baking bread and other creative outlets
Sometimes, when the creative horse runs into your corral, you’ve just got to strap on the saddle and kick the spurs. In the past 24+ hours, I redesigned the blog. Simplified it quite a bit too. I like it much better.
Another creative outlet in recent weeks has been learning how to bake bread. From scratch. I’ve made plain old white bread (I made a very tasty loaf with fresh thyme) and wheat bread (I made a honey wheat, but it turned out a bit dense so I need to work that recipe a bit more). Last weekend, I began a sourdough starter from King Arthur Flour and today, with lots of ripe starter, I baked my first two loaves of sourdough (in this case, a very sesame-heavy sourdough).
I’m very happy with the results. Photo below. Another part of the blog redesign/upgrade is moving all my photos. I’ve broken my Gallery application beyond repair, so hello Flickr. My first upload was sourdough loaves, and the remainder of my 818 photos will be moved soon.
And yes, I’ve been away from the blog too long. I feel that’s about to change.
Nice to see you back….and just so you know, bread is God’s food. I could live on it
