On Monday, we celebrated a family member’s important birthday by fattening her up and eating her.
Our sourdough strain turned 25 years old on Monday. We celebrated with sourdough pancakes topped with a friend’s homemade crabapple butter!

Five days ago I made “seed burritos.” I wasn’t actually that hungry, I was checking to see how the seeds I saved from my garden would germinate.
The process was simple. I wet a section of paper towel, placed 10 seeds on it, wrapped it up like a burrito and placed it in a plastic bag. I labeled the bag with the seed type (note to self, add the date next time!). I didn’t seal the bag all the way, and placed it in a warm place. Then I waited. I checked them every couple days or so. Some seed varieties take longer than others, so I knew to be patient.
