despite a few rainy patches and a trip to the olympic peninsula for a hike on a snow covered ridge (snow? in july?!?), it’s really and finally full-blown summer time up here in washington.
hi friends! after a fun whirlwind trip through atascadero, santa cruz, vacaville, and maui (pics here), we’re back in seattle, missing our friends and family in california but happy to he home.
in my last moments of spring break, i finally, finally! documented this delicious, hearty whole wheat bread to share with you!
this month’s vegetarian times included a whole section on making a sourdough starter from scratch. it’s a 72-hour process in which every 12 hours, half of the starter gets discarded and replenished with more lukewarm water and flour.
i am feeling pretty darn homesick for california these days. i don’t know if it’s because i have more time to think while prepping for my last final (because two of my classes are DONE!!). or maybe it’s because we aren’t going back to california for spring break. or perhaps it’s because we’re missing two of our closest friends’ 30th bdays (happy birthday, jamie and tyler!!), and we’re also missing both of our dads’ birthdays (happy birthday, chuck and dad!).
