Is it still summer? Yes. Will we have temperatures in the high 90s by the end of the week? Also yes. This past Friday, however, my house was chilly enough without air conditioning that I could put on a sweatshirt and leggings. How do I respond to this upcoming transition…? Well, I haven’t gone on a pumpkin spice bender or anything and the flannel button-ups are still safely ensconced in the closet. I did go, however, to the chef supply store yesterday and got 25lbs of all-purpose baking flour and 10lbs of granulated sugar.
Those who know me well know what this means. Lubbers House of Carbs will be getting into full swing soon. Prepare yourselves. I bake. And then I share.
My sister just brought me three jars of homemade jam. Jam bars will make an appearance first. I promised Mary a chocolate cake very soon, too. And I think it’s time to begin the sourdough starter process as well. I’m happy to share recipes along with the things from my kitchen. It feels good to want to. It feels like me again. That’s pretty great.
