Hey everyone, thanks for checking out the newsletter this week. It’s been sweltering here the last couple of days, with no relief in sight for at least the rest of the week. Heat index into the upper 90s and it’s only getting down to the 70s at night. I know that in other parts of the country that’s not a big deal, but I’m just not built for hot, muggy weather. As a meme I saw today says, I’ll take 32F over 102F any day. Honestly, my optimum working temperature is around 50F or so. Just cool enough for a hoodie.
the way the cooks for the wranglers kept the sourdough bread yeast alive was to wrap it up and tie it around their waist. when they stopped to cook they would mix it with regular dough but always save enough "starter" for the next stop. I had a great uncle who was a "cookie" on cattle drives. Now at 80 I tell my great grandkids about the stories he told me.------ I, Grampa
