Book group was fun — we talked about North Woods by Daniel Mason, which is a highly crafted and really engaging novel with fantastical elements, set in New England and spans from the Colonial era to the indefinite future.

I caught up on vacation blogging.

I uploaded vacation photos.

I’m pretty sure I did some other stuff today, and it was important but I’m unsure what it was. Altho in the wee hours last night I caught up on paying accumulated bills.

I’ve been using einkorn lately. It grinds up different. It feels different. And as the sourdough crock is more einkorn and less wheat, it’s _really_ different. It browns differently when I bake it. And it has some _rise_. I might try a loaf, just to better grasp what is going on here.

I did not walk with M, because I’m still pretty sick. We did not have a visit, either, because, same.

ETA: After eating a muffin made from the escaped sourdough, I read a little bit about einkorn, and then I went and ordered some emmer and khorasan from Grand Tetons Ancient Grains, since my current grain provider hasn’t gotten to either of those yet as near as I can tell.

Also, apparently there’s a risotto like dish but with emmer (farro). Hmmm. I had known there was a wheat version of risotto but I was not interested but honestly, after getting to know einkorn, I’m prepared to entertain the possibility.
