taking notes from sourdough

Pull up a chair, take a seat, and - no need to buckle up - because we are about to slow down.

Ok let me back up.

A few weekends ago I was sitting out in my backyard soaking up the morning sun and sipping on my coffee, and not ~ completely ~ disconnected from technology. I opened a text from my sister with a suggestion to check out an old favorite blogger of hers who had recently revived her blog.

I clicked the link and a rush of nostalgia came over me. I miss the days when blogging was the place to go for creativity, inspiration and longer form content. I know - the grass is always greener. But I do firmly believe this pace of content and consumption that we are entrenched in today is just … too much.

I’ve been finding myself (and somewhat forcing myself) craving and consuming longer form content, that helps me slow down. And quite frankly - content that has an end to it. The mindless scrolling just isn’t doing it for me at this point.

Now you might be wondering what this has to do with bread. And to that I would say this very much has to do with bread, and sourdough bread to be exact. There’s so much to love and learn about sourdough, with one of the most powerful parts being the way sourdough bread makes us slow down and appreciate the delayed gratification of the bread making process.

So - here I am taking notes from my bread. Hoping to pivot a little bit and create a platform that is aligns with the nourishing, intentional side of floof sourdough.

I know this won’t be for everyone, as I know the jokes all too well (looking in the mirror as I type) about food blogs and recipes that goes something like “we don’t want to hear your whole life’s story - we just want your cookie recipe.”

But in the interest of slowing down a bit and sharing more than just bread with you, here we are. A little snippet of floof that will include (not too much) longer form content, recipes, and whatever else is inspiring me.
