Think Write Thursday

July 13, 2017 By Carole

The Think Write Thursday topic is to write about 3 good things that happened this week.

  1. We picked our first summer squash of the season. I steamed it last night and served it with some grilled chicken and it was delicious and fresh and perfect.
  2. I attended a work meeting that included a very frank, open and honest discussion about management styles, rumors and gossip, and ways to build trust. I didn’t expect this discussion to happen but it resulted in some great team building among my peers and I’m grateful for the opportunity to see some of them in a whole new light.
  3. I finished #The100DayProject! Yes, indeed, I took one hundred one second videos from April 3rd through July 12th. It was fun and I definitely learned a lot about how long a second actually is and how to (slightly) improve my video taking skills. There are quite a few things I’d do over with those videos given the chance but it’s still a pretty nifty look back on the last 100 days. I haven’t decided yet whether I will continue doing this but I just might. I also haven’t figured out a way to share it here because the video exceeds the size of a file I can upload. Damn. You can see it on instagram, though, if you’re so inclined.

What good things happened for you this week? If you wrote a post for today’s topic please include your link below so that we can all come and read it. And if you’d like to receive the Think Write Thursday topic in your inbox each week (usually by Monday afternoon) then click here to sign up.

    We have been overwhelmed by squash (Smith planted 3 different style of squash!) and a few friends have been willing to take the extra. The season is just beginning so you’ll have loads more to enjoy. The 1 Sec video was a really fun to watch. Good work!!

    Your squash are just beautiful, especially against their bright green leaves. And honesty … well that’s a very good thing!

    Let’s see. #1. No squash overrunning my life! #2. Having fun teaching my nieces about cooking. #3. Happily watching same nieces be excited about dinner & new foods since they helped cook. Yep, a pretty good week.

    Hooray for three great things!

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
