    I do a lot of gardening and cooking.

    Sourdough bread is probably my favorite because it still blows my mind that flour, water, and salt are the only inputs and can deliver a loaf I could sell for $8-10. Literally some of the best bread I’ve ever eaten, and there is no reason it should even work.

    Gardening is sometimes magical and sometimes tragically frustrating.

    Yoga I value because it keeps my body and mind in good shape.

        The website The Perfect Loaf has been a big help. His recipes look funny but it is because he’s using bakers %, you don’t need to be that precise.

        The book Tartine Bread also helped me get better at making bread.

        If you have a robust starter, sourdough is so much easier and more forgiving than a dough made with commercial yeast.
