      Biscuits (done right), are buttery, and delicious. I know this doesn't make them appeal to Seul, but a little lard is often the secret to greatness.

      Lard is the secret to greatness. That should be chiseled in marble @sabergirl .  😘 Makes for good fried chicken as well.

      Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
      Well, I have others.

        @Giles:

        A while ago, I knew that I was not going to have time to make sourdough on a regular basis, nor keep the "starter" alive.  So I put it in the fridge to keep it dormant for a "couple of weeks", that was at least 6 months ago.  My little sis is staying with us at the moment and requested that I made sourdough, so we got the starter out, fed it a couple of times and hey presto it fired back into life, here is the very active sponge I made with it overnight.

        I need to find out what any of this means. Intrigued.

          I'd love to create a starter from your neck of the woods Neph, I bet it would have a completely different character than the Goz Vegas one I grew here….

            That link is great, thank you. I think that creating a starter up at the cabin might be a winner.

                          Looks lovely. I learned to bake (with shop bought yeast) for the first time about 6 years ago in rather interesting circumstances (which I may divulge in person). I've now graduated to assorted traditional Norwegian sweetbreads, but never thought about sourbreads until now. I'm looking forward to trying this out.

                              After I mentioned the production of  "Gueuze Lambics" to a friend, he handed me the book ‘Cooked,’ by Michael Pollan with the sections  “Fire,” “Water,” “Air” and “Earth”.
                              Air section was fun to read.

                              The Finex stuff looks great.

                                    Initial impressions - awesome piece of ironmongery designed to last a very long time. The handles are stunning and I've never seen such deep ridges on a grillpan, makes my le creuset look and feel very puny…

                                    Planning to baptise it with a cote de boeuf tomorrow night, let you know how it fares.
