Just fead my #sourdough starter and absent-mindedly threw the discard in the garbage (which is what I usually do). I was planning on making biscuits with it.

Guess I'll be making midnight biscuits instead (after my next scheduled feeding).

These things happen 😆 On Friday I had my ingredients weighed out and ready to go. Got distracted and forgot to add starter to my dough.


Now that I've got a decent handle on making my own #sourdough.* I'm setting my sights on #kombucha next. Obviously, this needs to be done from scratch as well.

* I'm competent, but by no means have I perfected the art.

@BirdBird I am slightly concerned about the possibility of giving myself botulism, but hey...

The worst thing you'll have to worry about is mold. If you buy a scoby in liquid online (or have a friend who makes kombucha and has a spare) the risk is minimal.

You Brew Kombucha on YouTube is how I learned. I recommend checking her out.

Have fun fermenting!



No wonder this #sourdough biscuit recipe is so delicious. It's almost 1/4 butter by mass (23.9%).


Trying to ferment my #sourdough a little longer today. The recipe says it should increase in size by 50%, but I always have such a hard time judging that.


I draw the line at using bottled water to feed my #sourdough starter. They did this in ancient times; they didn't have Dasani back then.

I used to filter it but now use water straight from the tap and didn't notice a difference
