Another fun-filled weekend... Thank you again, Sjadad and Ian, couldn't have done it without your help and inspiration!

Now we are talking about REAL pizzas...from my grill!

Thank you guys, Sjadad and Ian!!  

Now I can say I've made pizza!!!

Very delicious! Thank you for sharing, Ian!

My friends from the east coast are visiting with their family.  We last saw each other seven years ago and we're all excited about the reunion.  Our kids have grown so much since then, and we, the parents, are getting old...

My first rye loaf in four years...It's got to be special!

Record long bulk fermentation (10 days, I was extremely busy during that time) and final proof (24 hours ) were done in the fridge.  And this loaf turned out just fine... 

Portobello Mushroom Bread

A loaf made for my son...

About seven, eight years ago, I was busy tending a bread dough and did not meet my younger son's demand. He was in kindergarten then and just learned how to write. He  stuck this note on my bedroom door to protest being ignored. So I became the "Evil Mom".

I've kept the note on the door ever since...

French style milk loaf... If you prefer milk bread that's less fluffy, this one is for you.

French style  milk bread.  Chess table painted by my kids...

Have made an important decision about baking...

It rained...

 Hey, Stu, here you go...

  I love spring, the flowers are blooming in the garden... 

I feel so lucky that I can eat regular bread because the gluten-free breads on the market are so expensive! I hope those of you who suffer from gluten intolerance don't ever have to be ripped off again - you can make your own delicious gluten-free sourdough bread!

Only used raisin yeast water for hydration of the dough.  Soon this whole jar of YW would be gone...
