Redemption

Victory is mine. My honor and dignity are restored, and I once again have the means of excellent breakfasts at my disposal.

Today my sourdough starter was benevolent

I spent the week feeding my starter religiously, determined to make up for ignoring it in refrigerator. I also baked some yeast breads, to prove to myself that I could still produce edible foods.

My confidence thus restored, and my starter thus appeased, I spent Saturday preparing a new loaf, and was rewarded.

If there is a better snack than warm, freshly baked sourdough with blueberry jam, I have yet to discover it.

On the crafting front, my knitting has been neglected this week. Even though I know it’s February, and we have weeks and weeks of cold still ahead, I am distracted by thoughts of spring.

Cross-stitch project in progress

The violets may not be sprouting up outside just yet, but at least I can stitch a few for myself.
