I am currently taking a few days of staycation (stay + vacation) from work, and I feel that few activities say “quarantined staycation” more than bread making.
Here are some pictures in reverse chronological order:

I made whole wheat bread from the recipe in Joy of Cooking, and used maple syrup for the sweet part. Would make again!
I also watched three episodes of The Sopranos during this process.
I wrote this blog post on my phone in 20 minutes. I’ve entered a renewed phase of “what do I write about on my blog if I don’t feel like writing about design systems and other code-things”. Today, bread.
