If you’re feeling sinister

I first heard the album in the late 90’s and have been an occasional listener since then. I just downloaded and listened to it all at once. It is such a good album. I liked it back then and it sounds even better with age.

It (could've been) a colorful bread

I'm looking for ways to preserve natural colors. This time, the heat won out again.

It's my second attempt at baking bread with natural food colorings: beet powder, spinach powder, and turmeric + paprika. This time, I added a pinch of a crushed vitamin C tablet, but it didn't help.

The base is just a simple sandwich bread dough. I tried "laminating" the layers by brushing each one with softened butter while rolling and folding the dough. This wasn't a serious pastry-level laminating attempt, but getting greedy with the number of layers was still probably a mistake.

Because of the butter, this bread turned out so fluffy it can basically be inhaled :)
