the first (very flat) loaf of sourdough bread was made with the starter from Sharon yesterday. i couldn't wait so i went ahead without jana. also i was making a special dinner, baking other things like a squash, yam, salmon, and a pumpkin pie, so i wanted to cook the bread at the same time. it all went really well and we had a nice dinner. the bottle of plum mead i helped make last year was enjoyed. we got to share the celebration of the bread and sing happy birthday for jana with a few friends. the pie, a collaboration between jana and i, turned out to be very good without any sugar. just a little very sweet applesauce. jana 'whipped' the cream in a mason jar for her first time. she was so stoked she would have turned it to butter if i hadn't stopped her. we used three of the hazelnuts i harvested on orcas island as agitators and ate them after. quite mediocre. you can see the grain mill attachment on the kitchen aid mixer in one of these pictures.
