baking history

"Always start out with a larger pot than what you think you need."
— Julia Child

 I love cooking...or maybe I love eating, and so by default I have a passion for cooking.

I never cooked much when I was growing up, but in the last couple of years I have 

begun going straight to the recipe book aisles in the bookstore. 

[I was tempted to buy one on my kindle the other day, but my cook books always end up so covered in 

flour and juices and things that I felt immediately protective over my bright white kindle]

On Sunday, I baked my first sourdough bread, a labor of about 48 hours of love 

and derrived from a 250 year old starter no less...

while my loaf of yeasty history rose in the oven 

I breathed a flour-covered sigh of relief 

and discovered I had a new appreciation for that lemon poppyseed bread I had made that morning

in a matter thirty minutes from a William-Sonoma mix.

Currently, this Taco Soup recipe is cooking at home in our slow cooker

ready upon our arrival home from work. Can't wait to taste it. 

[also really excited to eat dinner with husband tonight - 

he finished one of his work projects yesterday which means Luz and I get to have him all to ourselves tonight at dinner!]
