Here we come a-bloggin'...

[asourceofjoy]

Somehow I think I have completely failed to mention here that Joe and I have a new joint blog here. There's not a whole lot there yet, but my tentative plan is to be posting there more often now. But no worries - I fully intend to still keep up with reading posts here on LJ, and you all on my friends list will still get to put up with my ramblings

I've visited already after seeing the link in Vol. 2, Dec. 2011 The Westbrook Weekly - Published one week a year. :-)

For some reason it will NOT let me comment on your kitchen entry from today. :-P It keeps saying my "credentials could not be verified" -- as though I were applying for a job or something. ;-)

Here's my comment:
I love homemade sourdough bread! We haven't kept a starter since we owned our restaurant, but our homemade sourdough bread/buns were a big hit there. I haven't tried it with the Friendship Bread recipe. That's not my favorite stuff in the world because I didn't like the texture of anything we made with it, plus it seemed rather high-maintenance and fast-multiplying for something I didn't enjoy. ;-) I'm glad you've found some recipes you enjoy with it!

That's weird it wouldn't let you comment! We haven't heard from anyone else having the same problem...hopefully it was just a temporary glitch.

Do you remember how your sourdough bread starter differed from the Friendship Bread starter, like what ingredients it had and so on? I wouldn't have tried the Friendship Bread again if I hadn't seen the variety of recipes on the site - I mean, I do like the sweet breads made with it, but there's no way Joe and I would ever go through that much sweet bread, lol. But we both really liked the biscuits and pancakes made with it. The biscuits especially had an amazing texture and flavor - very light and with a gentle sweetness, though not your typical flakey baking powder type biscuit.
