Saturday

November 21, 2015 By Carole

saturday morning for carole knits

Ahhhhhhh. It’s Saturday morning. Dale has gone off to Plymouth for the day to march in the Thanksgiving Parade with his Civil War buddies and that means I’ve got the entire day to myself.

I have plans. Plans to go to Sephora, to Macy’s, to a local specialty shop. Plans to get some Christmas shopping done. And plans to make all the pie crust for the Thanksgiving pies.

And yet.

I’m sitting here with coffee and knitting and reading and I have absolutely no desire to go anywhere at all. There’d be no harm in it, really. All that stuff? It can wait.

What are you doing with your Saturday?

    I love days to myself, and they are even better when I don’t have to go any place. Coffee, knitting, and reading sounds just perfect!

    I too have plans. At the moment the roads are iced over and my plans appear to be staying home and knitting until they are not. Not a terrible turn of events, IMO.

    Ummmm. Is that a Dunkin’ Donuts mug you have there????? (Just wondering.)

    I’m just sitting here, watching the snow fall (still. . . ) and baking my gingerbread houses in preparation for next week. 🙂

    I’m having major envy! I’m knee deep in cornbread, chopping celery and onions for dressing next week. It must be done in stages to feed 31. Enjoy!

    Busy day, then in front of the TV for the Notre Dame-BC football game at Fenway. Not usually a football fan, but I am a legacy Notre Dame enthusiast.

    Saturday’s should be the day of doing as you wish. My Saturday was spent running, which was not my desire, but my necessity.

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
