I just donated! If you are looking to help local producers, and the peeps on our new front lines, the medical workers, then please donate to this campaign. The MN Hero Snack Pack. These fabulous ladies produce great goodies with great ingredients and are donating their products. Your donation with help offset some costs.⁠

New post on the website. Sourdough starter maintenance. Check it out, especially if you picked up some starter from me. I even make a video!

Rainy day cake! I used @mistereatgalway 'My Aunty Peg's Carrot Cake' recipe p.324 of his The Irish Cook Book. So tasty, I had to corona-vise a few ingredients (whizzed-up brown sugar for the icing, ground-up the walnuts because I was sharing with older neighbors, etc.) The spice balance was perfect. Easy too.⁠
⁠
I'm just so happy I was able to get this book before I had to rush out of Ireland. It's a beautiful read. ⁠
⁠
I used my @sunriseflourmill flour too, of course. ⁠
⁠
Please support our local makers, farmers, and producers at this time. Thank you.⁠

Today was supposed to be graduation day from @dublincookeryschool. Trying no to feel too bad for myself, but I must admit, its sort of an emotional day. SO, I said to myself, ‘buck-up girlfriend,’ many have it much worse. ⁠
⁠
Many know about O’Sonny, my sourdough starter. Originally named Sonny because she arrived directly from my friends at @sunriseflourmill. I dehydrated her and smuggled her into Ireland with me. Once she was rehydrated, she was fed fabulous Irish flours. ⁠
⁠
Since I didn’t have a chance to dehydrate her for the trip home (if you recall, I left Ireland in a bit of a rush), I just popped the jar of her in my suitcase, and hoped for the best! Happy to say, she made it safely. ⁠
⁠
Instead of discarding her (part of the process of keeping sourdough alive), I thought I’d love the share her. So if you are interested in baking sourdough, I have five-20 gram containers of O’Sonny ready to be picked up on my back porch. I live in St. Paul, ping me, and I’ll send you my address. She needs to be picked up soon because she needs to be fed by tomorrow. ⁠
⁠
Bread baking and sourdough baking is an art. I have yet to master, but sometimes it’s nice to do these things with others, so let’s bake together. I may start a Zoom course, would that be fun for you? I wouldn’t start for about a week since our new bread ‘pets’ need feeding for a few days before they are ready to bake.⁠
⁠
More info in the blog post I just sent out. BTW, first come first serve! If demand is high, I’ll have more O’Sonny next week.⁠
⁠
(Don’t mind the dorm atmosphere of the back porch, our daughter had to move out of the U yesterday, sad face)⁠
⁠
Have a super Friday.⁠

Whether Ireland, Minnesota, Wisconsin or Timbukto, please, please, please, support your local food makers. Many are open and ready and to serve you, check their websites, call your neighbors and offer to collect (pick up) for them as well. Plus the big guys/shops, they are probably going to be fine, it’s the little guys that need our support.⁠
⁠
Large grocery stores are not the only places to get your favorite local products. Go to the source, let them drop the products in your boot (trunk), and off you go. Because, I know you’ve got time. ⁠
