I like Iron Rings and Doughnut Rings. @uwaterloo SoftEng & @GBCollege Pastry Arts. Will do anything for chocolate. Favourite tools: Rails, butter, more butter.

@jrodgers @singpolyma @flying_squirrel The uni degree gave me something to fall back on to actually make money…. Going to chef school at 30 vs 20 also meant more maturity, better perspective, less wanting to deal with the burnout side of hospitality. I think working + uni helped realise that

@alexkinsella Breithaupt Park — reminds me of wandering the bush behind my house growing up and the trails are nice and wide.

@jennavanklav We just put ours up late last year. I have hopes/vague plans of permanently added artwork to the outside, and possibly modifying so it can function as both LFL and gallery year round!

She knits for **hours** each day to keep up with case counts. Love a good knitting story, and stitches that document data.

Knitting is helping this Canadian in Italy make sense of the COVID-19 pandemic https://t.co/N4jsz4KdiV

@m_druker @CityofLdnOnt Same story in Cambridge (Galt) when I was there yesterday — paths along the river covered in ice and clearly well used. Grand Trunk access points full of cars and I doubt they do any maintenance there either.

Little lumpy but this isn’t even the worst batch of bread I’ve ever made

[Catherine M @cmittelholtz]

I missed the bakery baguette availability so tomorrow I get to go on the adventure of bread making with the last of my AP and a concoction of whole wheat/pastry flour. Fortunately I have backup bread for when this inevitably fails.

[Catherine M @cmittelholtz]

Happy Solstice!! Have a shortbread 🧚‍♀️ 🌞

I started and finished an entire book this weekend for the first time in.... forever? Much thanks to @nkjemisin for writing highly readable, enjoyable, un-put-downable words (tho clearly a reading weekend has done nothing for my adjective vocabulary)

Which local charities have Amazon wish lists set up that ship directly to the org? I have a few gift cards that I won’t use, but don’t want them to go to waste. I know @kwsphumane does; are there others?

[Catherine M @cmittelholtz]

I hear ya, Nan.

[Catherine M @cmittelholtz]

Treating myself to a very extra night alone featuring @MovieRebecca and @KWPublic takeout. Plus I’ve got @lenjobakes macarons for dessert. Just chills and trembles with the greatness of it all.

@jimmurphy “Make it taste better”... some bread to go along with the beer? 😉

Stanley, who likes to educate people about cryptocurrency on Facebook, just tried to ruin my park afternoon by attempting to be my friend but I refuse to let him crush the joy of the day. Also I’m really bad at calling people to instigate fake conversations.

I haven’t seen too many candy chutes in my usual midtown haunt but I took a walk to Central Frederick today and they are getting very creative in that regard. My favourite:

Nice night for hunting monsters in the Twilight Zoo @ Elora, Ontario https://t.co/AGVSXTpxuD

Day off means a trip to @KitchLibrary and the shiny new tech confused me. Now officially 80, when can we go back to writing our names on the card inside the book?

[Catherine M @cmittelholtz]

It’s been a long two years since my last @acornerbakery croissant and happy to taste they are as delicious as ever.

[Catherine M @cmittelholtz]

@acornerbakery The scene has really exploded since I left. There are two newer non-chain restaurants, sushi (!), and the next town over has a brewery. But no croissants.

[Catherine M @cmittelholtz]

Should I....move back home. It would be very millennial of me. https://t.co/qWnvkRnlfK
