Everyday Bread…kinda meh

Everyday Bread…kinda meh

Made the everyday bread today. Used the golden wheat and APF from KAF. Fresh jar of Red Star yeast, measured by weight. Whole milk, kosher salt (didn’t have any table salt), and salted butter (no unsalted in the house) everything else as the recipe says, including honey from our own apiary.

It rose beautifully and the crumb is lovely. But the flavor feels like it’s missing something.

I made a lunch meat sandwich and grilled cheese with it and the texture was beautiful but the bread was just there where I wanted it to add something to the bite.

Any thoughts on what I could amend to boost the flavor a bit? Should I add more salt? Would using table salt have been saltier? Something else?

Mocktails make a big difference

I just got back from a dry vacation. Usually a beach vacation entails coolers full of day drinks, wine out at dinner, etc. This trip I decided to grab some lemonade and a few bottles of blueberry lavender seltzer and mix mocktails. Mixed about 50/50, on the rocks, and I added blueberries or watermelon chunks if there was any around. It really satisfied my desire to have a flavored beverage with the added benefit of not being a sugar/calorie dense drink. A couple times I caught myself thinking “this would be good with booze” but reframed that thought with “this is already really good without booze” cause it was!

I know it’s not revolutionary but I wanted to share.

Ultralight Wallet

Of all the bags, clothes, and things I’ve sewn over the years, this little wallet gets the most use and the most comments. It’s perfect for moving the essentials between my purse, my bike bag, work bag, and pocket. I can tap the wallet to pay without having to take out my credit card, and keep an extra bit of cash on me for any cash only payments.

I love an easy, useful, scrap eating project.
