The Isolated Blurt Thread XXIX: No Whining

Went to see one of the fledgelings off to Europe. Post-911 send-offs are inadequate.
 
Recently I picked up Ken Forks' "Flour Water Salt Yeast" and started making bread at home. Early last week I started my own levain starter with rye flour, white flour, and water. Today I made my first levain bread with the starter - from the Pain de Campagne recipe in the book. It's got white and wheat flours, and uses a teeny bit of instant yeast in addition to the starter. Despite worries of over-proofing and under-proofing and generally screwing it up somehow, it turned out nice! Tangy "sourdough" flavor, chewy crust, soft and spongy crumb. Later this week I'm going to try the Overnight 40% Wheat bread recipe.

This is why you need to install the ScratchNSniff VB hack.

Nice!

You should ask Laurelle to move this post to Laurelle's food thread.

Your bread is beautiful! I'm going to start a new starter in the new place. Sourdough all the way.
 
Holy Crap!

Dudes!

"Warriors, come out to plaaaaaaayaaaaa!"

Was actually improvised. In that scene, he was only supposed to clink the bottles. The actor improvised the "Warriors...." part.
 
I think you are a lying liar who lies and I'm not sure how much longer I can not shout it.
