Directions here are to turn off the highway to Burns and it’s the first ranch on the left.
Omit the part about going around the bend, the road turns to gravel and ruts and there’s 50 miles if it before you see the ranch, top speed is 40 mph unless you want to wind up in the bar ditch…plus there’s the deer, antelope, occasional elk and ALWAYS bovine streetwalkers…

That picture -- talk about "nowhere" 😳 And miles of it.
We have driven 4 hours to town and passed less than 5 vehicles.

Got two loaves of sourdough cold fermenting, 1 for a boule and 1 to try baking in a loaf pan.
Got biga sitting through the night for my first ever ciabatta. I wanted something special to use for sandwiches with the meat off the ox tails, because it is so delicious! I have potatoes already peeled and sliced for ham & potato soup tomorrow night.
I am worn out. I am also pissed because the butcher never contacted me to ask how I wanted our beef cut and wrapped. So we have no roasts and no kidney fat to make tallow, which I desperately need.
Jerks!

Ciabatta rising. Anxious to see how it turns out as it was a really different way to make bread!
One boule and a regular loaf pan of SD in the oven, anxious to see how the loaf comes out too.
It’s snowing again. 🤬
Glad I DIDNT clean yesterday as Boone has tracked mud in everywhere.
Hope Randy got ahold of boss who is supposed to be heading home from Bend, so he can grab my meds. I don’t want to make the drive in.
Potatoes are already peeled and chopped so making soup tonight should go quickly. Think a slice of SD is enough or should I make a quick loaf of french bread to go with it?
