Making Stuff\u2026.<\/h3>\n

I haven\u2019t made any messes in the past month, not any spectacular ones anyway. \u00a0But I have had some adventures that turned out well in the end.<\/p>\n

First off, a classic sour dough bread, full of the tang of sourdough and the chewy texture. \u00a0It is a two day process, easy really, just takes the time it takes to get the rise.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My son termed these loaves \u201cthe bread that looks like very big baked potatoes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And they do! \u00a0But the flavor and chew mark this as one of my best breads. \u00a0Thank you for King Arthur Flour\u2019s recipes for sourdough! \u00a0Any and all\u2014I am working my way through them.<\/p>\n

So what is the power of Oops!
\nExperience. \u00a0And learning from it.<\/p>\n

There have been more socks too. \u00a0I haven\u2019t oops\u2019d a sock in quite a while, but those that were oops\u2019d helped me find a better way to do a toe and a heel, and to find (finally) a very good fit.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

The only mess I can really claim (at the moment\u2026) is the one I create while working on my knitting. \u00a0I have 5 projects going at once, all in various stages so that I can jump in here or there to points that are easy or tricky, relaxing or not, or go with watching old movies. \u00a0(I love film noir).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is an organized mess, really. \u00a0That \u201cmess\u201d looks really good to me.<\/p>\n

As the summer slows me down to move in sync with warm (ok, HOT days!), I am soaking up the cool in the morning\u2014outside watching the birds take their morning splashes in Jim\u2019s well maintained bird bath. \u00a0Not making bread this week, though my sourdough starter, aka Trevor, would love it.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s to you and to your oops moments and the making of messes that give you pleasure. \u00a0Let\u2019s chill out and hope for clouds.<\/p>\n
