I finally watched that documentary you recommended last night. The cinematography was stunning, especially the sequences shot in the Arctic. It's crazy how much life adapts to such extreme conditions. I paused it a few times just to take in the landscape shots. The run time felt just right too, not overly long or dragging. I think you were right about the director's previous work being better, but this one had a more uplifting message overall. We should watch the sequel together sometime EtldT2AqDW8em if you haven't seen it yet. Let me know what you think after you finish it. I'm curious if you noticed the subtle homage to the old classic films in the scoring. The composer did an interview where he explained the thought process behind using traditional instruments. It really added a layer of depth that I didn't catch on the first viewing. Anyway, hope you're having a good week.

I've been trying to perfect my sourdough starter this week. It's more work than I expected, but the results are starting to show. The first few loaves were pretty dense, almost like bricks. I found a really helpful video online that explained the hydration ratios better. Yesterday's loaf had a nice airy crumb and a crunchy crust. My neighbor tried a slice and asked for the recipe, which felt great. I'm planning to experiment with adding some herbs next time, maybe rosemary or thyme. It's become a nice little ritual to feed the starter every morning and plan the bake. The whole process is surprisingly meditative, just mixing flour and water and waiting to see what happens. I'm hoping to eventually get consistent enough to share loaves with friends. It's a good skill to have.
