Geraldine McIntosh posted a blog postBaking: Sourdough Bread
Greetings! Remember back when I told you all about my final attempt at making a sourdough starter? I never reported back about my progress...mostly because that attempt, like all the others, was a sad, sad failure. Still, a few failures have never stopped a girl from trying. So a few months later, I tried again and now I have a healthy whole-wheat sourdough starter. Today, I baked my first loaf of sourdough bread. Now that I've discovered how easy it…See More

Geraldine McIntosh commented on Christine's blog post 'apple pie with a cheddar crust'"Beautiful pie! I'm ashamed to say that I've never had apple pie with a slice of cheddar cheese, but I've heard so many great things it must be good. Your crust turned out great! I made an apple pie for the first time…"

A couple of weeks ago I bought 1.5 lbs of Music garlic - that translates to roughly 90 cloves. Since then, I've been waiting for the wacky fall weather to coordinate some sun with my days off. Today was beautiful - cool but sunny - perfect garlic…See More

By the way, your sourdough starter sounds AMAZING. I love the smell of warm baked bread in the winter.
