Hey! Totally agree with your take on that documentary. I actually just finished reading the book it was based on, and honestly, the ending in the book is so much more nuanced. They had to simplify it for runtime, I guess. Let me know if you want to borrow my copy. I also started that new series everyone is talking about. Pretty good so far, but the pacing is a bit slow in the middle episodes. Anyway, hope you're having a great week! We should catch up properly over coffee soon. Let me know what works for you. I've been experimenting with some new recipes lately, mostly vegetarian stuff, and I found this incredible lentil soup that I think you'd really enjoy.

I finally tried that sourdough starter recipe you sent me. It took about a week to get really active, but my first loaf turned out surprisingly well! The crust was a bit thicker than I expected, but the inside was soft and tangy. I think I let it proof a little too long in the fridge. Next time I'll try adding some rosemary and sea salt on top. Thanks for sharing the link! It's become a fun little weekend project. Let me know if you try it too. I also picked up some new baking tools that make the whole process a lot smoother. The kitchen scale is a game changer for getting the hydration ratio just right.
