I’m about to go upstairs and learn how to bake bread with my mom, using her sourdough starter that her stepmom gave her—it’s over 45 years old. I hope to take some back with me to New York. I love that I opened Substack and this specific newsletter was the first to be suggested in my lineup of subscriptions. I so admire the life you’re living and I’m so happy for you and your home.❤️

" To be Settled". We moved from Ohio to Sarasota, Florida to support our son in chasing his dreams in baseball. Still in a rental and its been 2 years. Still longing for the feeling of home. Ive been putting things off " Until we are settled" but not anymore, Im just gonna bake the bread. I am thoroughly enjoying your words, recipes and those boys. LOVE IT HERE.

I loved your honesty about how hard it is to do what you want when you’re not in the right place. How true it is that food and feeding those we love helps us reflect on where we are physically and emotionally. Thanks, Sam, I really relate to that!

I’ve also been making no knead bread each night before bed - it’s easier than my bread machine which is loud and keeps the baby up. I just got Kamut flour to try the recipe with different flour. And now after reading this I’m excited to try baking it in a Dutch oven!
