Hey, thanks for the note about the camping trip last weekend. The weather ended up being perfect, which was a huge relief since we were so worried about the forecast. We ended up hiking about 8 miles on Saturday along the river trail. The kids were tired but they didn't complain too much. We saw a few deer early in the morning which was a treat. I'm already thinking about planning another trip for next month, maybe somewhere with a lake so we can do some kayaking. Let me know if you'd be interested in joining. We're still figuring out the dates, but probably mid-month. The gear held up well, especially the new tent. It was easy to set up and kept us dry overnight. Anyway, let's catch up properly soon. I'll send you a message once we finalize the plans. Talk later!

I finally got around to trying that sourdough starter recipe you sent me last month. It took a few tries to get the hydration right, but the last loaf came out really well. The crust was crunchy and the inside was soft. I added a bit of rosemary and sea salt on top. Next time I want to try a whole wheat version. It's such a rewarding process, even if it takes a couple of days. Let me know if you have any tips for maintaining the starter in the fridge. I'm worried I'll forget to feed it. Hope you're doing well. We should grab coffee sometime this week. I'm free Thursday afternoon. Let me know what works for you. Take care!
