Here’s a sampling of fall colors around our house.

I’ve been having a terrible time getting my sourdough right. I’m not sure if it’s the weather(cooler) or what. But I finally decided to go back to the expert, Tartine. And it came out perfect. It is more work and more involved than no knead but worth it.

Today, I’m going to get an x-ray of my knee. The doctor said possibly arthritis but I said well, I certainly didn’t have any symptoms before I fell off the step ladder. He concurred it could be a meniscus tear. Hopefully just resting it will make the difference. I got the compression knee thing yesterday and it does help. I do plan on going to the gym but only to do upper-body weights. No treadmill yet.
