The dishwasher felt like neglected while I repaired the washer and dryer so it decided to stop today. I thought it was a bad switch but it looks like I'm going to need to replace the controller board #ApplianceRepairAnother swarm catch today but they decided not to stay 😢 #BeeSwarmThe pizza oven works. We need to practice getting the right temp for pizzas and get a few more tools to make cooking easier but it made good pizza. Looking forward to baking bread in there soon. #EarthOvenIt was warm enough this weekend to get some work done in the earth oven. It's now finished and the outer layer is curing. We plan to fire it up in 2-3 days. Can't wait!!!Hadn't posted any sourdough in a while and this loaf looked photogenicCategories

Sourdough

Making Vegan Challah (First Try)
I’ve been baking breads for several years now, but still remember the confusion of getting started. So many recipes said things like “Add water 1 TBSP at a time until reaching the right consistency” or “Let rise until the dough … Continue reading
English Muffins (part 2)
The first batch of English Muffins were made with a batter that I poured into rings on the griddle. This worked ok but didn’t seem to give the right texture or consistency. I’ve tried a couple of other recipes since … Continue reading
Breakfast "Snausage"
