Serious cooks have ways of keeping their spices organized. I had a spice rack built on my pantry door, and they're alphabetized top to bottom. The jars have easy to read labels with a world map on the cap that highlights the area where the spice is most prevalently used. When I immersed myself in international cooking a few decades ago, I felt this was the best way to keep my spices straight.

If you’ve got sourdough starter, I’ve got the pizza dough recipe for you.

I was using a different one before this and finally tried the one from the site where I make my ciabatta, sourdough boule, and focaccia recipes from — and I wish I had tried Alexandra’s recipe sooner. It’s solid. I love it.

This is one of the lesser visited waterfalls in Iceland, Fosstorfufoss. Few visitors make the hike up the steep steps to the top of Skogafoss and continue along the Fimmvörðuháls trail. While not as huge and impressive as Skogafoss, I think the tight shots of this falls are quite beautiful.

I spotted it perched on a ridge in the distance, and it took flight, heading towards me, then drifting by, below, lit up by the winter sunshine.

Magic. 😎
