I know, I know, I'm not Southern. Gosh, I'm not even American. I just really enjoy using the word (phrase?) y'all, because it sounds friendly and cute and personable... at least, to me it does. So, ummm, anyways... Let's bake some bread! Simple Sourdough Bread (really!) I suppose the only thing not simple about this bread is ...

Last week's post (about Feeding Picky Toddlers) brought up some interesting issues in the comments section!
