The Triangle area has a strong heritage of picnics, as can be seen in these gorgeous old photos from the 1800s from the Bermagui Historical Society’s collection.

For all you sourdough bakers out there, or wannabe sourdough bakers, these two recipes are a great way of using up sourdough starter that you would otherwise discard in the ‘feeding’ process that keeps your sourdough culture happy and full of life.
