great now i gotta be responsible for this goop
(this feels like a very retro throwback 2020 thing to do BUT i was in covid isolation for about ten days and so i've been following theperfectloaf.com's guide to making a starter from scratch. have i actually baked a loaf yet? no. but i do have a science project)

I'm really going to get a reputation on here for this sourdough thing. I swear it hasn't been as all consuming as it seems. But my undergrad mentor gave me some of her sourdough starter when I wanted to get into it (which was so nice) and then I made sourdough focaccia for a year or so because I didn't have time and energy to learn the real thing.
So now, post-grad, I'm sending her photos of the loaf she helped create, and she excitedly was like that looks beautiful, mine haven't been going so well, send your recipe.
But I got the recipe from my cousin after also giving her some starter, so the whole thing has created this fun little chain of interactions. So I asked my cousin to send the recipe but started writing up what I remembered doing anyways as well. And then I got the idea to format it like the protocols my mentor and I had used and I'm going to send it to her like that (probably also with the link because I have made one loaf really).
tldr: My research mentor gave me sourdough starter a year ago and now I'm giving her a formatted protocol of a sourdough recipe because I'm a nerd and I like it.

something cool about Pittsburgh is that pierogis are a staple food. my deli keeps them in the reach in at eye level and so I always end up buying a pack of them frozen. today i was tired and didn't want to cook but also the idea of Uber Eats-ing something was really depressing so i softened some scallions and green garlic in my wok and then let the pierogis brown on either side for like 6 minutes in the hot oil. then i made a dipping sauce with a scoop of creme fraiche and kewpie and a ton of chopped up herbs. when the rogis were done i sauteed several handfuls of spinach in the wok. don't feel bad about calories or carbs because you are also eating spinach ok. make a lazy pierogi dinner today

treat your lips the same way you would treat the rest of the skin on your face! put a small amount of moisturizer on em after washing. i like to use something super gentle like an eye cream but whatever you have on hand will work.
THEN, before you go out, apply the lip balm of your choice. the balm is meant to be a protective layer between your skin and the dry air. if you put lip balm on top of already dry lips it's pretty much useless bc the skin can't absorb it, which sometimes makes the problem worse.
ok stay soft
