Sourdough starter & a few other tid bits 🍞

 





Good Saturday Morning .

I find that I am posting more now that I have switched

my schedule up a bit. Sometimes you just have to try new things.

And by that I do not just mean food or clothing styles.

Sometimes your life is just made better by a simple

routine change.

Summer has a way of doing that in a way no other time of year does.

You have more flexibility with your day.



Two years ago(ish) - I have lost all track of time ....

I fell twice. Once I ripped my knee and the second fall a month or so later 

I broke a rib. So I became leery of doing anything that would make me fall again.

Running, biking etc...

Yesterday was the day that I simply got on my old bike, covered in cobwebs and

rode almost 2 miles. Simple as that.

No overthinking no nothing.

My legs were so happy and safe to say I did not even break a sweat.

I am thinking that this will be a thing now.

Just like changing up my schedule.

On a side not, I so want to start baking my own bread this summer.

However, I was flabbergasted to find out that some products labeled Gluten Free

have wheat in them. I am wondering if some of my inflammation and other symptoms are caused

by inadvertently being exposed to wheat at restaurants etc... even though they thought it was

safe for me to eat.

Look at King Arthur for instance:



It says that it is gluten free when in fact it is made from wheat that has been

heavily processed ( ewwww)  to remove the gluten ( so they say) .

How many well meaning people have been duped by this mislabeling?





I use cup4cup and always have.

( not sponsored )

It is wheat free and most allergen free as well.

HUGE shout out to them and not changing up their recipes for profit.

( side eye at King Arthur πŸ‘€ )






I have certain goals.... LOL!

If any of you have any tips for me I would greatly appreciate it!


* Raises hand *

Yep.

And I have been doing this a very long time too!

Like over 40 years.

It gets harder and harder as companies try to eek more $$$ out of consumers

 rather than focusing on  quality.

Shop as local as you can...like your neighbor up the street local.

Alas, we all do not have farmers and producers who live close by

we can ask about how they do what they do.

But we do have regional farms and farmers markets.

I have learned so much about food from the farmers and folks who bring

their wares to market than any online source.

Fun way to bring the family into knowing where their food actually comes from.

Not a store or a restaurant.....


In other random news...

I wasted 18 minutes of my life watching this ( winner was at the 14 or so part) today.

It was silly and fun and just what Summer time should be about in my humble opinion.




Also for you dear wonderful folks who have successfully missed out on last weeks 

dramatics over everything under the sun... congratulations!

It must mean that you are focused upon all of the right things!

Bravo!



While I can't avoid missing out on everything weird and strange, dramatic and ridiculous ,

I can try. It has been one of the best things I have done in a long while.

Oh I hear we are to have the hottest weather ever...like face of the sun hot! _ Go!

stock up on ____________ ( benefits the companies) and be very afraid ( control ).

Or... Breaking! ( I rarely ever read a breaking story now because it is rubbish)

Breaking! - the narrative we talked bout yesterday has changed and now you must

put down your flag to this country and go on Amazon to get the next flag to hang on your

home to show how caring and relevant you are.

All of this is terribly silly.

Anyways....

Please enjoy your days my friends.

Stay in the moment and know that I am always praying for you.

* also, if you get my posts off of Facebook please know that I am having

issues with accessing my pages there. I am in the process of trying to fix it

but in the meaNtime, bookmark this page so you can see a fresh post when

in comes out of the oven.

Thank you & much love,

Raven
xoxo
