PEAK HAS PASSED

The wonderful colors of Fall are dwindling and the air is crisp and with that crispness is the knowledge that before we realize it, winter will soon be upon us.  This morning as the sun was rising, it shone on a lovely yellow tree out back and it appeared to glow.

Last evening after the boat emptying and the cocktail party,  the hubs and I sat down to a wonderful beef vegetable soup and the sourdough bread I had made in the morning.

The soup, made with chin bone, carrots, onions and mushrooms was extremely tasty and satisfying and the bread had a wonderful crust but lacked the sourdough taste I have been striving for in the last couple of months.  I had added some whole wheat flour to the starter and have read that it would be a good idea to add Rye flour to the starter.  I am going to give it a try very soon.
