It’s been a long Summer this year between continued health issues, the current state of affairs here in the US (and around the world), but it has also been a short Summer for the same reasons.
At this point, we are all just running on cortisol and caffeine.
I’m not quite ready to share anything with my health situation, but I have been maintaining my mental health like many people have since the pandemic—sourdough. Last year, I experimented with active yeast breads and rustic breads but, once I tried sourdough, I was hooked forever. I absolutely love the discipline and practice of the hobby. It feeds my friends and family (I rarely eat much of what I bake) and it feeds my soul. I love the science, and taste, of baking but the feeling of giving baked goods to friends is even more filling. I have even made two batches of dehydrated starter from my starter, Gwendoughlynn, and send her all over the country to friends and family to spread the gospel of sourdough. 😂 ❤️
Here’s a sample of my sourdough babies from this Summer.
