A photo of a homemade pizza with puffy crusts and gloriously cooked cheese sitting on a round pizza tray.

EPIC PIZZA SUCCESS. (Not pictured: the other two pizzas that weren't quite as nicely round).

In related news, I'm approximately 90% pizza by weight.

A photo of a very collapsed piece of ricotta cheesecake sitting on a small plate.

Not unexpectedly, the cheesecake didn't come out of the pan in any sort of nice-looking form, but hot DAMN was it delicious. So damn rich, I couldn't actually finish the whole piece.

A photo of a tall square baking pan with quite brown-topped cheesecake in it. The edges are higher than the middle, and it looks slightly collapsed. Smells amazing though.

Well, my cheesecake isn't going to win any aesthetic awards, that's for sure. We don't have a springform pan and it cooked itself at the corners up and slightly out of the pan, and has subsequently collapsed back in on itself a bit. It's got cinnamon and nutmeg in it, and chocolate chips which I suspect have all fallen right to the bottom.

And now it's time to make cheesecake for Kristina's birthday tomorrow. 🎂

A photo of a lake with a small bridge across a river in the distance, green grass everywhere, and blue skies. Trees line the lake at the left, and beyond is a shallow sloping grass-covered hill.

We actually got out of the house today (!!!) and went to Fagan Park. You couldn't have asked for better weather for it, and there was practically nobody there either. We took the full DSLR along too, I just need to process the photos before posting them.

Two round golden brown loaves of bread sitting on a cooling rack.

I made another batch of the 20% whole wheat bread, but did just 30 minutes in the oven with the lid on rather than adding the additional 15 minutes uncovered, as Kristina doesn't like the crunchier bread. Looks pretty glorious I reckon.

A photo taken of the front of our house. A large bay window sits to the right of the front door, with two trees and two lavender plants in blue pots in front of the window. Leading to the front door is a path with a cheerful blue planter box at the left with colourful flowering kalanchoes, with more in pots on the ground. Two large conifers in tall white pots are also at the left of the path.

Our front garden is looking nice and green and colourful!

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog sitting up on his haunches in the middle of the floor, next to a cupboard.

Beanie is VERY insistent that we get out of bed and pay attention to him.

A photo of two round dark brown loaves of bread sitting on a cooling rack.

I changed things up a little with my standard bread recipe this time, went with 200g of whole wheat flour instead of 100g, 790g of water rather than 780g, and just a smidge more yeast.

It came out really deliciously, though noticeably flatter than my usual loaves.
