I'm a little pissed off at myself right now I just cooked my starter for the sourdough bread by accident. I usually leave it in the oven in a mason jar to ferment because it's warm in there. I was going to warm up the oven to make some home fries and forgot to take it out. I had a bit of a blond moment and I don't even have any hair. It took me probably the better part of a month to get that good good enough to make sourdough bread with. Now I have to start all over shouldn't take me that long this time cuz I know what I was doing wrong last time but will still probably take at least a week.

 

[Head1982]

Oh man! I feel for you. Took me like a month to get "The Bitch" just right. She a finicky mistress she is.

 

[Head1982]

You should be able to have a new one in like 7 days now thou. You worked out the kinks already.

 

[oldsmokey]

Yes she is! my mistake the the first time was I didn't keep it warm enough and it took a long time to start fermenting. Hopefully I can fast track things this time. Was going to make bread tomorrow to.

 

[Head1982]

Oh that hurts. I let mine almost die a few times and had to nurse her back health. You will have her bubbling in no time. Especially this time of the year.

 

[oldsmokey]

I hope so. I saw online on YouTube they say there's a family that has kept their sourdough starter going for over a 108 years. I wonder what that taste like.

 

[Head1982]

That is insane. do you use rye flour to start her?

 

[oldsmokey]

No I don't use rye flour start off with 50% whole wheat flour and 50% white flour then after the first couple of feedings switch to straight white flower. That is a good question though because I have read useing rye flour as a starter does speed it up. Going shopping tomorrow I will have to look for Samurai flower. But lately buying flour here is hit or Miss half the time is sold out.

Crappy about the starter but that hair comment got me going! Lol!
I baked bread last night, first time since 1998!

How did the bread turn out? I never made beard before covid-19 to much time at home.

 

[Canuckush]

Turned out good, my wife is a patient teacher.

Happy Sunday everyone hope your having a relaxing day. This morning I am experimenting a bit with my morning dose of dust. Usually I take a heaping teaspoon and wash it down with water. Today I put the same dose on a piece of bread with peanut butter. It covered the taste nicely. The effects seem to come on faster and stronger this way I have to post my results here. Sun is shinning today got the yard cleaned up got a chicken on the BBQ rotisserie cooking right now.

Picked up a couple of tomato plants yesterday at Costco plan on hitting them with some mega crop soon.

Have great day grow on stay medicated!
