      And this is my new Sourdough starter.  Though I give it so much attention, Paula calls it my new pet….

              My first Sour Dough loaves.  Made with the starter I started about 10 days ago.

              Yep, I'm feeling smug….

                              Good effort G, sourdough can be temperamental! Remember to feed your starter regularly, and keep it in the fridge if you want to slow down the fermentation - I feed my white every 4 days, but rye-based ones need more frequent attention

                                Wrong. That would make it sweeter.

                                  Awesome G.  Gotta love having your own culture going for sourdough, it really is the gift that keeps on giving…

                                    Yep, got the wholemeal in the fridge at the moment.  Will come out tonight so that it is really active when Sarina and I make the sponge on Friday night.

                                    Going to start a Rye starter tonight…

                                            Whole wheat pasta, olive oil, carrots, spinach, parsnips, purple tomatillos from the garden, heirloom tomatoes, onions, celery, sweet peppers, green onions, whole almond, apple, zucchini, and a semi-random cocktail of several varieties or extremely hot peppers.…. Almond butter/tahini for topping.

                                            Tried parsnips for the first time! Mmmm………..
