Brings a few small celebrations!
Celebration One… Sherman’s ear is ON THE MEND! (it is not 100% yet… but we still have a few more days of drops and pills and we see the vet again on Friday so I am hopeful that he has turned a corner!)
Celebration TWO… The Starter… she has risen!! (Now, she has not doubled in size, but I live in hope that today she might!) I have begun looking for bread recipes… so if any of you have a favorite, I’d love if you’d share it!
Celebration Three… we will have no water for most of today, thanks to the water company doing some major repairs. This means Monday Laundry has been postponed until later this week! LOL
And there you have my Monday Celebrations. What about you? Are you celebrating anything this Monday?
See you all back here on Wednesday with some unraveling!
I’m glad to hear that Sherman is getting better and I guess you’ll have to work on your sweater since you can’t do laundry!
I pretty much love that you just cannot do laundry today. Isn’t that a lovely gift from public works?! A HUGE round of cheers for Sherman. And your starter reminded me of a friend’s sourdough during pandemic times. She made sourdough pretzels. We received one of her ‘practice’ batches, and they still had a ways to go. So I don’t have a recipe to pass along… But it’s kind of a fun idea.
Great celebrations – especially SHERMAN!!! I’m cheering your no-laundry day (as my second load is in the washer). I’m not a huge sour dough fan, so sorry no recipes to share. Hoping your Monday is filled with knitting and some quiet times. Enjoy!
I am celebrating a very quiet Monday morning with blog reading, knitting, and a lovely cup of tea.
Glad Sherman is on the mend.
My best sourdough advice is to get your hands on the book Tartine Bread. It’s full of great information and worked really well for me when I was just getting started before (ahem) the pandemic. I’m celebrating that this is a short work week, all day today and half a day tomorrow and I’m done!
Having no water is no fun, but I like your spin on it! So glad to hear Sherman is getting better.
no water? oh my! I am so thrilled to read that Sherman is getting better.
I’m so glad to hear that Sherman’s ear is getting better! What a great thing to celebrate! And YAY for your starter! I imagine you’re getting plenty of advice re: recipes. I really like my Bittman Bread book, but it’s a whole grain bread book, and I’m not sure that’s what you’re looking for. As for the water . . . well, that’s a bummer. And I’m afraid your laundry will wait. (Sigh.) Here’s to a good week! XO
I’m glad Sherman’s ear is improving. My hat is off to you and getting sourdough starter going. I like your spin on no water. There is nothing like a few or many hours without water to make me appreciate running water. As Bonny says, you may have to knit.
