    When It Rains It Pours

    ByMary Crozier May 20, 2020May 20, 2020

    I am always curious as to why there are times in life where “things” happen in multiples. And not good things. Well, I seem to be in one of those downpours lately. As I mentioned in Saturday’s blog post, the 75 gallon water tank in the basement split and flooded two rooms. A plumber, two…

    Crackers and Edible Flowers

    ByMary Crozier May 19, 2020May 19, 2020

    I have never made homemade crackers in my life. Over the last few days, I’ve been experimenting with discarded sourdough starter. When I feed my sourdough starter every week, I keep a small amount and toss the rest. Seems so wasteful, so I’ve been searching for recipes utilizing this discard. One way to use discarded…

    Sourdough Starter Basics

    ByMary Crozier April 4, 2020April 4, 2020

    Last October, I visited my son in Washington, D.C. His roommate is quite the baker and he generously shared some sourdough starter with me. I really didn’t know anything about this white, gooey substance, but I carefully carried it back in my suitcase to Phoenix. I was familiar with making bread from commercial yeast, but…

    Using Preserved Lemons in a Recipe

    ByMary Crozier February 29, 2020July 10, 2024

    It’s been a little over a month since we made preserved lemons (hopefully together!) and it’s time to try a new recipe. If you missed the blog post about this, please click here. As you recall, my first attempt at making preserved lemons was a failure. But inspired by a friend who uses them all…
