Do I have to "starter" over?

 I started making sourdough bread in February but then I had my accident, and my "starter" 
has been living in the fridge waiting for me to get back to it.


Good News...
I was able to feed it and revive it and I am off to the "sourdough" races once again!


Homemade sourdough is just full of probiotics for a healthy guy microbiome.

And it is fun to make too...albeit a challenge at times.


No two loaves are ever the same.
Anyway...it makes me feel like I am returning to normal baking these beauties once again.

Hip Hip ...but not quite Hooray...

I haven't posted here on my blog for some time - nearly a year! Like many, life gets busy, and I had to let some things go for a bit. But I have been here in the background enjoying my favorite blogs.

  Especially recently...

About ten weeks ago on March 30th, I took a very bad fall in my driveway at home and fractured my hip amongst some other lesser injuries! I went to the emergency room right away and was in the hospital for four days after undergoing a fracture repair and clean-up and a hip replacement. It was quite the trauma and shock, and it has been a rough time dealing with the pain, lack of mobility, dependence on others etc. My best
friend helped me with my first shower upon returning home! I am still on a journey and have undergone much physical therapy - but I have ditched the walker and the cane and am getting closer to a full recovery each day. I will certainly try to be more present here - but I have enjoyed following up with some of my favorite peeps + posts while I was laid up.

WARNING - pics of my injuries.

Please be very careful, my friends. I am in good shape, exercise and walk all the time, 

but one little misstep can certainly change your life in an instant!

Still Cozy, 

Carrie
