It’s a beautiful new week! I feel good today. I woke up feeling grateful and blessed this morning. My heart feels really light and I love that. We laughed so hard this weekend and just had the best family time. That is so cathartic. Laughter is so healing. It was really fun weekend. It just went by too fast.

My kids woke up in good moods today too, so that’s always a great start to the day. No one complained about anything and everyone got ready quickly. Gage still has an hour before school , but I love it when he gets up and moving on at his own pace.

I’m going to be dehydrating sourdough starter today, and lots of it. I’m restocking my space at the hardware store this week. It’s pretty easy to do. You just spread it thinly onto parchment paper and pop it in the dehydrator for 3 hours. I can layer up to 6 sheets at a time so that helps. It only comes with 10 grams in each bag, so I can make about 50 starters with one batch. The weighing and labeling is easy. Nothing to it. The real work is in bulking up and growing my starter beforehand.

I used to have almost a gallon of sourdough starter at any given time, but now I use it pretty quickly between this and making crackers for Gary for work (he’s obsessed) and the few people that buy bread from me weekly or bi-weekly (just a few neighbors and teachers at the school). It goes down fast. I go through a LOT of bread flour.

So that’s what I’m gonna be doing today!

I hope everyone has a great week! 🤍
