Une baguette un peu blonde

Also the shaping. But, quite chuffed, the old dough (the starter) spent 3 weeks in the fridge because of reasons.

The rise is good, we won’t talk about the cutting.

A loaf of crusty bread cools on a wire rack.

Asparagus Pasta

White asparagus (as fresh as you can get, ideally thin) peeled and cut on a bias into 1 to 2 cm slices, fried in butter, add some cooking water from your mezze penne, emulsify, add penne and flat parsley pesto (flat parsley, mint, pine nuts, parmigiano and olive oil).

Quite nice #recipe

Mini baguette

Shaping and cutting (still) need work

Three freshly baked baguettes are cooling on a wire rack.

Retirement

As my retirement is nearing I’m considering (additional) hobbies.

Some should be solo activities, others should encourage social interactions and new contacts. Some should be sustainable even when physical activity is getting difficult. Some should promote physical fitness.

So, a preliminary list:

  • cycling
  • photography
  • (local) history
  • archery
  • tai chi
  • volunteering
  • Volkshochschule
  • Languages

Suggestion welcome
