• Migraine Misery

    I was awake and morning was nearly to Noontime. I felt a twinge in my left cheek area. Took excedrin. Decided to get my sneakers on and go outside, walk a bit. I did some walking and went inside as soon as my horrible hypermobile joints started up ooooouuuuuuuuuuuuwwwwwwwww. I can’t walk for long, just…


  • Sourdough White Spelt oblong sandwich bread

    Sourdough White Spelt oblong sandwich bread

    I made this bread a couple days ago. It turned out darker crust than I wanted, but it ended up fine. The middle 4 to 6 slices are are sooooo big. ๐Ÿ™‚ Nice toast, or Egg in a Nest. I gave the loaf a bunch of lame cuts, and it really presents wonderfully on slices.

    Feb 16, 2025 Sourdough Loaf

    One side and end lifted up but … my scores on each side really helped the loaf to be a bit better shaped when baked. I guess I’ll start just making oblong and round batard shaped breads for sandwiches.


  • Hypermobile fits

    I cannot confirm that I am hypermobile but I will say that: my lifetime of basically insanely fit-like flexible without exercising, the massive amounts of bone-sucking pain I’ve had to endure, the achy mornings after going to sleep fine, the achier mornings after going to sleep achy, the amount of Advil (Ibuprofen) I’ve ingested, the…

    Yellow Cake Sourdough Discard Cupcakes

    Sourdough discard recipe …. I let the flour, water, and discard ferment for many hours and put it in the fridge overnight. It was really risen even much more in the morning. The actual cake part is very delicious, soft and not crummy like normal cupcakes can be. My daughter said it was like bread.…


  • Sourdough Starter is ACTIVE

    Sourdough Starter is ACTIVE

    Reliable rise after feeding and later when taking some for something else, stir down, rises some more. Seems to double in about 4 to 6 hours. Started this morning with 120g starter, then fed 50g each water and flour. I do not know for sure if it is a 12 hour or 24 hour thing,…


  • Sourdough Starter seems to be working!

    Sourdough Starter seems to be working!

    I took 1/2 Cup of that starter above and made Sourdough Biscuits. They are still rising in my cast iron pan, inverted lid of my Dutch oven cast iron outdoor cooking pot. Yesterday I set some starter up from one of my small jars, trying to push different methods for something that WORKS. Things were…
