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! :)

Not that I don’t appreciate the recipes – but I love hearing and seeing you, your life, and your family. That is what usually draws me in to a blog.

Since you’re asking for input, I would read your blog more if you published a full feed. Some people won’t even subscribe to partial feeds. I keep it because it’s you, but I ‘m way more likely to click over to a blog when I read a post and want to comment on it, than I am to click on a post summary. To me, having a summary defeats the purpose of a feed. Just my two cents.

I never knew there was a difference. 🙂 In many ways I’m still a new-by I’ll have to get more info on that. Thanks for the input.

Thanks for stopping by, Jessie! I loved your snapshot about lunch with the man of your dreams — it looks like you’ve got a few good-looking men in your life! Your kids are adorable.
Thanks again for your comment; it’s nice to touch base with someone through LPM!
