This is how I got my sourdough starter going. Of course there are plenty of ways to do a starter. I just thought I would give one a try with the un-pasteurized apple cider vinegar. If its good enough for the chickens, its good enough for me, hahaha!

GF Sourdough Starter

½ tsp. Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar
½ tsp. Molasses
½ tsp. Active Dry Yeast
1 cup Filtered Water
¾ cup GF Flour Mix​

Combine all ingredients from above. Cover lightly with cheesecloth. Don’t put a lid on it because it needs the air to breath and grow. Set inside the cupboard for 8-10 hours. Mixture will be bubbling up gently and will have a separated appearance.

½ cup Filtered Water
½ cup GF Flour ​

Stir into the original mixture.
FEEDING YOUR STARTER: Every 12 hours add ½ cup of GF Flour. Add ½ cup of Filtered Water every 2nd or 3rd time, depending on the thickness of the starter. After using part of your starter for baking feed it ½ cup of filtered water and ½ cup of GF Flour. Whisk well to combine.

Meet GG & Friend my latest critters added to my farm. they have both been doing a great job eating weeds around the place! Pole barn was finished on Sunday right before Saints kick off ! Busy weekend enjoyed it

Very cute!!!

Hey all...Need a HUGE favor:
Please keep baby Christopher in your prayers. He was born premature on Saturday (he is a little over 3lbs). He has heart problems that are still being diagnosed and no esophagus. He was taken off life support on Sunday and his parents were told he would pass shortly. He is still here. The reality is that there will be many more tears before this is over, however right now he is a MIRACLE. To add to the hardship, he is the couples first child. She just came to this country earlier this year and has no family other than her husband (who is one of the kindest people I know) she also speaks very little English.
Please keep them in your thoughts. He is just beautiful!

How very sad! I will keep them in my thoughts.

I don't think the taste will be that exotic. Eggs don't carry the flavor of the animal. Protein is protein but I have heard they are much richer. Thinking of raising ducks this spring.

And ingle wood does had them. I am part of their CSA. Not sure if they are selling them. Their duck boxes are awesome though. I'm go there today actually.

My Mother in law has gotten them for me from Inglewood a few times. I hardly ever seem to make it out there on Saturdays. They don't really taste any different than chicken eggs to me. Its just a bit stiffer texture.

Thank you. Will be trying that this week. I love bread of all kinds but wheat makes me sleepier than a Thanksgiving meal.

Your welcome! I use it for just about anything. For some things I do add a bit of Xanthan Gum though to help it hold up a bit better for the texture/structure if its a baked good.

Ok. Enough is enough. What in the world is going on?? What has happened to our crazy funny active thread?? H-E-L-L-O out there. Anybody there........(do I hear an echo???)?

Hey all...It has been such an emotionally draining day! When I was at the hospital to visit baby Christopher (he's in NICU) the nurses and doctors are being so wonderful. Even though we are not "family" because they have no one else in this country they are letting all the "aunts and uncles" in to support Juan and his wife. Words can't describe what it's like to walk in and witness a father holding his infant son with tears streaming down his face and the mother sobbing and touching her child's face. The nurses told me Christopher had been having heart "episodes" and it looked as though the end was near. I left them then, because a child's final moments should be with his parents, in peace. As of right now, the little guy is still holding on and fighting hard. Gosh, this is so hard.

Hi everyone,

I've been having internet problems. When I made the appointment with apple to fix it I had no idea they had just launched a new phone. That was a mad house.
Two hens are laying. Now just waiting on the rest. Did kuntrygirl fall in the wine vat or did she get caught with matches?

Maybe they should rhink of finding a different dr. My middle son (step) was 3 month premature and my hubby and his x wife got a different dr cause they told them the same thing. He is now 25 with three beautiful daughters of his own. Will definitely keep him in our prayers

I vote both...then the shrink fell and the chickens got hungry...

Maybe Satin's army has her held captive.
