Sourdough Attempt
Posted in bread, food, homemade, tagged baking, bread, food, homemade, sour dough, yum on January 28, 2008 | 3 Comments »
At first, I thought my attempt to make sourdough was going to be fruitless. I let the dough rise for a few hours and nothing was rising. My husband brought the dough back to life by mixing some yeast and warm water in a bowl, adding a little flour, and then needing the mixture [...]

According to the website, the starter is done when it is this bubbly and smells sour- check and check! It took me alot less time than I thought for the starter to be done. I only fed it once!! Now I am on to proofing! I added one cup of flour, one cup warm water and [...]

After my recent success with raisin bread it was only natural that I ride off on my high horse and attempt to make another one of my favorite breads-sourdough! Basically, its just one cup flour and one cup warm water, you mix it(not with a metal utensil, or in a metal bowl) and then the starter has [...]

I have almost done all my prep work for this quilt. In the beginning, I was going to have every square perfectly cut, but after the 3rd one things got a little messy… I think not having squares stepford wife perfect will give the quilt a more cozy, homey look-right?! Or am I just delusional? ))) [...]

Vanilla Extract

I thought I would give this a try- I managed to convince my husband to part with 250ml of his vodka (expensive brand/Christmas present) so I could make some vanilla extract. It is super simple, just take a cup of vodka, add a couple of vanilla beans-seeds and all, put in a jar and in just a [...]
