Sourdough Bread Using My Own Wild Yeast Sourdough

My husband is usually the one to make bread. Go figure right? I saw online how to make wild yeast sourdough starter. I thought "hey, I might as well try it." So, here's the pix. Tell me what you think :)

The first few days I didn't see anything going on, but here it is on day 4.


Here is the dough after only 4 cups of flour put in and rising for a few hours.


Here is the kneaded, shaped and scored dough :)


Here is a picture of the baked bread with a small piece cut out.


This was such a fun experience. I really think the only reason why I was able to successfully make this is because it took the pineapple juice that inhibited bad bacteria growth. Here is the link to the sourdough starter.

I've been told it will taste more sour as your sourdough ages. Yeah!

your bread looks really good, nothing like what my blob of goo looked like. :D I think you have inspired me to try again. What kind of pineapple juice did you use? I am pretty sure Dole brand is mostly devoid of any nutrients.

Thanks! I used whatever was cheaper. Rofl! I think it was the Meijer brand which honestly is probably the same thing as Dole. Who knows. I believe it's the natural enzymes in the pineapple that help with this .... I'm still new to why it works, I just know that it did. I'm making sourdough pancakes today.

My Adult Tonsillectomy Story

Post Surgery as soon as I arrived home. For anyone who really knows me, I have always been completely terrified of surgery.  So when I went to an ENT and he said I needed a tonsillectomy I was not very happy.  I found out in either January or February and I couldn't make my appointment till the end of June because that's when my husband could get off work to help out.  I wrote this so I could hopefully help someone going through the same thing.  Without further ado, here goes. Week Before Surgery: This is when I started purchasing everything I had seen online that might be helpful.  I also started setting up an area on the main floor where I could be inclined for sleeping and have everything at my finger tips.  At the bottom of this post I will have a list of items that I personally found helpful for my recovery.  I also have food allergies and tried to stay away from them as much as possible.  So my food options may seem different than ma...

Gardening tips on a budget

Matt planting our $5 tree. It's 3 years old now and is gorgeous!!! A variety of basil panted in a container. Our lovely calendula. This is a family favorite grown from seed. Cherry tomatoes. Squash Another variety of basil. That was just a bit of what I grew a couple years ago. Bean plant. Lovely lavender! Many times I've wanted to plant a massive garden or have several plants I could simply not afford. Not just that but other things such as mulch, weed blankets and more. I hope you find the tips below as helpful as we have. Please feel free to add your own gardening tips. 1. Purchase trees at the end of the season. We've gotten a few trees for $5 and $10 at the end of the season. We planted them and they've done just fine! Talk about a huge savings! You can also do this with bulbs and other plants. :) 2. Use newspaper for weed barrier protection instead of the weed blankets. You'll want to do this fairly thick; anywhere from 5...
