Baking

I’m not the best, but I do a lot of baking when I can find people to help me eat the goodies.

First batch of croissants in Sunnyvale.

(unbaked) Decent crumb from the my first batch of croissants in Sunnyvale.

Nine great bagels and one slightly burnt bagel.

Sourdough bread, not the best scoring, but still looks nice.

Lava cake that I started eating before remembering the picture.

Probably the best one I've ever made.

Photogenic cookie.

Pile of giant cookies.

Several croissants. Looks good in the lighting.

(unbaked) Blueberry pie. Can't find the baked picture.

A nice boule I made with actually decent scoring for once.

Crumb shot of the boule.

Video games

Especially enjoy a challenge and a good story. Dark Souls, Return of the Obra Dinn, and Outer Wilds are some recent(ish) favorites of mine.
