my first sourdough bread babies!

Thanks to my friend Wendy, who gave me my first starter, I was able to bake my first sourdough breads this week! Woohooo!! It’s quite a simple process, but just takes a lot of time and care! I’m following the Hearth Sourdough recipe from Josey the Baker’s book. I’m hoping I can make a chocolate sourdough next!

Dinner at Stanley's

If Zach and Melissa were to ever open a restaurant, they would name it after Zach's grandfather and future pug, Stanley. Tonight, I enjoyed a homemade meal by Chef Zach in the Lincks abode. Chef Zach made ramen!! Cho oishii! 

I am so thankful and blessed to have Zach and Melissa in my life. Not only do they feed me delicious food, but they open up their home and their lives to me so we can live life together. Praise God for their generosity, love and humor. :) 

1 Corinthians 3:7-9

So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God's service, you are God's field, God's building.
