November 12, 2015 By Carole

Before this day gets any further away from me (why does unpacking and settling back in take so long?!?) I want to tell you my trip to Last Vegas with Jo-Ann and Doreen was fantastic.

From our first drink – beers at the airport in Boston.

frozen hot chocolate for carole knits

to our last – Frozen Hot Chocolate with peppermint schnapps at Serendipity 3 on the strip, it was non stop action and fun. I have more to come and lots to tell you but in the meantime I will just share with you the gist of my Facebook post from last night:

Vacations are wonderful. Vacations with best girlfriends in Las Vegas even more so. And yet, there’s no place like home. There’s nothing I enjoy more than sharing my stories, pictures and adventures with Dale. Especially when he’s rubbing my very tired feet.

    Welcome back! I must admit, I’m coveting that last concoction just a bit. Not enough to go to Vegas, but still coveting.

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
