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

Apple Cake
Culinary Arts Institute Encyclopedic Cookbook

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 will have to feed him, or be done for neglect

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

I didn't know you could freeze it. I was trying to figure out how it was dried, that surprised me as well. But I should of guessed about the drying because Ron shared an interesting story on how archeologist found preserved wheat.

Still learning here
