Here's the latest flat sourdough that I hurled into space (well, the back yard anyway.. ) this morning:
Darn things keep coming out flat. Just not rising enough. Talking with some folks on The Fresh Loaf website and they think I'm on the right track.. but still doing some trouble shooting on this.
Here's a shot of the Kombucha project.. the first one, not the second. This one is all bubbly in the bottle now, and tastes just FINE. *Really* fine, in fact.
The second version of the Kombucha monster is still churning in the jar downstairs, but really probably is done by now. Interested to see how that tastes, since I used Lapsang Souchong tea as the base.. heh.
Here's a pic of the jar of pickled eggs I made up a couple days ago, too.
Here's the recipe:
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup balsamic red vinegar
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 rings of onion (small onion)
- 1 clove of garlic
- tsp of crushed red peppers
- dash of all-spice/lawries stuff
- 3 glubs of hot sause
All but the all-spice and hot sause brought to a boil then cooled. Add to 6 hard boiled eggs after. Easy as that. Only reason I used balsamic vinegar is I just didn't have *quite* enough white vinegar to do the job.. and now the whole project is a deep red color. Curious. We'll see how that works out, as I've never pickled eggs before and have no idea if I even will like them.
Speaking of eggs, this is becoming a pretty typical sight for a morning:
Four large eggs, ranging from 52 to 57 grams per egg. This is the girls' collecting bucket.. they like it, and keep them from breaking the eggs in their hands while trying to open the doors to bring the eggs inside. Kids are funny like that.
