Pork Roll

Pork Roll. NOT Taylor Ham. It's Pork Roll. Always. It's a Jersey thing. If you know, you know.
My son's girlfriend was visiting a few weeks ago from Massachusetts. She had never had a pork roll and cheese sandwich so we fixed that right away! She LOVED it. She enjoyed it every morning she was here. My son is heading up to visit today so I had to send her some. She is very excited! This makes me so happy!!!! Seriously...she gets better and better.


My first sourdough starter was 3 1/2 years old. I started it in December 2019 and I've made many yummy loaves from it. I almost lost it a few times over the years but always got it back. Well, I ignored it too long this time and it went bad. Like really smelly, no way I could save it bad. I was so sad but it was my own fault. Today marks the day I am starting a new one. I use this recipe for starting it and I also follow her exact baking recipe for my sourdough loaves. 


It's very hot today and getting hotter! I washed my Meadowlands quilt and hung it on the porch railing to dry. Have the use this hot air for some good!


I started my fall/holiday knitting for The Coop. I knit things to sell in the farm store and use that money for my Christmas shopping. This is my first of the season, a cute little baby cardigan. I've made so many of these Granny Favourite sweaters! They're quick and adorable. I made this one short sleeves so I only needed one skein of Cascade Pure Alpaca. It's a perfect layering piece for a baby.


Once the quilt dried, I put it on my bed and Buddy immediately jumped up for a nap. Well, it was clean for an hour....
