I miss making bread! I never did try sourdough. I love it though. If I could only choose 2 breads for the rest of my life, one would be sourdough, the other rye.
I do most of my breadmaking in a bread machine these days. It's good, but not nearly as fun as when I could still knead bread. There is something that satisfies the soul about the way bread changes under your hands as you knead it.
Wish I lived closer, Sharon, I would bring you some raisins! To dry here this year for black walnuts. The walnuts and hickory nuts were just dried up things inside the shells. Not good at all. I could bring you some of the apple butter I made last year - I still have a few jars in the freezer. Made it in the crock pot and it is GOOD!
Oh, well, looks like you won't have enough of that bread left to make bread pudding. Feed that starter so you can make more!
