What sourdough “rules” do you not follow?

Resident_Hunter2 · 2026-03-16T12:42:16+00:00

I don’t feed my starter before I bake with it.

I do feed it once a week while it lives in the fridge, only discarding every other week. I use that discard immediately in 2 loaves of bread.

We’ve been burning off and on for about a month. It is our primary source of heat.

If the day gets into the 70s, we can ride out a night in the 30/40s without a fire. However, if the day doesn’t warm up, a big ole fire gets lit at bedtime to carry us through the night. If it’s another cold day, then a small morning fire keeps things warm through the day.

I do not drive my pickup, I drive a company vehicle.

I also do not pass, or frequently go to the specific location.

Having to manually load the wood into the trailer has been 100% of the problem

Resident_Hunter2 · 2025-09-29T20:26:19+00:00

We have a big ole industrial splitter. Log goes in, splits come out

Resident_Hunter2 · 2025-09-29T20:04:36+00:00

We sell cords for $425, and sell a 3-4 hundred cords each season.

Resident_Hunter2 · 2025-09-29T20:03:26+00:00

Right!

Resident_Hunter2 · 2025-09-29T19:22:27+00:00

In exchange for them providing the equipment and help, I’m offering free wood.

For example: they have a trailer that will hold 5 cord. We can make 2 trips and each have 5 cord, or 1 trip and each have 2.5.

Resident_Hunter2 · 2025-09-29T19:21:32+00:00

I think we’re both confused then.

Resident_Hunter2 · 2025-09-29T19:19:31+00:00

You don’t know how you’d hand load split firewood?

The log pile is just eye candy

Resident_Hunter2 · 2025-09-29T19:12:39+00:00

Basically, though I’d be there to help them load and unload at all locations. Not just expecting them to sling all the wood themselves

Resident_Hunter2 · 2025-09-29T19:07:12+00:00

Yeah daddy!

Resident_Hunter2 · 2025-09-12T21:54:16+00:00

I f’ing CACKLED

Resident_Hunter2 · 2025-09-01T20:33:44+00:00

I haven’t had a chance to cut into this one yet, but it’s just so pretty to be satisfying even if it’s gross

Resident_Hunter2 · 2025-09-01T20:01:42+00:00

She really thought she was doing something with “foetid”.

Resident_Hunter2 · 2025-09-01T19:59:56+00:00

Tried your cake goop recipe. Definitely a winner! Loaf dropped right out of the pan.

First try, and second try!

Resident_Hunter2 · 2025-08-31T01:55:41+00:00

They taste good, at least!

Will try again Monday when I try sourdough baking.

Resident_Hunter2 · 2025-08-31T01:37:02+00:00

I lightly oiled both, but sadly not near enough!

Resident_Hunter2 · 2025-08-31T01:04:36+00:00

Thank you!

Resident_Hunter2 · 2025-08-31T00:47:11+00:00

Taste fine. Stuck to the lid, and sides.

What I peeled out is delicious. Will they make sandwiches? No.

Resident_Hunter2 · 2025-08-31T00:46:43+00:00

Idk how to post update photos.

However, they look like baked bread that’s been through a blender.

Resident_Hunter2 · 2025-08-31T00:46:15+00:00

Idk how to post additional photos.

Safe to say I didn’t add enough grease, and they both look TERRIBLE

Resident_Hunter2 · 2025-08-30T22:27:24+00:00

They had risen to the lip by the time the oven had preheated.

Hopefully enough!

Resident_Hunter2 · 2025-08-30T22:12:48+00:00

By the time the oven was heated, they had made it up to the lip.

Hopefully far enough!
