A pepperoni pizza made with Gus Mueller’s recipe and my sourdough starter, cooked in my indoor oven. Not my best shaping effort. A more interesting and chewy texture than my usual recipe, and turned out much better than my previous sourdough pizza attempt. 🍕

On the homestead blog: welcome to day two of the ducklings. They’ve settled into their routine: eat, drink, poop, scamper, sleep, and grow. That’s the life of a duckling, at least for the first couple of weeks. 🦆

Today’s sourdough loaves turned out better than the last couple times, thanks to some tweaks (mainly reducing hydration). Still room for improvement, but getting there. 🍞

It’s duckling day! This morning I headed to the post office to pick them up (and get some gas for the mowers on the way). Here’s me in my beard-compatible mask for these pandemic days. (Stay tuned for lots of duckling pics.)

Today’s flower: dandelions. They may be considered a weed, but are cute in their puff ball state. And the flower is excellent bee forage. 🌱
