I brought home some of the sour dough starter from the Inn. I thought I kept it on the counter too long but decided to try using it anyway. I baked it in the Dutch oven and made sure to preheat it before putting the loaf inside. I was very pleased with how much it rose in the oven and the crust and taste were wonderful.

This week’s theme is #storm. How appropriate. The snow just started at 8:00 this morning but it’s suppose to continue till midnight.

When the temperature is too cold for a walk or taking your gloves off to take a photo, the next best option is to look for objects around the house to zoom in on.

This puzzle took me only two days to complete but then there were only 550 pieces. I probably spent 2 to 3 hours each day with a few breaks in between. I think the coffee and sweets theme energized me. Now I should go back to a bigger one that I had started last year and never finished.
