Since moving back to Wisconsin, it is a green plant. It hasn't bloomed for 6 years ... at least it is still alive.

Has it REALLY been six years since you moved back? Wow, I remember when you were in Wyoming dreaming of moving back!

My oven has a well in the bottom, I pour a cup of water directly in the bottom of the stove. But WEAR A GLOVE! The water will turn to steam immediately!

Yes! be very careful adding the water

My zygocati moved with me throughout the years. It was a Christmas cactus that I got the start from, and bloomed at Christmas time for 2 years. Then I moved it from my office - where I got it from- to my house and it bloomed at Christmas and Easter that year. Then it was an Easter cactus for 5 years until I moved to Wyoming and it became an Easter through summer cacti - blooming from last March to September -with a few random blossoms at Christmas time. Since moving back to Wisconsin, it is a green plant. It hasn't bloomed for 6 years ... at least it is still alive.

Is that the plant that has to go into a closet for a while to get it to bloom?

Well, I got to reading about sourdough, both regular and GF, and never made the plain ol' GF bread. But I do have a sourdough question....

What do you all do with the starter that you discard? Throw it in the compost? Make something with it? Feed it to the chickens? Can you save it up and make crackers or cookies or waffles or pancakes?

I feed it to the chickens and make sourdough brownies. For some reason my chickens love goop, so they just devour sourdough starter if I give them some.

I have a hard time throwing it away, so I currently have about five jars of starter percolating merrily in my fridge. I'm thinking of putting an ad in my local paper and seeing if I can sell it .... I know, I'm a dope.

There's only the two of us so I can't bake two big loaves of sd bread every couple of days, although The Man really does enjoy it. We like it with extra sharp cheddar, makes a great snack.

You don't need to make bread every 2 days and why do you have any to throw away? Feed one, use the others until you are down to just one. Of course you'll have to feed the one you are using prior to using it.

I use my Genesis SDS once a week. Take out what you need....feed it ...let it rise and place it back in
refrigerator until you bake again. I NEVER THROW OUT....use,feed, back in the refrigerator. It works.You can leave in refrigerator just stir for two weeks. Happy Sourdough baking. Aria
