I've got to feed mine, he's called Bertie by the way. Now I have named him I will have to feed him, or be done for neglect

Mine is named after my sister because it was born on her birthday. Also, it makes such a face when it’s hungry!

See the anger?! My sister is psychotic too!

Good morning Marie Hope life is treating you well . My issues are still bothering me and now I have a new problem. On Monday I was collecting eggs and on my way back and started up the steps when my right knee gave out. I fell backwards and landed on the ground, catching myself with my left hand. I broke my hand in two places. I had surgery on Friday, they put a metal plate and pins in my wrist. Needless to say, it hurts a lo, but I'll get through it like I get through everything else. Thank you for asking about me.

Wow, I had no idea that happened. I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Jared

So you have moved Debs? That must have been hard, I dread having to move. I could never move my coup and my cat would more than likely run off, he loves it here

Congratulations on your new home

Thanks Marie, I moved about 5 weeks ago

1 cup sifted cake flour

Sooooo... what would happen if I used a gluten free flour? Or even almond flour? I'm sure it wouldn't be a light, fluffy cake, but I wonder if it would be edible. Might just have to try it. If I do, I'll report back.

It isn't a light fluffy cake. I don't worry about gluten because my body craves gluten.

I meant to say, once established, sourdough doesn’t die. Feed it once, and it comes back. Freeze it, and it still lives.
