Who is going to finish all the tableau stuff then?

Getting 100% completion and earning the title of Intergalactic Champion on WipeOut Fusion. A game which is now 14 years old.

I quite like being able to speak Spanish.

I’m proud of my bread making at the moment

I’ve been getting seriously into bread-making lately.

You cracked a sourdough yet?

sexybum i can’t get my starter going right

Really?

Here’s what I did.
Got a large clean yoghurt pot - added 4oz flour 4oz water, stirred it up and stuck it on top of the fridge.
Repeated this for 4 or 5 days (discarding some if the tub was getting too full)
By the end of this it should be fairly sour smelling and frothy.

When I’m not using it for a bit I just stick it in the fridge - then take it out 24 hours before I need it and “feed it” 4oz flour/4oz water.

Yeah! Mrs_r got me a sourdough course for my birthday and I’ve been on it ever since

This is before I got the basket thing hence no nice concentric circles. Got one now.

I’ve got four!

What do you think is wrong with it?

It’s pretty hard to not get a working starter going as long as you give it enough time. In addition to what zx said above you can give it a kick start at the beginning by adding some organic washed grapes or a peeled apple.

I’ve got what I assume is a dead sourdough starter in a kilner jar on my kitchen counter. I think it might be two years since I last opened it. Find the constant needy feeding and the time-consuming proving not worth the effort, but maybe I should give it another try.

On a similar subject I made a brioche last week, which was nice. It’s just a shame I dropped it on the floor when I was putting it out to cool.

what a long course
