I woke up this morning. The jukebox in my head was playing. First, it was Bobby Darin singing Splish, Splash, I was taking a bath. It was a good waker upper. Then he was singing Things, another good one that got me thinking of things I used to do.
It got me started thinking. What happened? Why did I stop? Why don’t I start doing them again? So this morning, I made 2 jars of fermented beets, using this recipe. I flavoured them with coriander seeds, ginger and orange rind. It takes a week. They look pretty, don’t you think?
Another thing I used to enjoy was making sourdough bread. It was quite an adventure for me, starting from scratch, making my own starter. Then somehow, I stopped but kept feeding Oscar, the starter for sourdough pancakes every Sunday. We had the pancakes this morning. Now, I am in the processing of making one loaf of sourdough bread.
I don’t know why I stopped. It is actually quite easy. I used the recipe on this site. It is a slow process. It won’t be ready to bake till Tuesday morning. The photo was after the first pull and fold. I have to do a few more tonight and let it sit covered tonight. Then I have to prep it tomorrow and let it sit in the fridge till Tuesday to bake. Here’s hoping for a fantastic loaf.

I LOVE soudough bread. I’ve never made it myself though. I would probably forget I was making it!
There’s danger of me forgetting, too! 😀
Keep going! You’ve got this. Wish you lived closer so I could have some sourdough bread. – XO
Thanks, Elisa. Closer would be nice.
While am not a fan of beets, I will aat some sourdough bread any time of the day! Mmmmm! Yum! Let us know how it turns out! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Paul.
Beets are truly the most beautiful shade of red? magenta? crimson? I don’t know, but they are beautiful. You had quite a busy Sunday Lily. If I lived closer, I would visit when the beets and the bread are ready for prime time and be your food critic. You would probably get 4 stars!
It would be lovely if you were closer, Karen I love to share. We had quite an abundance of beets this fall. I’ve given away quite a bit and still have lots.
