Any Home Bakers Here?

I think I will join Aria. This place is not for me.

Wait, are you leaving too?

Thanks, Bruce! I did not bake today, but I did do something I've been wanting to do for a long time. I made yogurt! I haven't in ages because my fridge keeps filling up with eggs! But I finally remembered that if they are not washed, they don't have to be "refrigenated!" So I have six dozen eggs on a shelf in the basement (not all mine, I've become a distributor, lol!), and I did THIS today:

Fourteen and 1/2, half-pint jars of yogurt. I will wash the eggs the night before they are to be sold, possibly tomorrow night, and then they will go in a cooler overnight. Yay, yogurt!

I used to make yogurt too and loved doing it!

For me and The Man. We really like yogurt, lol. We'll each eat one a day, so this is about a week's supply. He eats it plain. I drizzle a little maple syrup on mine. Real maple surple.

Also a fan of real maple syrup. We use to have a big syrup festival each spring to celebrate locally made syrup and I'd get a whole gallon. It would last until the next spring and I'd get another gallon. Yum!!

Raw honey is also wonderful drizzled over yogurt.

Then you should have got yourself safe and called for an ambulance.. and the police. That person was ill, and needed help! it is classed as a medical emergency.
I dont know if you are joking or not but I dont find anti mental health stuff very funny. This is why some people put off getting help, because of the lack of understanding and judgement from people who have no idea what it's like to be ill like them. That makes them hide it, and that is a very bad thing to have to do.
I think I will join Aria. This place is not for me.

I had no way of knowing that you were taking my post that way. I would’ve responded differently had I any clue.

Thank you so much. I’m probably going to donate part of my room to a stack of feed bags.

That's where mine are kept.

Right!!

I will wash the eggs the night before they are to be sold

Who do you sell to? I know everyone I sell to and they know I don't wash the eggs. They can choose to wash them if they like. As you (a chicken owner) know, they usually come out of the hen clean as a whistle. As long as they lay in a clean nest (ie the girls don't sleep in them) there is nothing to wash off.

Real maple surple

Which, by legal definition, is the only kind If it isn't 100% real maple syrup it can't be called "maple syrup". They can call it "maple flavored syrup", "breakfast syrup" or "pancake syrup".

I was raised on what USED to be called maple syrup then I moved to VT after college and had the REAL stuff. I won't touch the corn syrup stuff. If I'm at a restaurant and they don't have the real deal there will be no pancakes, waffles, french toast, etc on my plate unless they have a fruit syrup. Otherwise I grudgingly choose a dish with egg factory offerings.

When IHOP opened here they had to get permission from corporate to have real maple syrup available (extra charge of course) because lots of people here won't touch the fake stuff. Not a good way to get people to come to the restaurant.

I made a lovely ginger cake a few weeks ago and lost my way back in here, AGAIN.

I didn't have molasses at the time and just used honey to sweeten.

I used 1 egg flour, bicarbonate soda salt powdered 5 teaspoon of ginger a teaspoon of slippery elm a little warmed water yogurt and olive oil

I now have molasses and will send in a picture when I make my friend his cake for Easter.

Lol, I sell to people who like my nice clean eggs! Seriously, I keep my nests clean and my own eggs usually are nice and clean. But I also sell eggs I get from another lady who is elderly and ... well let's just say I won't sell dirty eggs.

Then maybe you don't need to wash the eggs before you pass them to the buyers. Once washed they MUST be refrigerated since they no longer have the "bloom" barrier to bacteria.
