Currently

This was a choreful weekend, but a good one nonetheless. On this Sunday night, I’m currently…

Reading: I just finished Sonia Sotomayor’s My Beloved World this morning and next on tap is The Animators by Kayla Rae Whitaker. Both came from my local library. I’m trying to get there every other week. Libraries are good for my soul.

Mixing: I have a sourdough starter sitting on top of my refrigerator. For eleven years I’ve wanted to make my own sourdough bread. This morning I made a simple sourdough starter using this recipe, and by next weekend I’ll be ready to fail at making my own sourdough bread! Seriously, this looks like a lot of effort.

I’m supposed to feed it more flour and water every day.. I’m hoping it makes gurgely noises.


I also made a red wine vinagrette this week instead of white. Used less oil and more garlic. So exciting, right?

Playing: Words with Friends. Again. I’m pretty bad at this game. How bad? This bad.

Ugh.

If you’re one of my FB friends, hit me up and you’ll up your win count.

    Sourdough bread isn’t too scary! You can do it! What yummy stuff is in your starter?

      It’s just flour and water. The website said to keep it simple to start with. The starter was bubbling tonight when I fed it. Yay!

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
