Good for these ladies. I would bet they have helpers and drivers and possibly live in a nursing home. It's not for everybody.

Here’s the bread I made yesterday. Sourdough just came out. Two more loaves of white bread in the oven, then I’m done.

And the sourdough bread recipe was already posted. I was going to make wheat bread, but I seem to have lost my wheat grinder in the move.

THANKS JARED....so nice you posted recipes.
Your Breads look FANTASTIC. Thanks for sharing. Aria

I rely a lot on parchment paper, too late for that nugget of wisdom I know, but..makes life easier.. If they don’t come out right away, maybe leaving them a bit will cause moisture to build up from the bottom, and you can get them out..

I have started using Parchment Paper ...much easier.
No Pans to grease and wash. Aria

Next Tuesday morning might be cool enough to contemplate baking again. DH even passed on having garlic bread on spaghetti night, as he didn't want to use the oven.

Everyone's bread looks so tasty. I think I'll make me a GF machine loaf tomorrow. At least that doesn't require an oven!

Tomorrow is my anniversary. I’ve been alone for 6.5 years. I’m almost done with a bottle of wine because being alone hurts! I can’t have closure because of the way it didn’t end.

I have to agree with R2elk.

My husband has a half empty glass.

Therefore I have to keep a half full glass to keep my spirits up.

If I were in your place, I make plans for that date every year and make the plans so they cannot be easily broken.

@BullChick Don't put yourself in a position for gloom and doom.

Take care of yourself.

Say Hi to Billy Bob, y'all! According to some of the info @ronott1 sent me, this Oregon Trail Sourdough Starter originated right here in Missouri somewhere back around 1847. So it should be real happy here!

When I was supposed to feed it 1 Tbsp of potato flakes, I found I didn't have any plain ones. So I boiled some little ones (with no salt), mashed 'em with a fork, cooled them and used that along with a Tbsp of the cooking water. I could have used the potato cooking water instead of plain water but ... I had already used warmish bottled water before I realized that. I TOLD you I was doing everything wrong, lol!

ETA: I used 1 Tbsp. of the mashed taters.

Hi Billy Bob.

You need to work real good for @BigBlueHen53 she to be able to have her bread.

I keep mine in the same type of jar, only my jar doesn't have the rubber gasket. Maybe that is why my Herman goes bad after ignoring it for 2 months in the back of the fridge...

I think I got my replacement gaskets from Amazon.

Bakers it looks like you have been very busy making baked goods.

Have a great day!

I read something that said that dough is ready when, if you tap it, it springs back slowly like someone waking up from a nap. If it springs back fast like someone turning after they're tapped on the back, it's not ready. If the tap doesn't spring at all, it's overproofed and the person is dead

Lol, I love it! Thanks.
