A photo of two slices of rustic-looking home-made bread sitting on a white dinner plate. On top of the bread are thick slices of cooked tomatoes, then sliced up mushrooms all dark and cooked, then crumbled sharp cheddar cheese on top of that.

A photo of a whole bunch of golden-brown miso chocolate chip cookies sitting on a cooling rack.

Well, that's certainly been a delicious five-day weekend so far! On Tuesday night I got some bread going, baked it on Wednesday and had mushrooms cooked in sage, rosemary, and garlic on it for lunch, and then this afternoon I made a big batch of miso chocolate chip cookies.

I definitely have to once again thank @[email protected] for getting me onto the book Flour Water Salt Yeast, if you have any interest whatsoever in making your own bread I cannot recommend it highly enough.

...and while looking that up, I just found he's got another book out that includes making milk breads and brioche, ooooh.

A photo of the starter that I think was called "atom". Assuming I have that correct, it's made from strained yoghurt, butter, and a bunch of garlic, and in this dish was served in seven flat slices and had a line of jam going down the middle of it.

A photo of the hummus, which was formed to have a bowl in the middle that had olive oil in it, and was sprinkled with macadamia at the right.

I actually don't know what this was, but it was delicious. It's a photo of a six round dollops of white... something, arranged in a circle, sitting in a bowl that has with some sort of red chilli sauce in the base of it, and the white something has a pile of red chopped up something on top of it.

The best bit about being across several teams at work is that I get to go to all the different team lunches. 😁

Today we went to Anason at Barangaroo, it's a Turkish restaurant and god damn was the food incredible. These photos are just three of the entrées that we shared, there were several others plus mains (all shared), then we went for gelato afterwards and I definitely do not need dinner tonight.

A photo of a bowl of ice cream, with Ice Magic, chopped up strawberries, and crushed peanuts on top.

At work for the past slightly under two weeks I've been drafted into getting the internal documentation for our new platform wrangled into a better state (where the current state is basically "it's been written by individual effort from a bunch of devs who've all been operating mostly independently and also the platform is changing almost week by week and nobody has had time to look at things with a customer-focused eye"). I'm pretty well known as The Documentation Guy and so bringing me in to help has been basically bringing in the big guns.

It's been really interesting and I'm learning lot, plus everyone is really nice and helpful and answers my endless questions, but man is it draining. So this is an extremely TGIF bowl of ice cream. One more week to go and then I have three weeks off and let me tell you I am very excited.

A photo of a big round table with the remnants of a bunch of food on it.

Aww yiss, yum cha with @[email protected] @[email protected] and @[email protected] (and another friend who isn't on the fedi anymore). 👌🏻

A photo of ten serves of my Mexican lentil rice in individual tupperware containers. It's got rice, lentils, black beans, corn, and green beans in it, and there's some tomato paste and one of the spices is smoked paprika so it has a reddish hue.

A photo of an open-faced cheese and tomato toastie on two slices of my home-made bread. The cheese is golden-brown and looks delicious, and on top of the cheese is a bunch of chopped up capsicum. The bread is sitting on a white dinner plate.

A photo of fifty-four small round miso chocolate chip cookies sitting on two cooling racks.

The deliciousness continued today with a batch of my Mexican lentil rice for weekday leftovers, a toastie for lunch on my bread from yesterday, and then finally miso chocolate chip cookies to have with my afternoon coffee!

A photo of two round golden brown loaves of bread dusted with flour sitting on a cooling rack.

A photo of an outdoor table with various foods on it: sliced up steak, sausages, and several varieties of salads.

A photo of a light brown Cocker Spaniel (I think? I forgot to ask) sitting on a low lounge and partially atop a cushion.

Today has been a day of deliciousness, it started with bread and then we went over to a friend's place for a barbecue and got to hang out with their dog. 🎉 Then we finished off the barbecue with cake (not pictured), and I am very full right now.

A photo of a small round cheesecake with berries on top of it, sitting in a shallow white bowl.

I am home! ::collapses in a heap::

Another uneventful day, though we got a piece of delicious cheesecake for our usual Friday afternoon sweet treat and it was pretty tops.

I also think I've realised why my sense of time post-COVID has been so wonky: it's because I'm primarily working from home now and not commuting in. This week has gone by so slowly, and it's felt so long (not in an "oh god kill me now" kind of way mind you), and yet when I'm WFH it absolutely whips by and suddenly it's the weekend, but I'm still mentally operating on the slower commuting-in-every-day state. I suspect if I had only ever primarily worked from home, this would be less of a thing.

A wide-angle photo taken out of the 29th floor of our office building, looking out and down. Directly in the front is a much older building, the Grace Building, in an art deco style, mostly surrounded by much taller modern office blocks made of glass. The sky is mostly overcast.

A photo of a three-section metal tray, the left has a roti canai which is a sort of fluffy balled-up pastry thing and a dollop of sambal sauce, and the other two sections have two different types of curry sauce in them.

A photo of a plate of mee goreng, with a slice of tomato, lime, and three slices of cucumber next to it.

Today itself was uneventful, but we caught up with an ex-coworker and went to Chatswood for Mamak and it was good as hell.

A photo of a bowl of laksa in a white takeaway container. It consists of thin noodles with a chilli coconut soup all over it, there are pieces of barbecue pork scattered throughout, and two big pieces of tofu on top.

Nothing major today, I even left work on time, but we did go to our favourite laksa place for lunch (Laksa King on Erskine St) and I'm happy to confirm that it's still excellent. 😎

I always forget just how slow the week passes when you're in the office every day though, I can't believe it's only Wednesday today.

A photo of the Sydney Opera House, behind it and partly obscured by the Opera House is the distinctive coathanger shape of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. There's some blue sky at the right but most of the sky is cloudy, though in a somewhat dramatic way rather than a bland and boring and flat way.

A photo of gulab jamun, an Indian dessert. It's a single brown round ball sitting in a little silver dish.

For day two, we went for a lovely (if rather windy) afternoon walk up to Circular Quay and around to Mrs Macquarie's Chair, then went for dinner at an Indian restaurant called The Grand Palace. 👌🏻

In related news, I am very full.
