Negative Optimism + Owl Who? | Bread Machine Burnout

from Shut The Oven Door Hosted by Brimly

Welcome back to the Brimly Book Club! We’re unfortunately at the end of our book for the month, ⁠⁠⁠Life Is What You Bake It ⁠⁠⁠ by Vallery Lomas. She has been such a great inspiration for us here at Brimly, inviting some interesting questions, such as: Is there such a thing as negative optimism? Steph and Nash explore that concept a little deeper. Also, would you rather have dinner with an owl or with a person who just stares at you? And as we mentioned, we’re in the final week of Back to Basics. This week, we’re ditching the bread machine for a traditional oven recipe. We’re going to Italy and diving into this week’s recipe, our Gluten-Free Rosemary Focaccia. The recipe is definitely worth a try, and this episode is definitely worth a listen!
