I want to thank everyone for their kind comments on my baguette, including my wife who has been very encouraging. We had some more last night and yes, it is pretty good if I say so myself. But there's always room for improvement. I've made baguette once now so will know better how to do things the second time around. And I've ordered an 8 inch cast iron pan for the purpose of adding boiling water when I cook baguette again or other breads that call for it. Just the latest baking purchase, aside from more expensive flour, different yeast and other ingredients, I've gotten new liquid measuring cups, dough scrapers, a bun pan and now the cast iron pan. I'll have to bake more just to get back what I've spent so far! Not sure if I'll bake anything this weekend, but we are out of buns so that is planned to be next.
I have no plans for this to turn into a baking blog, but I write about what I enjoy so you can expect more. At least until I get tired of it, but I don't see that happening soon. Everything in moderation.
My lovely wife Kate is 29 again today, though she hates having a birthday in January. I can see why, we got 1.7 inches of snow early today for our first snow in 27 days. Just her luck, I guess. We went out and celebrated with friends last weekend, and she opened her present a couple days ago, so just a quiet night in tonight with her birthday wine. Happy birthday, Kate. 🧡
I guess I thought I had more to say, but we have no real limits around here. Cheers!

Happy Birthday Kate! Enjoy!
Mmmm...fresh baked bread, can't beat it especially with added bacon and a good cup of tea or coffee.
I agree, write about what you enjoy.
Kate's made a real good homemade pizza dough for some now, but tonight we made it together with a few different variables and enjoyed a great pizza and crust for dinner. I'll be making a sandwich bread this weekend, per her request!
