The staff of life ... also makes a good ham sammich

I have a bread recipe honed over the last couple of years. Makes really fine thick-cut breakfast toast. I look forward to waking up just to eat this stuff.

To quote a wise philosopher:

They're so light and fluffy white
We'll raise a fortune by tonight
They're so light and fluffy brown
They're the finest in the town

It's seriously NOT gluten-free, so you celiacs should just look away. In fact, you need to add gluten to get the protein cross-linking required to promote the fluffiness that floats my morning boat (in addition to high-protein King Arthur bread flour!). Sorry.

Even more feckin birds

Zip-tied my old GoPro to the shepherd's hook holding up the bird feeder, which allowed me to click pictures from my couch via bluetooth.

It was a cloudy day, so the shutter speed was slow, resulting in some blur for these fast-moving subjects. Also, there's a half-second lag 'twixt me clicking the screen button and the actual "click."

However, I think this technique going to bear fruit in coming sessions, because I can get some outrageous closeups. The birds don't seem to notice the little camera box six inches away.

About as close a look at our red-headed woodpecker as you'll ever get.

This guy doesn't spend a lot of time at the feeder; I think he's too 

heavy and can't get a firm grip on the perch.

A black-capped chickadee enjoys a seed. Once I get the hang of the 

GoPro for this application, I suspect I'll get better shots.
