I just made this! Ordered the grits as instructed from Marsh Hen Mill. Received it yesterday, made the loaf this morning. I wasn’t sure what to expect since I’ve never had grits before. So, two things, I really like grits. Second, this bread is ridiculously good. The lemon zest made the bread smell so good. Thanks for referring me to this recipe (from your latest post). Just have to keep working on shaping and the scoring- time to revisit your videos.
Absolutely beautiful! I totally understand the connection and have a strong pull to sassafras for the same reason. We had them all in our yard and on my elementary school playground and it always brought me so much comfort.
So beautifully written—you perfectly describe my feelings about the connections old things give us to past people and places. Also can’t wait to try this bread! It sounds delicious. 😋
Thanks, Jan. I really appreciate your kindness and mutual appreciation for these things (and good bread!). Wishing you a happy and healthy 2023. All the best, Martin

So, so glad! Thanks, Sandra. We’re all working on the same things — still, always! Really appreciate you.

Hi Martin, any suggestions for a sub for the cracked corn grits, not very common to get here in Ireland unfortunately!
