I’ve always been a happy baker and cook, but I’ve realized that I tend to be not-so adventurous when it comes to trying new recipes. Granted, I bookmark and gather a bajillion recipes on a daily basis, but I only ever get to a fraction of them and then slowly forget about them as new ideas and recipes grab my attention. I don’t have the tenacity (or time) to cook my way through a cookbook a la Julie & Julia but I’ve always been great at crossing items of a to-do list, so lets see if this gets us any results.

- Sourdough bread
