true crime is rotting our brains: i was a mfm girlie from like….2016-2019ish? maybe? fell off the true crime podcast wave many many years ago and some of the thoughts about it as a genre coming up recently definitely ring true. also read the same author's thing about how she got stabbed.
watching
last two the vampire lestat episodes and behind the scenes stuff as well. not gonna lie gang, i don't think it's good! i enjoyed the season in a junk food kind of way but i do not anticipate paying for amc+ when the next season comes out like i did for this one. the music was fun and good but besides that it was not nearly as strong or compelling as iwtv was.

GREAT sourdough loaf success. however it's a little flat on top because i don't have a dutch oven so i put a baking tray over the top of the loaf as directed for the first bit of baking and it. well. did continue to rise. and just pressed up against the baking tray lol. but it's delicious so i'm happy
