share to all patient of [herpes virus] in the world. i
never believed that their could be any complete
cure for herpes virus .Mrs JANE introduce me to Dr
Aluda a herbal doctor who lives in Africa who
brought him back to life again. so i had to try it
too and you can,t believe that in just few weeks i
started using the herbal medicine he sent to me i
was perfectly ok and . Right now i can tell you
that few months now i have not had any
symptoms of virus and i have just went for
text last week and the doctor confirmed that
there is no trace of any herpes virus in my body
system. Glory be to God for leading me to this
genuine Dr Aluda I am so happy as i am
sharing this testimony. My advice to you all who
thinks that their is no cure for HERPES virus that is
Not true ,just contact him and get cure from Dr
Aluda via his Email Draludaharbalhome@gmail.com and you will be free and free
forever, Try it and you will not regret it because
it truly works. One thing i have come to realize
is that you never know how true it is until you

~Me~ Just in case you wanted to put a face with the name :)

I am a mom (of two amazing kids and two precious fur kids), A MIMI (to the most precious little man on the planet) a wife (to a very sweet man who LOVES to play practical jokes..often to my dismay)...Avid Baker, cook, gardener, Artist, rug hooker, punch needler, wool dyer and dabbler (in many different mediums). I also write short stories when they pop into my head :). I believe kindness matters, life is short and in minding one's business. Winter is my FAVORITE season, Christmas is magical and the world has so much more to offer, if we let it :).

~Sourdough Resources~ June 2020

I am SO happy to hear you are interested in joining me on this wonderful Sourdough Bread Baking Journey. There are lots of great websites, blogs, YouTube channels, tutorials and COOKBOOKS out there covering the subject of sourdough. It has grown tremendously in popularity, over the last few months, due to the quarantine which I think is wonderful. I have found this sourdough journey of mine very distracting in such a wonderful way. I am a home body anyway ~ so I guess you might say I had a leg up when it came to staying home and staying safe ~ however, it still had its challenges, changes, hardships and things to figure out. Sourdough gave me a busy and comforting distraction to focus on and truly ~ it helped me settle into all of this. I credit my wool applique to part of this as well and am quite sure it was an equal combination of the two. Baking & stitching = peace of mind in my opinion.

You will want to sift through all the info out there and find what clicks for you however, I will share with you the things (websites, blogs, Instagram and cookbooks) that worked for me and helped to finally, make this sourdough journey work for me. **Of note..I will be posting my journey with tips, tricks and notes on exactly what I did soon** In the meantime, these links are where I started. :)

I believe my success was a combination of all of the links below however, if I had to choose a starting place, to suggest to someone just getting into the "business of sourdough," it would be the wonderful cookbook I've listed below.

Here's my list;

COOKBOOK; Artisan Bread Made Simple by Emilie Raff ~ oh this book is gorgeous. The hard copies are currently sold out right now which is completely understandable, considering how amazing it is (OH THE RECIPES and gorgeous photo's in this book). HOWEVER, you can purchase the digital version, which is what I did, via iBook's, Kindle, etc. :). You can also find Emilie's recipes on her website; The Clever Carrot.https://www.theclevercarrot.com/cookbooks/

ONLINE CLASS ~ Gartar Stitch Farm. This is what got me started on this journey, once again, so it was a huge help in my success. Kat's very laid back so her approach is great. She has an online class that you can pay for or you can follow her instagram and follow along with her free "recipe stories"
https://garturstitchfarmshop.com/collections/shop-1-online-courses/products/everyday-sourghdough-the-online-course-level-one

https://www.instagram.com/katgoldin/?hl=en

SOURDOUGH UNIVERSITY ~ This is tremendously helpful in many ways. Mike is funny and down to earth and breaks things down in a real and manageable way. He also gives fantastic sample schedules for making a loaf of bread which was a huge plus and SO HELFUL. He is also great in helping to figure out all of the math and science behind sourdough. There is a rhythm and timing to this life being called sourdough starter and though it is not difficult, like anything else, there are do's and don'ts and keys to success. https://sourdough-u.teachable.com/

KING ARTHUR FLOUR ~ Sourdough Baking, The Complete Guide. KAF is #1 is all things flour and their starter recipes, schedule and recipes are fantastic!!! You can't go wrong! https://www.kingarthurflour.com/learn/guides/sourdough

WEBSITES; These are my two of my favorites;

AMY DUSKA OF Little Spoon Farm ~ Another wonderful starter tutorial, schedule and recipes. Amy would be my 2nd choice for a beginner :).https://littlespoonfarm.com/

MOLLY SHEPARD of withmolly.com. Another person that breaks things down simply with an easy to follow tutorial and great recipes..including discard recipes which I find essential as I do not care to throw away my discard after feeding my starter. :). https://withmolly.com/tag/bread-basics/

FOOD52 ~ Like KAF, you can not go wrong with Food52!!! I've not gone through their sourdough tutorial but it comes with a great recommendation from Dianne Yvon :). https://withmolly.com/tag/bread-basics/

I believe that is everything. I hope you'll join in on this fun journey ~ you will LOVE it. Keep me posted and share your journey.

Hugs, Doreen

My Favorite Gingerbread Cookies

**For the holidays, I like to roll these out and cut them with festive cookie cutters. For everyday use ;)..I simply roll the dough into balls, then roll the balls in sugar and bake**
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Shortening or Butter (I use butter)
1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Molasses
1/4 cup fresh brewed coffee (can use water if you do not have any coffee on hand)
2 1/2 cups Flour
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
1/4 tsp. Nutmeg
3/4 tsp. Salt
3/4 tsp. Ginger
1/8 tsp. Allspice

Preheat oven to 375* Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the coffee and molasses and mix until well combined. Mix the remaining ingredients and whisk to combine. Stir into wet ingredients. **DO NOT OVER- MIX them once you've added the flour** as it will make the cookies tough. Now..you can simply roll the dough into small balls, roll them in sugar, place on ungreased cookie sheet (I use a baking stone) and bake for 10-12 minutes. OR... Roll out mixture onto a floured board to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with desired cookie cutter, place on ungreased cookie sheet (or baking stone) and bake for 10-12 minutes until a light golden color (be careful not to over bake). Immediately remove from oven onto a cooling rack. Cool completely. ~Orange Maple Glaze~ In a small bowl stir together 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 TBL softened butter, 1 TBL orange juice & 1 TBL maple syrup. Drizzle cooled cookies with glaze and enjoy..YUM
