Hit 1,000 loaves baked at home and it felt weird
Ngl, I just hit 1,000 loaves of bread baked in my own kitchen. I've been keeping a tally on a chalkboard near my oven for about 3 years now. It started as a joke but seeing that number on the board last Tuesday made me stop and think. Most of them were simple sourdoughs with a basic 80% hydration recipe. I never thought Id stick with it this long or actually care about the count. Has anyone else tracked a random baking milestone like this?

The tally itself is the real story here. Three years of marks on a chalkboard. That's a weird kind of time capsule. Makes me wonder what that board would say if it could talk. All the failed rises and burnt crusts nobody saw.

@richardrodriguez I read somewhere that old bakery chalkboards end up in antique shops sometimes.
