Sourdough Update
Many of you have been checking back for results on my sourdough creation. At the moment it is still a science experiment, but a happy, bubbly experiment. Never fear, recipes will be here! I did make a beautiful, moist and delicious loaf of sourdough using yeast and a myriad of other ingredients but I'm still trying to create something more user friendly. Wouldn't it be awesome to have a starter on the counter that you could add 4 things to and have a loaf of bread by dinner? Mmmm!
Attempt #1 - rose well but resulted in a dense chewy blob
Attempt #2 - rose ok but was thin and lifeless then fell and another dense (not so chewy) blob
Attempt #3 - to the dogs!
Attempt #4 - A sourdough pancake success see post under what's for breakfast gluten-free goof?
Ongoing - I've tried several more times and am going to try a completely different approach on the bread starting this week. (Mar 18). My sourdough is still happy on my counter and it makes great pancakes but it's a lot of work just for pancakes. Keep checking!
April Update:
She is still kickin and I'm still workin on a yeast free, gluten free sourdough loaf!
May Update:
My sourdough "pet" has been dried and retired until next baking season. I've traded her in for a hotter model, the BBQ! :)

This is a beautiful photo! Thanks so much for your encouraging comment on my IheartFaces entry about my “About Me” section. I have done a gluten free, yeast free diet for health reasons and it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life!

Thanks everyone for your support! I’m shooting photos with a regular point and shoot so not as detailed as many of yours but still a lot of fun!

Love this photo. I only use a point and shot, too. I’m sticking with it, it’s just so handy.

I just love the name of your blog, I’ve had a song with that verse running through my head ever since my visit to your site! Thanks! Seriously-non scarcastically- sometimes its hard to tell.
p.s. I know I’m crazy but I can’t wait for the teen years!
