Happy Birthday, Dale!

June 26, 2013 By Carole

Today is my beloved husband Dale’s birthday and, in honor of that, I put together this little photo collage of some of my favorite pictures of him.

I think that collection captures him pretty well. He can be funny and silly, thoughtful and charming, sweet and romantic, playful and reflective – sometimes all in one day! –  and those are just some of the reasons why I love him.

And now I’m about to whisk him away on a little getaway to celebrate – not just his birthday but also our anniversary and the end of a particularly challenging school year for him. We’ll be back on Monday with stories and adventures but in the meantime, how about if you all show some birthday love to my guy? Thanks!

    Happy birthday Dale!! May the next year be full of great things! Did Carol tell you I keep trying to get you two to come to Louisiana (not in the summer, though!)? We have a big Civil War battle site (Port Hudson), but what I think you would really love is Jazz Fest–all kinds of music, good food, and wonderful people. Hope your birthday weekend is fabulous–you deserve it.

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
