Back to Basics
Last night I made rustic bread. This is the same recipe I’ve been tweaking and working on for the past year. Towards the end of the life of the old oven, those breads came out pale and pillowy soft, which…

Casa Soutowood pool is officially open for the summer. We had a party on Saturday to celebrate a bunch of men in wigs signing a piece of parchment. We celebrated by grilling meats and consuming beer and soda. This is…
