Bread ended up rising like a volcano, and I had olive oil trickling out of the crater at the top. It was soooo good! Can you see the salt? Fun to be able to keep making good bread with my starter from 4 yrs ago 🙂

We had a good day today – went for an early bike/run around the fish ponds, with lots of discussions about fish, whether they go to school or not, how many grades of fish go to school in the ponds (Sam says 10 grades, from age 5 to 15), getting to see “hurry hurry!” at the fire station, then on to Ben’s 2 yr old appt. He is in great health, 35″ tall and 35 lbs (I think – he really freaked out at the ht/wt measurement). He is 75th percentile for ht and wt, 90th for head (big like his dad). He’s got Daddy’s cold now but he’s a real trooper and will still be up for partying tomorrow and through the weekend. We go camping on Mon and Tues, and hopefully cousin Mike and his wife Mary will be here tomorrow if their space-a plans come together!
