Finnish sourdough rye bread round 2!

Stages of rye bread making from dough rising to shaping into a pyramid, flattening to a circle, and baked!

First time mostly successful! My kiddo gave it an A+ and said it was as good as Moomi Mama's baking 😆

Two loaves of Finnish rye bread, which look like slightly misshapen rectanges

I got to indulge in some weird Finnish chocolate today thanks to our community Finnish School "S-Kioski" - imagine a soft crunch bar with very soft licorice filling inside with just a hint of saltiness. Perfection for a shame snack 😆

Karl Fazer "crunchy" chocolate bar with licorice filling. The packaging is black and gold with the call-out "black edition" and a lightning bolt

Hyvää joulua!

Peaceful tea lights in green glass goblets surrounded by berry garland, with paper snowflakes in the background.

I have my Halloween supply ready! Now to find out if anyone dares to trick or treat on my new street 🫣

Bags of flaming hot chips, normal chips, and a bowl of lollipops labeled "trick" "treat" and "sweet"

Rainbow cake success! The shock and awe from the kids when the first cut was revealed was immense!

Colorful cut piece of layer cake. Each layer is a different color in rainbow color order (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple)

A cake in the middle of being frosted with 6 layers each in a different rainbow color (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple)

@arose62 I hope so! This seems like a second big round of flowering, we have 2 pumpkins that are growing from earlier flowers.

A green pumpkin growing on a vine. It's maybe the size of a grapefruit.

Today I learned that pumpkin flowers only bloom for one day. Hopefully the buds I have now will cooperate and bloom on the day we are taking photos to list our house for sale! (And hopefully we find a buyer who wants to garden) #gardening

Taking a break to watch the bees in the garden. #bee #gardening

@enobacon I pulled the ' ` ' and " marks into a file to help with the comparison (edited to include the straight quotation mark too)

Happy bees in the #garden

The bike racks are overflowing today! #BikeBus #WalkAndRoll #BikeToSchool

A long row of kid bikes locked up in a covered bike parking area outside an elementary school.

My favorite feature in the backyard.
The bees love it too. #garden #bee

Clusters of white rhododendron flowers with tiny pink dots in the center of each flower. Fresh green new leaves grow between the flower clusters.

I ran out of space in the intro, so here's the acronym explanation: HCI means Human Computer Interaction. My career journey started with studying Computer Science, then discovering and pivoting into the field of HCI, getting my first full time job as an Interaction Designer, then as a User Experience Designer, and now I've pivoted again into Design Operations (DesignOps), which I describe as designing the designer experience.

#Introduction I am Saara Kamppari-Miller, and I am a #designer geeking. When I was studying #HCI in grad school I bought a Geek mug, and so when I needed a new online handle, this mug gave me inspiration. I am currently an Inclusive #DesignOps Program Manager in the Intel #Accessibility Office, meaning that I am helping UX teams adopt #InclusiveDesign practices. #Gardening is my favorite way to relax and get away from technology. I absolutely love living in a walkable and bikeable neighborhood.

Black mug with the definition of geek, noun. 1. Obsessive Computer User: someone who enjoys or takes pride in using computers or other technology, often to what others consider an excessive degree. 2. Someone with greater than normal computer skills.

My recently planted tulips and daffodils are still on their way out of the ground, but these two pink hyacinths are bringing joy #Gardening
