The Holly And The Ivy

December 24, 2009 By Carole

holly and the ivy

It’s Eye Candy Friday on Thursday, my friends.

Today I will be cooking and prepping for a house full of family and friends tonight, Christmas Eve. Tomorrow we’ll open gifts with our children and then go to Dale’s brother’s house for Christmas dinner.  On Saturday, I may not even get out of my pajamas!

Merry Christmas to all!

    This is the most stunning photo of holly and ivy that I have seen! I am particularly taken with this combination of plants as my name is Holly and I named my daughter Ivy.
    Thanks for the great blog and Happy Holidays

I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 year I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 years now (I started before the pandemic, ironically enough) and this might just be one of my best loaves. The dough was sluggish yesterday and not ready to be proofed when I went to bed so I stuck the plastic bucket in the fridge and hoped for the best. Turns out the overnight bulk fermentation resulted in a beautiful, bouncy dough. I can’t wait to cut into it and check out the crumb but it’s still cooling down. #sourdoughbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest #breadbaker
