THANK YOU

First of all, I just want to say, THANK YOU. 

You people have been instrumental in my strong bread game. So, go ahead -- pat yourselves on the back. 

When I started baking bread, I remember my first product resembled and tasted similar to a wet roll of paper towels. But I didn't give up! Fast forward a few years, with some more research, baking method adjustments and with divine guidance from P. Reinhart, I was able to produce some acceptable breads using commercial active dry yeast (JUL2010):

After scouring and perusing the plethora of wonderful posts and finding myself increasingly envious of the beautiful images of crumbs and crusts within this community,  I finally decided to purchase a dutch oven, hoping that it's the one thing I'm missing in my baking armory. So... my latest sourdough batch (SEP2015): 

Again, THANK YOU!
