Can you see it? Can you see it? At nine and a half months, complete with drooly, rashy face, our biggest beast is cutting his first tooth. There is more than a little grief about the impending loss of his gummy grin, but we are excited to see what toothiness will do to his eating style…
And in baking news… I am back on the horse and getting the hang of sourdough. After a couple of shaky moments making the starter, I finally made a 100% sourdough loaf that rose beautifully. No commercial yeast added. Today - sourdough muffins. Tomorrow - I’m thinking sourdough pancakes. It’s very addictive setting out the sponge to proof overnight and seeing it all bubbly and risen and yoghurty smelling in the morning. I feel very protective of my ‘mother starter’. It’s my new little pet who happens to live in the fridge.
congrats Loey for cutting your first!! Hey what do we have to do to get us some of that lovely bread?? We have on offer some home made olive oil soap and some home made quince paste!!

how exciting - i hope the tooth hasn’t been too painful. that bread looks amazing. i am terrified of any foodstuff that involves live culture but that bread looks irresistable.

Please, please, please blog more about sourdough! I have tried over and over again to make it work and it just never gets quiet right. I need an internet sourdough support group. Help!
Also that tooth is tiny and cute.
