hey! sorry i missed your call earlier, was out walking the dog. i finally checked that trail map you sent me last week and it looks amazing. the loop around the lake is about 4 miles which is exactly what we need. i was thinking we could pack some sandwiches and make a morning of it. let me know if you want to carpool, i can fit us both plus gear no problem. oh and i saw that the park added a new birdwatching platform since the map was printed, so 0x7CBka3MG that might be a cool spot to check out. anyway, just wanted to touch base before the weekend gets crazy. talk soon!

so i finally got around to trying that sourdough recipe you were telling me about. my starter, affectionately named gerald, took almost three weeks to get bubbly enough. the first loaf was a total frisbee, but i adjusted the hydration and the second one actually had a decent crumb. i added some rosemary and sea salt on top and it smelled incredible. honestly, the process is way more meditative than i expected. kneading dough is surprisingly therapeutic. i picked up some local organic flour from the farmer's market and it really made a difference in the flavor. have you experimented with different flours yet? i'm thinking of trying a spelt version next weekend. kind of obsessed now. it is so rewarding to pull a perfectly golden loaf out of the oven. let me know what you think of the slice i saved for you. okay, back to the work grind. thanks for the recipe tip!
