This Is Us

  Lydia wanted me to paint her nails on Saturday. She wanted something bright and springy. So she chose three colors. I used my gel nail polish and it’s holding up really well.

  So after my St. Patty’s Day nails, I decided that since it’s spring, I would do some bee nails. I used this  Nail Tool  to make the bee and stripes. I used a gold glitter on my pointer finger and the matte finish top coat on my middle finger.

  I forgot to post my nails for St. Patrick’s Day. Here they are! 

  As I said in  This Post - St. Patrick’s Day 2021  we love to have fun and celebrate the holidays. This year I dyed our rice green, made green sugar cookies with rainbows, wore green, and watched Darby O’Gill and the Little People.

  We love making our own pizzas, and I wanted to use some sourdough starter. So, here is a recipe for Sourdough Pizza Dough Sourdough Pizza 1/2 Cup Sourdough Starter 1 Cup Warm Water (about 110°) 2 1/2 Cups Flour 1 tsp Salt Your Favorite Pizza Sauce and Toppings Put the sourdough starter in a bowl.  Add the water and mix until starter is dissolved.  Add in the salt and flour.  Mix until well blended.  Let sit for 2-4 hours, or until doubled in size.  Divide into smaller amounts and shape into balls.  We can usually divide it into 8 pieces. Roll out (or use your hands) into desired thickness and size.  Place dough on a rack on a cookie sheet and cook for 5 minutes so the dough is precooked.  Pull out and add sauce, cheese, and toppings.  Cook for 10-15 minutes, until cheese and toppings are the desired brown and crispyness.  Cut and enjoy! If you cook in an air fryer, precook the dough for 2-3 minutes and cook with toppings for 3 minutes. What are your favorite pizza toppings? Happy Fri

  Here is the first loaf I did.  I read that if my proofing basket is new that I should spray it with water before flouring it. I did that, but then when it was time to take the dough out, it stuck to the fabric. So I rinsed it with water and let it dry. Then I put lots of flour in it for my second loaf. That worked so much better! Also, when I cooked it, the parchment paper stuck and cooked to the dough. So for my second loaf I sprayed the parchment with some cooking spray and that worked great! Here is the proofing basket. You can see the dough stuck to it. Here is a picture of the inside.

  Here is my second loaf of sourdough. It turned out so good. I really love the flower/sunshine design that I cut in to it. Have you tried making sourdough yet?
