hit the cabin so I stayed inside instead. #theGalley

Spent the afternoon climbing the side of a mountain picking thymus praecox (mother of thyme) or Blóðberg (blood rock) like it is known in Icelandic. It is being dried as I write this and hopefully tomorrow I will be able to enjoy my favorite tea. #theGalley

Did it !
"Coffee" from solar-roasted soybeans ^____^!
I'm really impressed with the flavor. It makes an excellent coffee alternative.

Two kinds of beans, spring onions, fresh coriander, cucumber, capers, olive oil, salt, pepper and a splotch of very sour home made apricot compot. Makes for a fine breakfast.

Today I learned that if you want a proper selection of legumes you need to go to the Turkish supermarket.

Today's solar-cooked concoction(say that many times real fast): 2 small baguettes (a wheat and buckwheat mixture), which we'll have for dinner tonight with soybean hummus.
One baguette has little dents in it because the parchment paper wrapping collapsed inward a bit ^^;.

My favorite mix to prepare lately is either lentil or chickpea flour(i grind both myself), mixed with cumin, chili flakes, garlic powder, turmeric and kasoori methi (and water, evidently).
The mixture is not overly runny and it is possible to cook it in the canoe(what i call our improvised solar cooker tray). Kasoori methi smells so, so good ;________;.
The result is a long tube savory cake, which I cut into thick slices and throw onto other meals. Tasty, filling, and uses shelf-stable items. -
