This one made me laugh despite the sad times for the captured and almost released bird - data collection on that one could be completed and finished off pretty quickly. The children probably found his quick demise a very interesting event in the day. I hope your dental work is settling down.Jayne Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01531659668595845416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-66159481369674108422014-11-03T18:45:39.821-08:002014-11-03T18:45:39.821-08:00@Sue
I could use someone to hold my hand right now...@Sue<br />I could use someone to hold my hand right now (it didn't go well). I hope you're on the mend.<br /><br />@Bernice<br /><br />Thank goodness I'm not the only one that names their starter. Whew! There's an interesting Christmas cake I made with sourdough starter one year<br />http://eattheblog.blogspot.com/2010/11/sourdough-fruitcake.html<br /><br />It wasn't the *best* Christmas cake ever, but it was a novel use of starter if lestyn is feeling left out of the festivities. <br /><br />@Helga<br />When you first have a starter, it needs continual use to grow stronger, so you bake an ungodly amount of bread. After the freezer is filled, you end up giving a lot of bread away as it is impossible to keep up. In the first three years I think everyone I know was supplied with fresh bread on a regular basis. Eventually though, the starter will get to the point where it requires less feeding (like a baby) so you can neglect it (like a teenager). If you know anyone that bakes, they can give you a blob of established starter so you can skip the boring baby years and get straight to the, "Turn down that record player!" years. It does make good pancakes, and onion ring batter. I'd send you a blob in a jar if I thought they'd let it through customs (they won't). <br />You can have whine without bread, but I need Thou!Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-69466138286693286592014-11-03T15:07:10.420-08:002014-11-03T15:07:10.420-08:00Those are some good looking brussel sprouts! I'...Those are some good looking brussel sprouts! I've only recently discovered that I quite like them! Roasted, preferably.<br />Happy Birthday to Chuffy! That's a fine achievement. I keep whining about making bread, but considering I don;t eat a lot of it, I guess it's ok that I haven't progressed beyond the whine!<br />Beans rock my world. I am a keen bean fan, usually eating some variety of everyday...they are the BEST, and so versatile! MMMM. Wish I had some for lunch today. Maybe tomorrow! Big tins of beans excite me. Yeah!
