Mr. Gordon has been working on a batch of sour dough bread. Yesterday, he baked a couple of loaves to accompany some soup.
Now, I’m not sure if he’s going to post up about his experience or recipe soon, but I wanted to give you a sneak peek. Nice and dense and tangy – perfect with the veggie and venison soup (made spicy with homegrown Joe’s Long Cayenne Peppers) we had for supper last night.
The first piece was tested fairly fresh from the oven, still warm and loaded with butter. Oh, that was very nice.
Second piece with the soup. Yes, very good.
Third piece… sampled when I was curled up on the couch later. Satisfying.
Hmm, this could be dangerous. π
One more note…
Yesterday we had our first real snow of the season! Yay!

Check out my growing “Digging It” page for a couple of new things I’ve posted: cat gloves and a cookbook that I’ve read, but never used as a recipe resource. (New “dig its” always at page top.)
Thinking About Gifts for My Baker
Now these are interesting. I wonder if Mr. Gordon would like one for Christmas? Hmm. π

That loaf of bread looks perfect! It’s cooked perfectly and sounds very, very yummy! And I say yes to the bread proofing baskets for Mr. Gordon!
How’s the affiliate program going so far? I’m still on the fence about renewing mine. Maybe once the book group gets up and running….
Hi Kristin – I love the fact that Mr. Gordon is a baking machine when the mood hits him. π
We’ll see how the Amazon pans out long-term. For me, I look at it like this: costs me nothing and if it provides some income – no matter what amount – it can always go to paying for this website (at a minimum).
I had actually taken your advice in a comment you made on one of your blog posts in reply to mine: pick out what I liked and avoid what I don’t like. I can’t stand the Google ad pop-ups and videos, and I decided this was the least intrusive. Plus, I get to pick the items advertised, which makes me more comfortable. Hopefully with the holiday season coming and more people shopping, there will be some activity!
I’m an optimist! π
Thatβs a good way of looking at things! I should take my own advice sometimes π
Keep us posted on how the affiliate program works for you!
