Hey, I finally got around to trying that sourdough starter recipe you sent me last month. I fed it for about ten days and it started bubbling pretty nicely around day six. The first loaf I attempted came out a little flat honestly, but the crust had a really good chew and the flavor was there. I think I just needed to let it proof a bit longer in a warmer spot. My kitchen runs cool so next time I'll try putting it inside the oven with just the light on. My family ate the whole thing anyway so that felt like a win. I'm already planning to bake another one this weekend and maybe add some rosemary and sea salt on top. Anyway thanks again for the tip about using filtered water instead of tap. That definitely made a difference. Let me know if you've experimented with any other add-ins lately. I'd love to hear what worked for you.

You know that little calico cat from two doors down has been showing up on my porch every evening around sunset. She just sits there on the welcome mat and stares through the glass door until I come out and say hello. Last night she brought a dried leaf and dropped it at my feet like a gift. I've been giving her a little bowl of water but no food because I don't want to overstep with the neighbors. They mentioned she's an indoor-outdoor cat so I guess she just likes visiting. My kids are obsessed with her and they named her Pebbles. Anyway it's become a sweet little routine and I don't mind one bit. She usually stays about fifteen minutes and then wanders off down the street. I never thought I'd be the person who looks forward to a cat visitation schedule but here we are. If your neighborhood has a similar regular visitor you'll understand completely. k2K2eWWhHp5x
