Evolution of the Sourdough

Sourdough is, I am convinced, mostly made by magic. 

You need to care for it. Feed it.  

Astonishing it's just flour, water and (most importantly) time and patience.

And alright, a bit of salt and a lot of heat at the end. 

It has been a very zen thing to create. 

It actually feels like real creation. From simple things, I have made another thing. 

And it has combined to absolute freaking yeasty perfection and I am a very smug baker. 

Sourdough starter made as per River Cottage instructions. Baked according to the Yumblog.co.uk method. Eaten mostly by me. Nomnomnom. 

Midweek Dilys Update

Sourdough starter status: Frisky :D 

Things Achieved This Weekend

Aaah, a weekend of productivity! Excellent stuff, if you ask me. 

This weekend, I have: 

1) Made a good start of my medical education course. 1 task and the assignment to go for this module. 

2) Changed the beds.

3) Run my fastest 5K this year.

4) Mined the Laundry Heap and paired all the socks. 

5) Created Dilys, the Sourdough Starter... 

6) Hoovered EVERYTHING

7) Defragged the fridge

8) Made my first custard :) 

9) Made significant advances as Guardian H'minee of the Caretakers* with my mind worm army

10) Completely failed to do anything with my new fabrics

11) Nearly got to the bottom of the washing pile

12) Generally been a domestic Goddess. 

I shall count all of this as a WIN.
