- The competition pool was amazing and the water was perfect. The only downside was it’s deep(7ft) almost all the way around with quite a space between the top of the pool and the water. I jumped in and didn’t like doing that. To get out though, I went under the lap lanes and over to where there are stairs. Tomorrow I’ll get in that way I think. They have us using this pool only this week.
- I shopped at Winco and am so grateful their prices are below Safeway or Bel Air. I haven’t shopped in Safeway for months now.
- Our weather continues to be beautiful with highs in the 80s.
- Tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes,…I made my first batch of tomato sauce yesterday. I ended up with 7 pints of beautiful sauce. The hardest part is putting the tomatoes thru the food mill.
- I had an hour alone this morning as my daughter was at the college and B went to Costco. Hurray for a few moments of alone time.
- I found a sandwich bread recipe that I think works. The only thing is I did the last rise last night so it overinflated this morning. But I punched it down and still had an ok rise after that and it baked up ok. Good flavor. So I will try again but start the dough in the late afternoon instead of the morning. The recipe has 3 rises but the first one is 8-12 hours so that will be the overnight one. Then in the morning, there are 2 more rises at 2-3 hours each. I’ll link the recipe after I get it done without overinflating the dough.

And the great thing about Winco shopping? It is an employee owned business. They are paid well and have benefits. I’ve never met a grumpy employee there! I take them over corporate America any day!
Winco really is terrific. I will go in and check our new co op out but I’m guessing that the prices won’t be able to touch Winco. And that’s ok, Auburn definitely will benefit from this store.
