So I went to our local bakery, nooot lol. The local bakery is our loft in Fulton Market Chicago. This is the first time that I’ve attempted to make different breads at the same time. Sourdough focaccia, that will be made into 4 different sandwiches and sourdough baguettes for our charcuterie board. Funny that in the past, I would just buy bread from some great local bakeries but now, I’m confident enough to bake myself. I seldom buy bread anymore only in an emergency. Cheers from Chicago’s Fulton Market.

Happy Anniversary to my “Dish”, Trisha. 36 yrs married, and 40 yrs together. It’s been a great ride lol. Meeting you, 40 yrs ago was a miracle of the joining of two different worlds. We knew when we met that we were soul mates. I feel in love with you the moment we locked eyes in Mission Viejo, California at Bobby McGees. Love you!!!

Spending a couple days here to check up on things. In our first night, we checked out the sunset at a local restaurant/bar and met Rob and Laura. They are both Midwesterners. Rob, originally from the Chicago area but then settled in the UP Michigan. He happens to be a chef lol. So they were so generous in inviting us to their home where Rob made this homemade pizza that we the best that anyone has ever made for us. It was delicious. Folks, when a chef makes you food, it’s a big deal. We put our hearts into feeding people that we care about. It was a blessing. Thanks for the awesome food and company. Later today, we’re off to South Beach to celebrate our anniversary and a friends birthday. Cheers!

My little little sis embarrassed me by putting catsup on her hotdog during Chicago’s Design Days at Fulton Market. She’s lovely anyway but catsup on a hotdog? 😂. Cheers!

Multigrain sourdough loaf that I baked earlier today. With practice, getting better at this. I’ve started using formulas based on hydration. This loaf is about 82% hydration. Cheers from Fulton Market Chicago.

Sourdough ciabatta rolls! Had to bake these in my regular oven rather than my Anona Combi which conked out after almost 8 years. Tough to generate the proper steam but it was worth the effort. Think this recipe is a keeper but need to check after an hour. Looking forward to ciabatta sandwiches with roast chicken, tomatoes, avocado and arugula. Cheers from Fulton Market Chicago.
