Well it ain't quiet here, I've got a major mal-function going' on with a sourdough rye bread. I've got to go up stairs and decide if I can save it, or if I have to disspose of it. And I am afraid at this point it ain't leavin' the kitchen quietly. An hour ago it looked and felt like grey silly putty, but it moved on it's own.

If you don't ever hear from me again call the Hazmat Team and Animal Control, it may take both of them.

The other night I decided ta try your cornbread recipe in the current "Shootist". I forgot to put in the leavening agent.

It didn't turn out the best. I'll have ta try it again and use all the ingredients.

How do you fix a malfunction in something what ain't got no movin' parts?

What can you possibly fix or adjust or replace?

You know what just popped into my mind? Remember the surprise cake from the Little Rascals? Weeeeep, WoooooooooooooooooooooW, Weeeep, Woooooooooooooooooooooow. That rye dough is probably crawling all over the kitchen sorta like the Blob...........Buck

If it starts crawling up Delmonico's arm, we may have to amputate it to save him.

Ok, I'm safe.

Was gonna make rye bread today, started a sponge last night, didn't have any white flour so since I was makein' rye bread I thought I would just use the rye flour and get white today. Looked in the bowl and it looked like my new starter had problems. Not enough gluten in the flour, it was like silly putty, but it moved. It is in the garbage right now, outside. Biscuits fer supper I guess.

Did you remember to put the lid on the garbage can, then a brick on the lid? It might crawl out in the middle of the night and get you.

Na the cold will keep it under control, it got to 61 today, but thats the end of it. Won't get over 40 tommorow and snow on Sunday, the garbage man comes on Monday.

If it was warm it might get the garbage man. GG and I did a 'spearmint one time with bread dough with lots of yeast and 105 in the shade. Put a piece the size of a golf ball in a empty tomato can.

Oh and the pizza crust that almost ate the town of Naper NE.

The first time I took some of my start campin with my kids,
guess it got a little close in the "ice box" and it 'sploded all over the inside. My kids just thought it was soo funny.

But i scooped it up and next morning we had sourdough cakes by an open fire in Grants Grove. The kids ate 15-20 dollar size cakes each...(and they started by sayin "we don't much line hotcakes..."

When they come to visit now, I make cakes for him and alll 5 of his kids...thats a lot of griddle time.

Not twice a week!

I bathe every June when the water in the rain barrel is warm enough. Then I get a shower every time it rains. Beyond that I just don't see the need.

I was trying to but two of the ingredients were on the same line so I missed the second one which was the leavening agent.

Hey Del, Your failed rye bread didn't eat the trash guy today did it? remember, it was inthe trash can.........Buck

$:-\$

Delmonico · « **Reply #254 on:** February 07, 2005, 07:05:42 PM »

Don't know why both ended up on the same line, typo at the printers? Just change the name ta corn pone and it will be alright. Got some I made in April that ain't got no leavin', no shortnin' no eggs or white flour. Still as good as the hardtack from the same time. Me and GG did a lecture on Civil War rations.

I'd thought that Civil War study group a would a jumped right in and tried them, I tolt them they could.

Did ya try the Steak Recipe Slim, course to many a them and ya'd have ta change from Slim!

Buck, the temp dropped, it was safe fer the garbage man. Don't know about the City Dump when the weather gets warm.

Did you know that biscits made with bad starter can be used by the blacksmith enstead of coal.

Delmonico · « **Reply #256 on:** February 07, 2005, 10:24:50 PM »

Hey there were nothin' wrong with them biscuits 5 days before we burned them. The bacteria part of the starter that makes the acetic acid and the lactic acid out of the carbohydrates was just fine. The yeast that farts out the CO2 to make the bread rise in yeast bread was just not healthy.

However a really good starter when fed well will be crawlin' out of the cupboard tryin' to get the wifes cat.

OOOOOps none a the CAS-City folks will want to ever eat sourdough again. Course I had that one that almost ate the State Fair.

The "corn pone" was rather moist, but tasted good.
Haven't tried the steak recipe yet, but fried pork chops in butter. They sure were good.
