Project Update #1

Since the start of the semester, I’ve made some decent progress on my project. Using a random number generator, I selected 10 cultures as the origins for the mythologies I’ll be reimagining. I also created TikTok and Instagram accounts to showcase the digital portfolio once it’s ready. After finalizing the cultures, I began narrowing down specific mythologies and decided to focus on the theme of love. It felt like the perfect choice since it branches into other universal themes like creation, death, perseverance and betrayal.

The research process has been extensive and more time-consuming than I anticipated. Some mythologies are less documented, making it challenging to find reliable sources. Beyond that, I’ve been going into the cultural and artistic traditions behind each mythology, as well as analyzing existing artwork inspired by these myths for comparison.

Another challenge has been deciding on the artistic direction. I want to honor each culture’s traditional styles while keeping the overall portfolio cohesive in design and aesthetics. It’s also been tricky choosing the medium for each piece, which one to do digitally or traditionally, since both approaches have their strengths and can express different aspects of the stories.

Currently, I’m in the sketching phase, though the research is ongoing and will likely continue throughout the project. While I’m slightly behind schedule, I feel confident that I can catch up. Overall, I’m excited to see how these myths and stories come to life visually in the coming weeks.

Alexandra Stafford's No-Knead Peasant Loaf (Alexandra's Kitchen)

4/5 - Very quick and easy no-knead recipe (the one you bake in a buttered Pyrex bowl). Springy crumb, not enough textural contrast in the crust vs. the crumb for me. Won't become my go-to, but a good option for those "oh dang, it's 4pm and I forgot to start the bread" days.

Ingredients

4 cups (512 g) unbleached all-purpose or bread flour

2 teaspoons (10 g) kosher salt

2 cups (454 g) lukewarm water (made by mixing 1.5 cups cold water with 0.5 cup boiling water)

2 teaspoons (8 g) sugar

2 teaspoons (8 g) instant yeast

room temperature butter, about 2 tablespoons

Instructions

Mixing the dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast (I love SAF Instant Yeast). Add the water. Mix until the flour is absorbed. (If you are using active dry yeast, see notes below.)

Let it rise. Cover bowl with a tea towel or plastic wrap and set aside in a warm spot to rise for at least an hour. (In the winter or if you are letting the bread rise in a cool place, it might take as long as two hours to rise.) This is how to create a slightly warm spot for your bread to rise in: Turn the oven on at any temperature (350ºF or so) for one minute, then turn it off. Note: Do not allow the oven to get up to 300ºF, for example, and then heat at that setting for 1 minute — this will be too hot. Just let the oven preheat for a total of 1 minute — it likely won’t get above 100ºF. The goal is to just create a slightly warm environment for the bread.

Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Grease two 1-qt or 1.5-qt oven-safe bowls (see notes below) with about a tablespoon of butter each. Using two forks, punch down your dough, scraping it from the sides of the bowl, which it will be clinging to. As you scrape it down try to pull the dough toward the center (see video below for guidance). You want to loosen the dough entirely from the sides of the bowl, and you want to make sure you’ve punched it down. Then, take your two forks and divide the dough into two equal portions — eye the center of the mass of dough, and starting from the center and working out, pull the dough apart with the two forks. Then scoop up each half and place into your prepared bowls. This part can be a little messy — the dough is very wet and will slip all over the place. Using small forks or forks with short tines makes this easier — my small salad forks work best; my dinner forks make it harder. It’s best to scoop it up fast and plop it in the bowl in one fell swoop. Some people like to use flexible, plastic dough scrapers for this step. 

Let the dough rise again for about 20 to 30 minutes on the countertop near the oven (or near a warm spot) or until it has risen to just below or above (depending on what size bowl you are using) the top of the bowls. (Note: Do not do the warm-oven trick for the second rise, and do not cover your bowls for the second rise. Simply set your bowls on top of your oven, so that they are in a warm spot. Twenty minutes in this spot usually is enough for my loaves.)

Bake it. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375º and bake for 15 to 17 minutes longer. Remove from the oven and turn the loaves onto cooling racks. If you’ve greased the bowls well, the loaves should fall right out onto the cooling racks. If the loaves look a little pale and soft when you’ve turned them out onto your cooling racks, place the loaves into the oven (outside of their bowls) and let them bake for about 5 minutes longer. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before cutting.

Every week it's art, cats, politics.

This one is much the same, as Arcane continues to hold us in its thrall; Sonic, Shadow, and Sonadow haven't left the list in weeks; Severance continues to bend our minds with its questions around personhood, and Yellowjackets is keeping it weird. The new stuff: F1 drivers are testing their cars to make sure they go fast, and Dan and Phil are back from their tour, and to their usual mischief. This is Tumblr's Week in Review.
