We’ll start with snow …. yep, snow. It was forecast and it was flurrying when Emmett and I took our last walk on Saturday night. By this morning, there was maybe a scant inch and as I write this at 1:30 p.m., it has mostly stopped after snowing all morning.

In anticipation of snow and a cold week, I fired up the woodstove yesterday for the first time this Fall/Winter season. Cozy!

I also mixed up a batch of dough on Saturday evening for …

Sunday morning bagels !!!

I used a recipe from The Clever Carrot’s (Emilie Raffa) book: Artisan Sourdough Made Simple. Most of Emilie’s recipes have a “mix in the afternoon/early evening, let dough rise overnight” time schedule.

This morning, I was up at my typical 5:30 a.m. ish … shaped the bagels, took Emmett for a dark o’clock walk, boiled, seeded, baked and I had fresh, hot bagels about 6:45 a.m.

Sunday morning bagels!

That cheese…

… is from Cowgirl Creamery . I’ve been buying online and just joined the “Cheese Club”: monthly delivery of several kinds of cheese and a Zoom session with the cheese master to learn about the cheeses, the creamery and generally have fun! The cheese is delicious!

From their website:

I’m happy to have found this source of artisanal made organic cheese! My first order also included Fig Jam from Jamnation Jams . Also delicious and not over sweetened like grocery store jam. Another great company that I’m happy to buy from.

After bagels and ham and cheese and jam … time for a walk in the snow!

Sunday treats.
