Labor Day Monday this year was rainy and grey and dreary. But the house was warmed with the arrival of Mookie and Kristen for an evening hang, including some dinner. The weather called for soup, and I went with cream of tomato for our bowls. I also made a fun little loaf of peasant bread to turn into grilled cheese sandwiches, which were pretty awesome in their own right. While I either over-proofed the dough or simply had it too wet, it deflated some without becoming unpleasantly dense while baking. (These small successes in from-scratch bread-making are likely to render my previously much-used bread machine permanently stored away on the top shelf of the butler's pantry.)
