      @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.
