The white loaf is a sourdough dough I prepared on Wednesday while working from home. I wanted to see if I kept a sourdough in the fridge for 4 days would it still bake up well.
In 1904, Sir William Osler, one of the greatest physicians of his time, was asked to address the graduating class of The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine on the topic, “What is the most important personal attribute for a physician to cultivate in himself?” Sir William's address was entitled “Aequanimitas,” which roughly translates into modern American English as “Chill, dude!” I have always tried to follow Sir William's wise advice.

I received an email several weeks ago about this contest to come up with original recipes with sweet potatoes as the main ingredients. While I grew up in a country where sweet potatoes were more commonly used than regular potatoes in cooking, the contest prompted me to experiment in baking with sweet potatoes. Whether I win or lose, I have come up with several definite keepers. I came up with 5 recipes (recipes should be easy, and quick enough to make it to mealtime and be a part of daily meals). There was no limit to the number of recipes to submit.
I don't know if it's my love for bread baking or my new camera that keeps me in the kitchen, but here's another attempt I just completed tonight.

She says people can copy her recipes but she'd appreciate it if they would include a link to her web site. So my thanks to Lory for sharing. She's got over a hundred recipes there - goes to show what a dedicated wife
It has rained for 4 days now. We are all stir crazy, so we made pizza. The kids did their own toppings. This one was just pepperoni. As they say in the papers, " A good time was had by all" .
