Right- I’ve just realised having ‘launched’… this (lol, how big time am I making it sound?) that I’m not sure where I’m going with this ‘newsletter’ thing - and I have no idea what I’m doing on Substack- so bear with me…
Thank you so much for sharing this - nothing better than a newsletter about comfort ❤️ I love the challenge of sourdough, I’ve killed my starter so many times (lol) but baking is like therapy, I can get so absorbed and completely whatever else is going on. It’s challenging putting your creation out into the world but I would love to read more! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Hey Erin, thanks so much for the message! Omg, I bet you haven't killed your starter, they're remarkably resilient you know - do you pop it in the fridge when you're not using it? I completely agree - it's the only thing that allows my brain to switch off... I mean, it doesn't switch off ENTIRELY, it's usually madly trying to establish what the heck I'm attempting to do - but it switches off from the scary worried thoughts a bit! I'll do my best to keep putting these out there! Sending loads of love! xx
Hi Steph! Thank you for sharing all of this with us! Whether this newsletter is the only one or you write hundreds more it was informative and fun! When I look for the small comfort things (funny enough when my world feels like it’s crashing, I always flip on GBBO—bc it’s not scary or stressful—to us who haven’t had to compete! 😆). Anyway just doing comfy things and comforting tricks or tips really does make all of the difference. Somehow it’s not just a small thing, it’s everything. ❤️
Hey, oh I love this story - I used to do this with Bake off when I was at university- it used to send me to sleep at night, not in a boring way, it was just wholesome and delightful! You're so right, it's the little comforts that seem to have a really great impact I find! Thanks so much for the message! xx
Hi Steph, thank you for all you do - you're an international treasure! I first saw you on the GBBO where you worked your way into my heart. I was rooting for you. I have enjoyed Coffee Thoughts and am now looking forward to The Comfort Chronicles. You have a friend in California.
Hi what a wonderful idea. Who doesn’t need a bit more comfort in their lives so thank you for this newsletter. Sourdough - What a tricky thing haha. Tried throughout lockdown but it was never as risen and ‘wholly’ as I would like. Confess I threw the starter away 😂Yours looks amazing though. X
Thank so such for the support! As for sourdough - honestly it makes me nervous every time I think about having a go again, as for maintaining a starter - it's defo a commitment, I swear it's like having a pet that you have to feed... but once you master it, if you have the time or inclination, it IS pretty rewarding! xx
A bit of comfort is always welcome and needed over here. I worry and stress about every single little thing so a bit of comfort in any form always makes me feel so much better. Thank you and I can’t wait to continue reading.
I'm exactly the same - why are we like it? Thank you so so much for the support and I really hope I can share as many little comforts as I can find with you! xx
