Pay me no mind….just been scrolling through seeing what everyone is whipping up. Since I see many welcome mentions of sourdough, thought I’d post a pic of granddaughter Katie with her first loaf of sourdough bread. 
Nice!
She did a good job on that one!<plop>

except when it counts, I tried baking a bread for my parents-in-law and of course it didn’t turn out well, it was so tough I could have killed somebody with it 
still don’t know what went wrong
Katie, BEAUTIFUL. Which Recipe did you use?<plop>

Happy anniversary!!!!!
Nice. I assume weight unknown because you released it?
Fine job, as is the case with all she does
Was that in the old house/trailer?
Thanks!! She has always loved to spend time with me in the kitchen, and she learns and retains things so well. Looking at some of the names in this thread, I’m sure some of you will remember that Katie is mildly Autistic, diagnosed at 18 months old. So we all do everything and anything to boost her confidence, self-esteem, and social skills. Cooking and baking helps tremendously.
She used a recipe from the Feasting website, a No Knead Sourdough bread. What she enjoyed the most was using the scale for measuring ingredients - she said it made her feel smart!
Yep, made in the old place where we were stepping on each other when we tried to cook together. Here in the new place, with that fancy 8 foot long center island, we can spread our stuff out and while she works at one side of the island, I can sit at the other and help, advise, supervise, or just admire her determination and growing skills! Let’s see, you’ve known Katie since she was about 8 years old…..she’s 16 now! Can you believe it??Fine job, as is the case with all she does
