So, hottest day of this #Canicule and I've just baked some bread. Sandwich orders?

Looks dead yum, I'd just eat it while still warm 😋
Tania Doney · 2 · 1d ago I know! The trouble with baking sourdough is that you need to keep feeding the starter and then you need to use the starter (mind you, I've chucked out considerably more than usual this summer, because it's just too hot to make bread or to bake anything with the discard).

Tania Doney · 2 · 1d ago It does!
Looks fabulous. Meanwhile, about 3” rain fell in the wheelbarrow overnight.
Yay
A thick slice with lashings of fig jam please....
Damn! No fig jam. We have recently made plum jam?
Then plum jam it is...
Jambon beurre s'il te plaît ! Or just lashings of good butter with salt crystals in!
👆👆👆 same, please!
My idea of a delicious treat would be a lovely thick slice of that smothered in really salty butter from Brittany, complete with salt crystals in the butter.
