Baking and Caking
When life gives you, or rather, doesn’t give you yeast, make sourdough. I have been on and off sourdough since encountering it in Von’s 1000Spirits in Seattle in 2012.

Ghent – The Low Countries Part 2, Even Lower
After a few days in The Hague, we leisurely made our way to Ghent in Belgium for the second conference on the books. We spent another night in The Hague after a packed day of post-conference social events. The plan had been to take the train down to Ghent in Belgium but that was a
