I finally tried that sourdough recipe you sent. The first rise took a bit longer than expected because the kitchen was a little cool, but the end result was surprisingly good. I added some rosemary and sea salt on top, which gave it a nice savory twist. YuDlo2E5k9Elxa Let me know if you've tweaked yours at all. I am thinking of trying a whole wheat version next time to see if the texture holds up. We should share notes soon. Also, I read an article about maintaining starter cultures in warmer weather, and it mentioned adjusting the feeding ratios slightly to keep the flavor consistent. Might be worth experimenting with next batch.

We checked out the Riverbend trail yesterday and it was absolutely worth the drive. The elevation gain was gradual so it didn't feel too strenuous, and the views at the top were incredible. We packed a light lunch and spent about an hour just taking it all in. Definitely bring plenty of water next time. Let me know if you and your family want to join us in a couple of weeks. The fall colors are supposed to peak around then so it should be even better. I heard there is a new section opening soon that connects to the old fire road.
