Typical spring weather in the Rockies this week - 70 degrees yesterday and snow predicted for this afternoon:) I'm headed to Ft. Collins this weekend to attend RV Driving School - 2 days of one-on-one training with an experienced instructor, using my Airstream; should give me the confidence needed before I hit the road. Saturday night will be my first overnight camping experience with the Airstream!
It is amazing the many things I need to learn or relearn for living in an Airstream full time. For example, how do I downsize from cooking in a large gourmet kitchen with a 5 burner has stove, double oven, huge refrigerator, very large granite island, etc. to a 25-foot Airstream and still indulge my passion for cooking, especially baking? Yes - I've been spoiled:) No complaints; the transition should be fun and help simplify my life.
One of my goals is to bake no-knead bread outdoors.  Over the past year, I've baked many of the breads in Jim Lahey's "My Bread" book; I'm looking forward to experimenting with these recipes with an outdoor dutch oven. I also plan to bring my sourdough starter in the Airstream. Baking bread is one of life's simple pleasures and is a great way to meet people. I've been baking bread nearly everyday recently which has allowed me to give bread to neighbors and to a local soup kitchen.
Life is good:)
