I discovered on Wednesday that I was almost out of yeast.......... I had been wanting the container and measuring spoon from King Arthur Flour for some time and after checking the budget I found that I could order it this week. SAF yeast is the best........ It rises so much better and is so much easier to use...... The measuring spoon is 2 1/2 teaspoons which is one packet of yeast......... Now to find time to make some bread or rolls this weekend.


I also got the sour dough starter (over 250 years old).............. Can you imagine keeping something alive that long?........... I got the crock to keep it in.......... Since Robert and Rebekah got me the Italian Bread pan I can now try a few loaves of that and also make some sourdough bread..........


Someone is looking at the house today and someone else is coming on Sunday. We had the house all clean and shiny from the people that looked at it on Wednesday. That is why I made the bread............ It makes the house smell so good.

This morning I baked some cookies to make it smell inviting. Perhaps this is the year we will sell and move..........Prayers appreciated...............

    I've had the King Arthur starter for about 8 years now and it's still going strong! I don't even remember to feed it like I should, but it doesn't seem to mind. I have the old crock they used to have from Ransbottom Pottery that is tan and blue. I got it with my first starter from them, close to 15 years ago. That starter lasted until I moved to NJ from NY...I gave it away before I left. Enjoy it...it makes great bread. Try their Rustic Sourdough, it's delicious! http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/rustic-sourdough-bread-recipe

    I've never noticed either of those things in the King Arthur catalog. I would love to have both. How much yeast does it hold? I buy mine through our co op and it's a pound bag.

    I love that crock! I can't imagine keeping the starter going so long! I will have to check out the web site, I have looked at it in the past but haven't looked for awhile.

    Your baked goods look delectable. I love King Arthur and your sour dough crock is very cute. I have done sour dough off and on over the years, but sadly let mine die. Maybe I'll go to their website and get started again. Hope this is your year to sell your house, I'll say a prayer for you.
