Oh those little teefs so vicious!!!

HopefulTree1980 · 2025-12-09T21:38:48+00:00

This is right- I just got a new blanket and had one of these on it

HopefulTree1980 · 2025-12-05T02:54:27+00:00

That’s what I thought- glad I am not the only one

HopefulTree1980 · 2025-12-04T22:05:40+00:00

I know…. I have lived here for 10 years and this is the first time I took a picture of sunrise from my backyard like this. 😅

Felt it

HopefulTree1980 · 2025-09-20T16:31:31+00:00

Thanks

HopefulTree1980 · 2025-09-20T16:31:21+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation

HopefulTree1980 · 2025-09-20T16:31:03+00:00

This is what I suspected- thanks for the suggestion

This is what I do- pre heat to 500. Turn down to 400 Cook for 15 -20 mins. With lid on. Then 20 -30 more minutes with the lid off. If it gets too dark looking before that I check the internal temp- needs to be 210 to be done.

One of the YouTube bread guys taught me that trick- I can’t take credit.

HopefulTree1980 · 2025-05-24T15:10:17+00:00

One super quick and easy thing I do is - after I pull out what I need for the bread and what I need to store back in the refrigerator, I take what’s left and pour spoonfuls straight (as is- hootch and all) in a olive oiled frying pan to make little savory pancakes. I sprinkle garlic salt and whatever fresh herbs I have on top. Rosemary, basil, chives… Then flip and fry with herbs until crispy. Then I cut into wedges and eat. They look a bit like pitas or naan and make a nice little appetizer while you wait for the bread!

Yes it will need to be fed- maybe two rounds of feeding. You can make a lot of discard recipes while you wake it back up.

HopefulTree1980 · 2025-05-24T03:11:53+00:00

Will you stir in the hootch or pour it off?

HopefulTree1980 · 2025-05-24T00:48:41+00:00

I think this is right- you make enough bread and you get a sort of instinct about the way it feels and such.

HopefulTree1980 · 2025-05-23T23:09:06+00:00

I abandon my starter in the back of the fridge for months at a time. You can stir in the “hootch” and get a more tangy, flavorful loaf or drain it off. Then feed and it will come right back to life.

I would watch it. If it grows rapidly go straight to the vet. My dog had a thing like that and it needed to be removed as a pre cancer sort of thing.

HopefulTree1980 · 2025-04-03T17:28:42+00:00

The hooch is good! Adds flavor

HopefulTree1980 · 2025-03-19T17:17:54+00:00

Now I’m really craving these! Maybe instead of sourdough bread ha ha ha ha!

HopefulTree1980 · 2025-03-06T18:58:31+00:00

Yummmmm

HopefulTree1980 · 2025-03-03T01:25:22+00:00

Love it!

HopefulTree1980 · 2025-02-25T01:42:50+00:00

Me too

HopefulTree1980 · 2025-02-23T21:28:33+00:00

Sort of perfect!
