I just received an email today telling me that my Santa's gift had been shipped. About an hour later, I spied a flat package on my front porch. Could it be??? Yes it is!! Santa really worked his/her magic this time!

I excitedly opened the box and inside was this wonderful book "Flour Water Salt Yeast: The Fundamentals of Artisan Bread and Pizza" by Ken Forkish. So perfect! It was on my Amazon wish list and was the one I'd secretly been hoping to get. You see, I've been playing with bread baking for a while and only recently have gotten into the exciting - and frustrating - world of sourdough!

Can't wait to crack it open and try out some of the wonderful recipes!

Thank you thank you thank you Santa! You did a wonderful job.
