A few months ago, a good friend asked if I'd ever made sourdough bread. I shared my struggle with making the starter and how I had given up. With enthusiasm, she offered to give me some of her starter and sent me all the details to make it, assuring me, "You can do it, it's easy!" So, I received my starter in a jar and got several WhatsApp videos of her explaining how to make sourdough in her kitchen. To my delight, I followed her instructions and it actually "worked"! Now, I'm turning out two to three loaves a week, and each time I start, I think of her. Bread is such a historic, basic food that our female ancestors have been making in various forms for centuries. Women sat together, baking bread in every corner of the world. This sourdough not only brings back memories but also reminds me of a friend who believed in me. It highlights how important it is to surround yourself with people who lift you. Their support truly is one of life's greatest gifts! 🍞❤️ The saying 'We become who the person we surround ourselves with'
