Cultured Stuff

Posted in Healthy Living

My husband especially loves sourdough bread and I think it's about time I bake some for him. Several months ago, I ordered a South African sourdough bread culture (specifically for whole wheat) and yesterday I finally started activating it. It's still in my dehydrator (85° F) growing. It instructions are not too clear (or maybe I'm just dense). Hopefully the culture will not rebel and behave as it should. If it works and if you want to drive over to my place, you are free to have some, lol. I like sharing my culture (pun intended), haha. Meanwhile I have several bottles of kefir grains (“Mama, you have a kefir grains farm!” my daughter exclaimed the other day when she saw the neatly lined bottles on the bottom shelf of the fridge) and if you want some, let me know. Once more you have to live near me. I've already parted with a couple and it seems such a waste to throw them away. Of course I can eat them, but somehow, I feel a mite odd eating the cruciferous looking grains . And no one else in my family want to take the challenge. Kefir grains are pretty good in smoothies though so maybe I'll just throw the extra grains in the blender soon. Don't you wish you live near me, lol? My next project will be kimchi. I love that stuff. My Korean TDK master's wife Cathy makes the best kimchi (sorry, mom). She is going to give me a quart soon. Yeah!

Okay, I better go and feed my sourdough culture now...it's pretty finicky and demanding and I need to do it just right!  But anything for my dear husband...
