Started sewing patchwork Sally dresses over a decade ago and never stopped. Love to up-cycle & create things with whatever materials I have on hand (how this all started). I make all kinds of things in other media too, & draw, do henna body art & bake

Now they are shut down, at least temporarily due to the chaos and fear. So sad

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING
Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led
by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

I know starter can be kept in the refrigerator and re-awkened. I need to research the directions for that. also heard of people storing dried statrter! that would be ideal

same basic dough. I use about 500g flour to get a mini loaf of bread and 8 buns out of one batch

I never have wanted to bother with it but I see that I'm running out of yeast. otherwise I'd stick to what I already know. hopefully the starter will get going! I'm the type to forget to feed it

instant yeast, as long as it's relatively fresh, doesn't need to be proofed in the liquid ingredients first. can just mix into your dry ingredients and proceed with the mixing

looks good! I'm trying to make starter for the first time. it's day 3 and not doing anything at all

well that seems like a good sign! I'm making starter for the first time. it's day 3. trusting the process. it smells like...? not sourdough but not mold so that's good

nice! I'm just forcing myself to make a sourdough starter for the 1st time (running out of yeast for baking) & don't want to throw away flour mix every day. mine isn't "started" yet it's just a jar of flour sludge. day 3
