Back to Baking
…after a six week hiatus I’m back at Montgomery’s Inn
The break from baking after Christmas was nice but I’m happy to be back at the Inn with my baking friends. On Tuesday we filled the industrial mixer with four different doughs and left them to proof overnight in the fridge. The next day the wood burning oven was fired up. We had a new shipment of wood delivered to the inn that week but unfortunately it was a bit wet and getting the oven to temperature was a bit of a challenge but in the end we managed. Two more batches of sour dough bread were prepped that morning and then we kneaded and shaped six different breads for the oven.
Our lead baker, Dale made a wonderful tourtière for our lunch and I made a big green salad.
After lunch we removed the first batch of bread from the oven and then loaded the second batch. We bake about 30 to 40 loaves at a time.
Once all the breads are baked we turn it over to our sales staff to sell the bread at the Farmers’ Market that same day. All the profits go to fund community projects at the Inn.

Macro Monday at the Marina
…on a brisk but sunny winter afternoon
All these macros are close-ups of things you would find at a boat launch.
Silent Sunday – February 4, 2024
Gloomy, Windy, Chilly and Grey
…most of January
We haven’t had much of a winter so far this year. We had a bit of a cold snap but most of the month the temperatures sat above freezing and there was very little snow. Any snow that we did get only lasted a day and it was hardly worthwhile getting out the snow shovel. I’ve really missed the sun but the next three days look good.
The ongoing greyness really gets to you after awhile. It’s quite depressing and I had to force myself to get outside to go for a walk.
I’m really looking forward to the next three days. The temperatures during the day will continue to be above freezing for the next 10 days but after Tuesday the sun will disappear again for at least five days. Better get out and enjoy some rays before they hide behind the clouds again.
