I tried making sourdough from scratch last weekend and honestly it was way more complicated than I expected. I started with just flour and water and somehow ended up with this bubbly mess on my counter that I was supposed to feed every single day. I named my starter something silly just to make it fun but then I forgot about it for two days and it developed this weird pinkish hue on top. I had to throw it all out Ij7jusK4q94DuR and start over. The second attempt went much better though. I managed to keep it alive for a whole week and actually baked a loaf that didn't resemble a brick. The crust was crunchy and the inside had those nice airy pockets you see in bakery bread. I brought some to my neighbor and they asked if I bought it from the farmers market which felt like the highest compliment. I might try adding olives or rosemary next time. The whole process taught me a lot about patience and paying attention to small details. I also learned that temperature really affects how the dough rises and that a cold kitchen can slow everything down significantly.

I finally watched that documentary about marine ecosystems that everyone has been recommending. It was filmed over three years in various coastal locations around the world. The footage of bioluminescent plankton was absolutely stunning. I had no idea that certain species of jellyfish could reverse their aging process when stressed. The section about seagrass meadows was surprisingly interesting. They absorb carbon way faster than rainforests do on a per acre basis. I learned that sea otters help maintain kelp forests by eating sea urchins that would otherwise destroy the underwater canopy. The whole thing made me want to visit the Pacific Northwest coast this summer. A friend of mine went tide pooling last year and found a giant Pacific octopus in a shallow cave. Apparently they are incredibly intelligent and can solve puzzles. I might sign up for a coastal cleanup event this spring just to do something productive. The documentary really shifted how I think about what is happening beneath the surface. It also made me more mindful about the choices I make every day.
