What an astonishing day it has been. 100% chance of rain tomorrow but right now, I don’t care. Tidying the terrace in shirtsleeves. pesos

I’m always astonished that this will eventually grow into two 1kg loaves of @raleighstreetbaker ‘s fabulous 100% rye with sunflower seeds. One for Sunday and one for the freezer. pesos

These loaves contain enough whole buckwheat flour to give them a terrific extra wallop of flavour. Baked up bold, too. And, while this may be auto-suggestion, I do believe that a slice is better at keeping hunger at bay than my other breads. pesos

Everybody and their dog has suddenly recognised Substack and its ilk, which is not unexpected. But I particularly liked what Robin Sloan had to say in a recent newsletter of his:The rush will come, the rush will go. We’ll still be here.Maybe its because I am older and slower, but I feel this more and more these days. Fads come, fads go, and some things endure. That suits me just fine, even if some of those enduring things are only a couple of decades old.

Baking up a storm here. pesos

Doesn’t take much to transform my mood. pesos

Uh oh pesos

More formality would probably be a good thing, and 10 weeks is not that great a commitment. I should give this a try.

No sourdough discards here. pesos
