Back to basics

Food.
Rolling out puff pastry (for sausage rolls).
Slicing ginger and garlic, to simmer in vinegar, sugar, molasses, etc, to make a barbecue sauce: tomorrow, marinating ribs and wings in the sauce.
Preparing a poolish for the breads I'm going to make (probably breads, foccacia,
pizzas).

All things that can be done a day or two ahead, to help mitigate the fact that I'm in the middle of a couple of the busiest weeks I've ever experienced, and am planning to host our big annual July 4th party in two days. Fortunately LOML is, as always, being wonderful, especially by preparing all sorts of amazing desserts, salads and salsas.

Yours, in preparation,
N.
