Dry shake everything to get it frothy, then a second shake with ice. Strain and voila, a foamy sweet treat.

I was browsing Craigslist late last night when I came across this Danelectro 56 U-3 reissue from the 90s. It was a pretty good deal with a hard case thrown in so I felt the need to jump on it. She’s in terrific condition with the person I bought it from being the original owner. 3 lipstick pickups, aluminum nut, gotoh tuners, slim neck, and no dings. I can’t wait to plug her in later tonight!

I have a decent sized collection of records coming in currently at 429 12” + a handful of 45s, singles and a stack of odd but cool postcard records. I’ll think of a random number, then look it up on a spreadsheet with my current inventory that’s sorted A-Z by Artist. Today was 222 so I’m currently listening to King Gizzard and the Lizard’s Polygondwanaland. How do you pick what to listen to?

Put the baby to bed then ducked into the basement and pulled out my bass vi I haven’t picked up in a while.

The microwave that came with my house is the first time I’ve ever had a microwave that had perfectly working popcorn setting. It has never burnt a bag of microwave popcorn.

I guess my Dutch ovens were a little too small for the boules I shaped. The exteriors aren’t too pretty but the crumb is near perfect. This is my first time making Pain De Campagne from Flour Water Salt Yeast and I’m really happy with the result.

I was feeling tropical
