A friend came over today to learn how to sew fitted face masks. She brought her daughter (Ivy's age) to play. We also had time to mix sourdough starter and start a batch of sourdough bread. I had a large pot of onions caramelizing in the oven all morning that will be French onion soup tomorrow.
My friend gave me a recipe from her home country of Turkey. I don't know what they're called, but they're savory olive oil dumplings filled with whatever sounds good. We put herbes de Provence in the batter and filled them with olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and Emmental cheese. Yum.
So somehow I ended up cooking for hours and hours even though it was my "off" day for making dinner. This seems to happen too often...
The kids are making coloring pages from photos of my grand- and great-grandparents.
We all went out for a late afternoon swim. Ivy and Inga went snorkeling with Eric and practiced diving and equalizing their ears. They are both getting really good! Inga can now dive at least 20 feet deep and bring up rocks from the bottom as proof.

Here's the recipe:
1 cup olive oil
1 cup plain yogurt
1 egg
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 Tbsp vinegar
3 1/3 cups whole wheat flour
Herbs/spices to flavor the dough (optional)
Fillings of your choice
Mix together everything but the flour. Add the flour and mix well. Let sit for 20 minutes.
Roll into balls (about the size of a golf ball or slightly smaller) and stuff your filling into the middle. Put on a sheet of parchment paper. Bake at 170 C / 335 F for around 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
