Move aside basic sourdough... momma’s got a new favourite!
.
Since my starter isn’t active enough yet for my normal sourdough recipe, I’ve been experimenting with adding the discard starter into my no-knead bread recipe. I threw in a couple of folds last night because, why not... but this bread takes zero effort (hence the title ‘no-knead’). Anyone could make it and just look at the result!! 😍😍

Like many people, I’ve found this self-isolation to be the kick I needed to start baking bread again. My new loaves aren’t working quite like they used to (my starter isn’t as active yet) but that’s the fun with baking. It’s all trial and error until you find a recipe and method that works for you - there’s no real ‘right’ way to do it!

This photo is from when I had my old starter. Going to have to try and find a way to work with my new temperamental one 😂

Sanding our 100+ year old floorboards, while super-duper rewarding... takes fricken aaaaages. It also makes an insane amount of dust. Fun fact - my arm hairs are not blonde, that is just a coating of dust 😂

Took a break from the house to visit the allotment – love seeing everything from last year coming back up!

The living room is no longer a death trap! We can walk in there again, which is lovely. Although I was secretly enjoying practicing my balance beam skills...

Our living room will soon have a solid (sub)floor again 🙌🏻
Three cheers for no longer having to balance on floor joists!

There’s not much going at the allotment these days, so these gorgeous crocus are giving me all the feels 😍

So exciting to find out that our supposedly 80s doors are actually original four panel Victorian ones 🙌🏻
.
They were just hidden behind that ugly flat panel look! Good thing I noticed before we got rid of them all 😂

Well, we were lifting floorboards anyways, so decided to tear down a wall and keep going 🤦🏻‍♀️ starting to wonder when we will finally start putting the house back together as opposed to continuously ripping it apart...
