{a day to check in with a 9 yr old’s doings} It can’t all be wine and roses – or in the case of a 9 yr old, all milk and cookies… What does a day look like when she wakes up on the wrong side (of our) bed? The sass is strong with thisContinue reading “Duendesday!”

Happenings
A lot of what we do is routine – especially with the Bread deliveries, right now. Setting up for bread is a daily process with sourdough, then there is cracker day, pizza dough day, and then the day before baking where all the bread loaves are shaped (all of that is a lot of armContinue reading “Happenings”

She’s a big helper onContinue reading “Duendesday”

Recipe Thursday: Bread Book – Cheddar Bread Pudding
What to do with leftover bread? This is never a problem for us – we have many lovely uses. We cube and make croutons (just bake with olive oil, s&p, maybe herbs until crispy), we freeze for later for stuffings and bread puddings or even just Pappa al Pomodoroo (Tuscan tomato bread soup – freshContinue reading “Recipe Thursday: Bread Book – Cheddar Bread Pudding”
