2 perfects, 1 failure...47º (Windy night)

It is bound to happen when one gets too cocky...Doubled the batch, added more sourdough starter, heated two dutch ovens...Was sure I was going to have 3 loaves of perfect!...Perfect bricks or hockey pucks or ornamental rocks maybe, certainly not edible...As Herb chewed on a chunk that he sawed off the end of one loaf, he said, "It's a good thing we don't have false teeth!"...Back to the basic recipe added small amount of sourdough starter, wish me well because we have company arriving today and I told them dinner would be ready.

Pretty Sad!

The wind blew a gale last night, coming mostly from the NE...It rearranged the deck furniture, blowing some of it into the flowerbeds...Kept us awake with the clanging, banging and crashing, wondering what the damage was...We have withstood other storms where a shed became a heap of rubble in seconds, part of the roof blew off of our house, tree tops slammed into the deck and the neighbors lean-to roof ended up in our back yard (twice)...We have had the Thanksgiving Storm, Veterans Day Storm, Pre Christmas Storm (blew the roof off of the Joseph School Cafeteria) and now the "End of September Storm"...Haven't been outside or heard any news yet to know the extent of the damage...Consolation: Not even near a tornado or hurricane!..Hugs To All...OWAV:)
