It may not be spring yet but I truly believe that if I bake enough spring-like foods maybe, just maybe, I can coax Mother Nature along a bit.

It’s time to retrain my taste buds away from sweet. I’ve realized it’s all that I taste most of the time.
I like chocolate, I like cake, milk (it’s sweet!) and pasta and fruit and bread and…all the foods I eat these days fall into the sweet category.
What a great weekend! Bright, sunny skies, warm air, everyone outside to enjoy the blooming lilac trees…it feels like Spring has finally sprung! After a beautiful weekend like this, you would think I’d turn to something festive, like summer barbeque and cold beers for supper.
You can research, study, find information online and in books, ask friends who have been there. You can take all that information, process it, and formulate your own absolute bread truth. You think you know exactly what you are meant to do. What it should look like, smell like, act like.
Isn’t she a beauty.
After a failed attempted last fall to cultivate a starter culture for leavening bread, I was disappointed but definitely not put off.
Oh what a sad, sad day this is. All that talk, all that planning, all that WORK. And the result? Bubbling, buttery disaster.
I should have known it wouldn’t work out. Right from the beginning the dough wasn’t coming together as it should.
Maybe competition is the wrong word. I mean, can I really compete with Tim Horton’s? Their top notch donuts, chewy bagels, their quintessential Canadian-ness? A port in any road-trip storm?
I’m going to make a bold statement here, so I hope you’re sitting down:
Yes. I. Can.
