The Drunken Loaf

Did I forget ... homeschooling? Anyway, set to mail out another round of starter. To keep it organized, I'm using Paypal to track where to send stuff. Don't feel obligated to send me any money ... we are OK for now. $1 for postage is fine. I have a "free" option at 1 penny because Paypal won't let me actually do free. And if you want to pay it forward, there's a $10 option. Will be popping these in the mail tomorrow. Take care of yourself, everyone!

Sorry I been MIA, peeps. One of the major inevitable side effects of prolonged FB usage is angst, despair, slight depression due to the content designed to aggravate & provoke without providing any real solutions.

So .... still have a tickle in my throat but I'm 99.5% sure it's allergies. If I'm still fever-free, etc by next weekend, I'll resume mailing out starter. It's hard to track down all the requests so I'll be posting a web page with Paypal links with options ranging from $0.01 (a penny .. PP won't let me have a free option) to a pay-it-forward option to help cover modest costs. Whatever people wanna do, no sweat. I'll be doing a live bake this weekend, one round/one sandwich l...oaf, streamed on FB. Here's the tentative schedule: Sat 7am-ish: discard & feed starter to refresh Sat 8pm-ish (live on FB): build leaven (200g), be sure to save a little to rebuild the starter Sun 9am-2pm (-ish, depending on state of leaven, live on FB): mix dough, 1st rise, shaping, etc Mon 8am (live on FB): bake! See y'all soon!

Hi everyone, so I have a little tickle in my throat, a little coughing -- probably just allergies --- but to be safe, I'm going to skip the starter hand-out for tomorrow. Planning to do a bake at the end of the week & hope to see y'all soon.

So my current plan is to package starters on Sunday as I'm finding doing it during the week is fairly disruptive to homeschooling with our son. I'm tentatively planning to live-stream a bake next Fri/Sat.

And we’re done!

The final bake!
