A lot of y'all are very interested in my ongoing sourdough adventures. As well you should be! SOURDOUGH IS AWESOME. I'd say it's really easy too, but to be honest it's really one of those "Minute to Learn, Lifetime to Master" things. So let me give you the benefit of my hard-won wisdom, oh aggregated grasshoppers.

( Let's rot some flour! )

TO BE CONTINUED!

O HAI THAR INTERWEBZ! Yesterday I declared an Arachnid Planet day, which means I holed up in my room with my door closed and did not interact in person with anyone, even Boy. He was disappointed of course, but this was one of those "is this my home or not?" things. I need a Room Of One's Own, and he knew the job was dangerous when he took it.

Because, y'see, when I got home Sunday night I was more than exhausted. After days of BAKING FRENZY and then the market, I was so out of it I was in the "mumbling incoherently and asleep on my feet" stage. The last thing I remember is I think sitting down with Boy to watch the Doctor Who that he missed. That was, I think, about 7pm. I woke up the next morning a little before 9am, and I have NO IDEA how I got from the sofa to the bed. Gaaah. Whoa. Huh?


( Market report under cut for length. )

In the end, though, I had a great time. GONZO LIVES!

Thanks to a whole lot of hungry, generous people, Gonzo Bread is back-ordered. I won't be accepting new orders for a week or two so I can catch up with the ones I already have.

The awesome support you've shown is a mixed blessing, as you can see. But I'll be back soon with the latest Seasonal Specials and more new noms!

Until then,
Ale scelestam!

Gonzo has signed on to Amazon Affiliates. I'll be linking you to Amazon listings of ingredients and products I use or recommend. I'll only link to stuff I do or would use myself. No bullshit, no lies.

Yeah, I'm doing it for the money. Gotta keep Gonzo in flour and yeast, after all! Thanks for your understanding, your generosity and support.

YUMMEH! Don't you want some?

In other news, I'm going to be adding information on the Etsy shop like the dairy content and other ingredient of my noms, and when I get a list I'll post them here too.

Don't forget the Seasonal Specials: Irish Soda Bread and Shamrock Potato Dinner Buns, available only until the end of March. New specials and other additions coming soon!
