I'm trying to get back into the habit of making bread on the weekends, so that I can have it throughout the week. I eat a lot of sandwiches, and it's nicer if I've made the bread myself. So today I'm making sourdough with apples and raisins in it, as that feel sufficiently autumnal.

Sourdough is like the most low-key version of having a pet/animal husbandry ever. I captured wild yeasts and tamed them and now they help me out in the kitchen in return for being fed once a week! It's pretty neat. Plus, it is potentially a lifelong companion, assuming I keep up my side of the bargain.

I have named my sourdough starter Jerome, because I am that kind of person.
