yesyes, i was complaining about the little amount of snow we got last sunday as well as yesterday. and today all everyone could talk about is the huge amounts of snow we might get this friday/saturday. wherever i was, the question was the same; have you heard? the snow, friday?! well yes.... a snowstorm, a blizzard even, might visit us this friday, bringing huge amounts of snow. possibly "breaking all records", "potentially historic". superlative onto superlative... lets see.... i hope it will just b a lot of snow, but not a lot of mess... its good that its supposed to start friday evening so that we have the weekend to enjoy the snow or recover from it.
apparently, people already started preparing, bread isles at supermarkets are being emptied. i guess we are good. we havent seen the bread isle in many months!! one night tim had to do some work and i was so very bored.... but baking yet another cake would require us to spend every free hour we have in the gym, so i decided to try and bake a bread for a change. the dough was so very sticky! tim had no clue what i was doing, until i asked him at some point to please release me from "the dough". i remember how he was laughing when he saw what i was doing, not knowing what exactly it was i was trying to make there... somehow that dough did become a bread, and i was soooooo very proud!! just somewhat later i got a sourdough starter (a truly amazing gift!!) from a friend, i bought all kinds of flours, seeds, nuts and this book. and well... since then we never bought bread again. i am not afraid of the dough anymore and tim does not have to release me from it... and (usually) every saturday we now have fresh bread, straight from the oven. a crispy-crunchy crust, some butter...... worth every bit of time and effort, yummm!! (above the sourdough bread with sunflower, sesame and flax-seeds we had last saturday). so yes, breadwise we are ready for the snowstorm.......

Looks as good as anything we could buy in a bakery here CaT.
I'm very interested to see if the blizzard materializes.
This looks so very tasty, I can smell the fresh bread. You are well prepared for the blizzard!
The meteorologists are right about half the time when they predict The Storm of the Century or other horrendous storm. Were you in Boston for the Snowmageddon two years ago? I have the feeling that this storm is real, and the big question is whether it will hit Boston squarely or change its track.
The difference between a big snow storm and a blizzard is that a blizzard comes with high winds, and high winds lead to power outages. So, be ready to lose your power for a few days.
Hope that you have baked enough of this wonderful looking bread to make your stay in doors a delicious one. You should be proud of your first efforts of bread baking that obviously has led to a great skill!
