Sourdough
Continuing with the cooking theme... The onset of fall always puts me in a domestic mood. This fall, I decided to give sourdough baking a try. I always wanted to try it, because I love sourdough bread but I don't like paying $4-5 for it at Albertsons or Safeway. (It's flour and water! How can it cost $5???) I tried to find a sourdough starter by asking around to see if anyone already had one that they would be willing to share, but nobody would admit to it! Finally I found some instructions on how to make my own starter, and it was WAY simpler than I ever thought it would be! I made some sourdough pancakes last week

Awesome Heidi! Your cooking is inspiring! It all looks and sounds so good!
Does this mean we're having sour dough rolls instead of biscuits this year?
I got a new kind of yeast that has been working really well for me, so maybe you ought to give it another try! ;)
I made sourdough french bread once and it took all day. You have to keep "pestering" the dough every 45 minutes or something. It was a lot of work, but it was really good. I love your menu. How creative!
