Sourdough Slacker

I'm not going to try to catch up. I have had a few photos, but I keep forgetting to send them!  You'd think it would be a habit by now! 

Here is the first rise of the second loaf.  It's a marvel to me how yeast reacts. The dough doubled in size in 12 hours!

After the second rise....

A fantastic second loaf of sourdough! We didn't cut into this one. I sent it home with Robin to enjoy and share. We'll see what they report about taste. The first loaf was tasty!  I was proud and a little surprised that I didn't wreck it somehow. And yes, it was definitely sour!

Shrinkage & Tina Bobeena

After checking on the starter in the morning, I saw that it had shrunk down to the amount when I first placed it in this giant pickle jar. I'm not exactly sure what happened or why it reacted the way it did, but here it is!  I smell pancakes and loaves of bread in our future!  

Tina visited the vet yesterday and came home microchipped and fixed. The cone stays on for another five days and she cannot go outside for another nine. Tilly cracks up every time she sees the cone. Evan loves to baby this little kitty and helped Tina try out a few different bowls to drink out of until they found one that worked. Andy promises that that Tina will be catching mice in no time. Promises. Promises.
