Spontaneity Is A Good Thing

February 7, 2011 By Carole

Our Saturday plans including a lazy morning at home, a birthday party for our nephews in the afternoon, and a move in the evening.

We had our lazy morning at home and then headed to Dale’s brother’s house for the party.

There was lots of family there.

There was food and drink.

And more family photos.

And there was cake.

We had so much fun we wound up staying and staying.

We never did make it to the movies. But we didn’t even care.

    So glad you had a great time 🙂 Those unexpected good times with family, when you end up “staying and staying” are always the best!

    Impromptu parties are the best!! You can always see the movie later, and celebrating is more fun anyway!!!

    I love Hoodsie cups! They were a staple of my childhood and are great for portion control now.

    Family gatherings like that trump movies anyday! The movie will likely still be playing and if not, there is always the DVD, right? Looks like a great time. I wish we had family closer!

I’ve been baking sourdough bread for 10 months n I’ve been baking sourdough bread for 10 months now and I think I’m finally getting close to how I want the scoring to look. This loaf took about 24 hours from start to finish, it was sluggish at first so I waited patiently and adjusted my timeline. It rested in the banneton on the kitchen windowsill overnight and I baked it when I got up this morning. Oven spring was impressive, it’s got a good ear and a nice open crumb. It tastes good, too! #sourdoughbread #sourdoughbaking #lookatthatear #nicecrumb #ovenspring #homemadeisbest #breadforbreakfast #morningbaking #the100dayproject #100daysofiphonephotos
