Hi, have you met Chuck?

She (I think) likes talking loudly and being in the thick of skirmishes.

She dislikes being held.

It’s National Tea Day.

Might as well celebrate with some kombucha, wouldn’t you say!

This fermented sweet tea is tangy, addictive, and filled with goodness. If you haven’t jumped on the booch train you certainly should.

Making your own is incredibly easy it just takes a little time, but if you’re like me, you’ve got a Fermentation Situation and you love to take care of your ferments babies! 😂

Our chicklets are growing so fast! It’s so fun to watch but as they get more active they need more space, so we decided to give them some roosting bars for practice!

We used an oversized dog crate as a brooder. The plastic base makes it super easy to clean.

To make our bars, we just measured the width of the crate and subtracted the length of the eyelets. Then we cut a 1 1/2” dowel down, pre drilled some holes to make threading in the eyelets easier, and zip tied them to the crate.

The chicks are still getting used to them, but Fern was the first one to use one! I was sure Fern would be the first one up because she likes to be up high (on top the feeder or waterer)!

Apparently when you get a text from your husband that says “how much do you love me?” It means you’re baking brown sugar banana bread 🙈

Time to bake the sourdough we shaped the other day! This particular loaf has had a 2 day nap in the fridge.

First I flipped it out on to a parchment paper (which I reuse until it falls apart, btw, there’s no need to toss after one use).

Then I scored the dough deeply, this is made much easier because this dough is cold, straight from the fridge and my favorite sourdough is generally low hydration. (I don’t have a lame, I have never been able to find one locally, and cannot commit to buying one online for some reason! i am open to recommendations, though. But in the meantime I use a utility razor from a package I found in the garage and it works great.)

Then, and this is important, carefully transfer the bread using the parchment paper as a sling into the hot Dutch oven.

Bake covered at 450f for 30 minutes then another 5-10 minutes uncovered, until golden brown.

Cool on a wire mesh rack before slicing!

Check my link in bio for my favorite recipe.

Ps. I found that I love using my @meatermade gloves for sourdough baking, they are thin enough to keep my dexterity but definitely keep my hands cool, especially considering I’m baking at 450f!

It’s day 6 of being a chicken mama.

I’ve learned a lot, googled a lot, and spent an extraordinary amount of time walking to the garage to talk to these guys!

But can you blame me? Look at this little face and those chubby cheeks. You’d be out talking to them every 30 minutes too!!

It’s Sourdough Saturday!

I have honed my sourdough baking into a streamlined process! I usually make my dough once every 4 days and by proofing in the fridge I’m able to bake a fresh loaf pretty much every day of the week.
