We finally have a volcano!
We're slowly but surely changing over to a healthier whole foods diet here at Dough Ray Me Cakery. After several attempts and lots of research (to figure out what I was doing wrong) I have finally succeeded with a sourdough starter. And it really is an easy process once you have all the info.
Why 2 jars? I'm doing an experiment (that actually started when I thought I had lost the larger jar). My experiment comes on the heels of an online class with . Thanks Melissa!
Will a smaller amount of starter be sweeter? Idk, but I've made some pretty delicious baked goods with the discard (from both jars). Lisa Bass over on has an awesome collection of sourdough starter and discard recipes. Thank you, Lisa , for your info!
I'm looking forward to some yummy sourdough bread soon! How about you?

As many of you now know, we have moved to Arkansas ( a really long way from family!), and the rules have changed... Apparently, I'm relearning how to do the simplest of tasks (like putting the covering the opening on the food processor.) 🤣🤣🤣

At the same time time, I'm learning new recipes like sourdough from scratch, handmade toaster pastries (using the sourdough...DELICIOUS!), and making my own yogurt (talk about saving money!)

And then there's the upcoming celebration of our country's birthday. Here in Heber Springs, which apparently swells by the tens of thousands for July 4th, there are already A LOT of decorations going up. These are a few of our whimsical decorations for this year.

Happy July 4th and be safe Everyone!

Our first charcuterie in our new home. Bonus points for making it teenager-friendly!
This is a great idea for nothing while unpacking boxes.
