Thursday: Lego, dough

 Joshua came up with a new game today.  I was expecting it to be decent, but it was actually quite fun!  He made a small Lego item, in this case, a boat.

Without showing us the boat, he took it all apart and put the pieces into a bag.  We drew one piece at a time and had to make a boat.  We ended up with a power boat.

I also started making some pizza dough today.  Liz had kindly gave me some of her sour dough starter.  I've been debating asking for some for a while, but finally realized that everyone likes the "make your own" pizzas a lot more than store bought pizzas.  So the goal is to make pizza dough regularly.  Liz has a lot more experience and suggested some rough measurements for feeding the sourdough, but I'm not there yet so I weighed everything out.  Ok, I think I'm all out of order in this paragraph.  I took out half the current sourdough starter, as I'm supposed to.  I feed the rest of the starter and put it back in the fridge.  With the discard, I started making pizza dough.

And, 12 hours later, it had doubled in size like it was supposed to!  I had looked at it after a few hours and couldn't tell any difference, but maybe it was still warming up.  I folded it, per the recipe, and put it back in the fridge for tomorrow.  I might have more dough than I need, but I'd actually like to make Friday's dinner and Saturday's lunch. I can also freeze it if I have too much.
