Giving Thanks in November
Monday, November 16, 2009 at 08:25PM 
I have 4 loaves of Italian bread cooling on the kitchen counter. It's been a while since I've baked bread, but the weather is cool now, the house is buttoned up for winter and it seemed like the right time to start baking bread again.
I'm thankful that my new sourdough starter is working and that I had JUST enough flour to get the loaves kneaded and shaped.
Most of all, I'm thankful for my friend, Heidi, who coached me along last year when I first started playing around with sourdough after many sourdough-less years. Take a look at the beautiful loaves she makes! She's a true bread baking pro!

Mmmm. Fresh bread. I think that's one thing that would bring out the thankfulness in anyone!
Thanks, Kim! I love everything about bread- I'm not sure if I don't like making it even better than eating it- but it's a close call!
Glad to hear your starter is working out well!
I'm thankful for your friendship as well.
I could bring the soup and we could have a fine time....
Wish I could smell your kitchen :0)
Ooh, you give hope to this lapsed sourdough starter baker. I have hopes of returning again to those smells in my own kitchen. I'm trying to be patient in this season of life knowing that bread does rise again.
