Homemade pumpkin cinnamon rolls for Halloween week. The whole house smells like fall right now. 🎃

X just added subscriber group chats for small creators. I made one if you want to talk about cooking and garden stuff, or anything else that doesn’t make the main feed. xitter.cf/i/chat/group_join/g211…

Early morning smoke for some maple-glazed Ajitama. Update tomorrow.

Dough punch 🤜

Here is the recipe if anyone wants to bake them! Spiced Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls Dough:
3 1/2 cups bread flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp ginger, 1/8 tsp allspice, pinch of cloves (or 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice)
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 to 3/4 cup warm milk
1 large egg
4 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened Filling & Cream Pour:
4 Tbsp unsalted butter, very soft
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/3 to 1/2 cup warm heavy cream (to pour over the rolls after the second rise) Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Frosting:
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
2 Tbsp pumpkin puree
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon + pinch of nutmeg, allspice, and salt First Rise: Mix flour, sugar, salt, yeast, spices, pumpkin, 1/2 cup warm milk, and egg on low (Speed 1 to 2) for 1 to 2 min until shaggy. Add softened butter and knead on medium-low (Speed 3 to 4) for 8 to 10 min until smooth and passing the windowpane test. Cover in a greased bowl and let rise 1 hour until doubled. Second Rise: Mix the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a paste. Punch down the dough, roll into a 12x18 rectangle, and spread the paste evenly. Slice into 12 strips with a pizza cutter, roll each strip into a coil in a buttered pan, cover, and let rise 45 min until puffy. Warm Cream Pour, Bake & Frost: Pour the warm heavy cream evenly over the risen rolls and bake at 350F for 22 to 25 min. Start checking around 15 min and lightly tent with foil if browning too quickly. Beat the frosting ingredients until fluffy and spread over the warm rolls. I also put this recipe and more pumpkin fun inside my Pumpkin Spice Grok Bot:

Soy marinated eggs make a quick bowl of ramen feel like a restaurant meal.

Someone said the best way to use bots is to give them goals instead of tasks, so this morning I put my primary Grok Bot on voice mode and talked through my North Star goal and moral compass to share across all my other bots. Have you set values for your bots yet?

I think I'm going to make homemade pumpkin cinnamon rolls today. Should I go with classic cream cheese frosting or a warm maple glaze on top? 🎃🌀

Blue cheese and cauliflower soup with smoked quail eggs 👇 This flavor profile really, really intrigues me.
