Thanks for the link! 🦋💕

I was gifted sourdough starter during Covid, too. I think it was a global community sanity preserver. It was also popular when I was young. A good friend who was an avid bread baker gave me some starter and a recipe for an Amish friendship cake using it. It was like a chain letter, everyone in our small town seemed to end up with a portion from that starter and the recipe. 😆

I used to make a whole wheat loaf that used very little yeast and rose overnight. It was low maintenance-my favorite kind!

From what you have mentioned before you are super busy. It’s nice you have someone to help out and ease your burden. Cooking and laundry are the never ending chores…

Oh wow! That's super cool!! Sourdough is probably the most healthy bread you can eat - you may as well make it yourself if you are having it often enough.

I actually have a live-in only bc my parents spend a lot of time here and when they are in town, I need someone to take care of them while I am at work. Otherwise I would just get by with part-time help and eating at my club more. My last helper got bouts of depression when I left her home alone for too long - I ended up having to send her home to Manila 3-4x a year whenever I traveled.😅

“”you may as well make it yourself if you are having it often enough.”

We eat bread in spurts. We may go weeks without using much. I’ll have a slice of cinnamon swirl toast at night for something sweet but keep it in the freezer or it would go bad. We always laugh when snow is headed our way because the bread shelves and milk coolers will be nearly empty. What are people doing with all that bread and milk? 😆

Your parents are lucky to have a daughter who cares for them so well. 💖
