this funky looking thing is locally grown wheat natural yeast sourdough allowed to permeate for 3 days, then fried in a cast iron pot over a fire. finished with butter and sea salt flakes.
the crust, texture, and flavor is so good i would probably drive a long way to get one

strange days indeed.

In a time that breaks
in cutting pieces all around,
when men, voiceless
against thing-ridden men,
set themselves on fire, it seems
too difficult and rare
to think of the life of a man
grown whole in the world,
at peace and in place.
But having thought of it
I am beyond the time
I might have sold my hands
or sold my voice and mind
to the arguments of power
that go blind against
what they would destroy.

-- Wendell Berry

Wonder leaves room for what
exceeds our claimed understanding of a thing

a CIA method for political destabilization:

when a part of the population effectively resists your goals,
create a focal point for their anger. then organize a protest or rally event around this. at the event targeted agent groups push the event into extreme violence. media of the violence is captured and packaged into pre-prepared media packages. a large media push targets the original part of the population as “dangerous terrorists” and “enemies of the country”. Law enforcement is deployed to “bring the dangerous criminals to justice.”

this method effectively removes the pocket of resistance.

this method was used in Georgia, Ukraine, and other places. As well as in Washington DC with the January 6th event.

sometimes i wonder if the actual question asked at the final judgment will be, “did you love the people in front of you?”
