My husband and I live in Lake Tahoe with our two children. Life at the lake is a dichotomy: summer is filled with biking to the beach, paddle boarding, and hiking, while winter is hauling in wood in preparation for storms and shoveling out your driveway with a healthy amount of whiskey'd up coffee.
In our little community, there are many wonderful women and men that have mastered the art of Sourdough. They encouraged and persuaded me to try it, which wasn't too difficult as it is a delicious pastime. I first took up baking sourdough, though, to offset the overly digital world I exist in. Working full time in IT and sitting at a desk for 40+ hours a week does not leave much time for creativity and homesteading. Now, when I came home with dreams of dough, I am sure my husband chuckled because I had not successfully baked him anything since we got married. However, I was determined. Somehow, it seemed fitting for the long, snowy winters, and he had transformed himself from sun-kissed, beach bum to, essentially, Pa from Little House on the Prairie since we bought our old cabin. Living in the mountains on a budget means chopping wood - lots and lots of wood. So, as he swung away stacking cords for winter, I figured I could pull my homesteading weight in grams - of sourdough.
Our breads are made in our remodeled 60's cabin. My wonderful and talented mom did the backsplash and my creative dad, husband, and brother built the countertops out of facia wood.
