Today's picture is someone making a mojito with their homemade moonshine. It's fun finding a new bootleg pubski picture at work every week!

Alright what's new? I've been doing some baking recently. Made soft pretzels last week and scallion pancakes this week. Both recipes are from the book Savory Baking by Erin McDowell. I can't sing the praises of the book enough it's got so many killer savory baking recipes. If you like baking its fabulous. The rough puff pastry is stellar I've made pies and pastries with it and there's a Broccoli Rabe and Ricotta Galette that uses that which still has to be one of the most dangerous and delicious things I've ever made.

Work is still work. Still waiting on the federal government to release the work plans so I'm still in a holding pattern and applying to jobs slowly.

Hope y'all are well!

Yo omg,

Got this book on your recommendation and wow its really nice. Has guides for basic stuff too like how to fold and what stuff works for adding to doughs etc. Absolutely terrific, ty so much

Got a mixer off Craigslist too, but its making a weird grinding noise. Hoping that regreasing it will help, first time messing around with gears and I'm hoping not to screw it up :p seems fairly simple though, lots of videos online

Hell yeah!! Let me know what you make I've explored maybe 10-20% of the book there's a ton more there and they're all just perfect recipes. I really want to try the croissants with homemade compound butters. She's got a pesto butter ham and cheese croissant and hot damn I haven't done the work on that yet but it just sounds so delectable
