Good morning tooters. Another sleep in for me today & while I’m still a little itchy, I slept quite well. The non drowsy Claratyne doesn’t stop me from sleeping, it actually helps as it aids in lessening the itch. I feel pretty well rested & as I have no major morning jobs I think I’ll take myself off for a walk once I’ve finished my brekky of omelette & coffee.
It’s currently 20c & will be reaching 27c today, so still fairly warm for this time of year but very nice. I fed my sourdough starter this morning as well & that means there will be fresh bread on the agenda by tomorrow or maybe the next day - fingers crossed 🤞🏼. I fed my kefir yesterday & that is still not fully awake either & should finish its ferment today.
Hope everyone has a great #Wednesday #HumpDay, stay safe out there 🌻. #Weather #ChickenDustMiteBites #Itchy 😖 #Exercise #Sourdough #Kefir

Hello Lovely Peeps! 👋

This is just the thing for a quiet Sunday morning - watching a man make sourdough bread by himself in his own micro bakery / homestead in the middle of the woods. 🌳 🍞 🌳

No refrigeration, no commercial yeast, only pre-industrial methods (beyond a mixer, because let's be real) - I found it interesting and soothing to watch the process from beginning to end. 😊

I had a very enjoyable day.

I stayed at home.
I didn’t even take Phoebe for her long walk today, the first time in nearly a month I’ve missed it!
I did make #sourdough bread.

I am really enjoying my new hobby.
I’m learning as much as I can about wild yeasts. Read a very good article, as a matter of fact, if you are interested.

I’m very sorry I don’t have access to my Great Grandma’s grapes anymore since they’d be an excellent source of wild yeast with a family tie.

Perhaps I’ll contact the new owners and ask for a bunch this fall, if they didn’t *gasp* cut down the vine.

Maybe I don’t want to ask.

Anyway, the sourdough loaves came out great and I’m sure my daughter will love hers.
