Kitchen pantry got a makeover yesterday. I rush of energy came over me that I can only attribute to  the new italian coffee percolator that's entered the household. Gone is the former bright blue paint, and over it is a shade of black that was pushed back by means of rubbing off the paint carefully with a rag. Now, the cupboard  no longer looks like an odd ball in the kitchen but fits in well with the surrounds. 

And, I finally got around to making a sour dough starter. 

Last night's result.
