In this time of quarantine I have learned how to make sourdough bread, and the amount of satisfaction that has brought me is greater than what I would have thought. I was so stressed out making the first loaf. Because it is a two day process I was anxious about messing it up and then feeling frustrated that I wasted the time and energy on it. But when that first loaf came out all golden brown and fluffy, I was so proud and happy! Now, many loaves later, I get a small sense of accomplishment when I eat the bread I’ve prepared. It’s a satisfaction that only comes from making something with your own two hands.
