Are you saying your mom's recipes come out better than mine?

Oh, it is so ON now!!!

LOL Oh, no, my mother never even made sourdough bread! LOL I mean words somehow don't come out the way we mean them to.

Oh no, your imagination is right up my alley....perhaps that is scary?

Yeah, right. You've just tried declaring yourself the master baker around here.

I think we should all have a bake-off and decide the winner.

(I will sabotage MouseWife's batch by adding a lot of bacon extract.)

(Oh, wait, that'd make it win with these folks. Damn... need new nefarious plan...)

(Crap, I think I've stated these thoughts out loud...)

MouseWife · 06-18-2008, 11:07 PM

Did you say, master baker?

Disneyphile · 06-18-2008, 11:07 PM

I may have, yes...

MouseWife · 06-18-2008, 11:10 PM

I once declared my daughter the 'master baker' of the house and her then boyfriend almost died laughing. I think he may have misunderstood what I said.....

I think, sadly, I would lose at a bake off. Haven't you ever heard the stories of my cooking?

I'm sorry if I misinterpreted you, but your post came across to me like you were making an outrageous claim to try and "prove" how much better your sourdough is. In other words: a silly attempt at one-upsmanship.

No two starters are the same, and determining who has the better starter is a matter of taste, nothing more. IMO, age does not guarantee a better flavor. Flavor comes from the particular combination of yeast and bacteria in the starter. (And that can change over time.)

For what it's worth, I thought Promo-Man's post to be a rather cute and flip 'history' of his starter- and I think his family lore would probably fit in quite well with mine, which tends to blur and outright ignore the historically factual lines of demarcation. Were he a member of my family, Gen. Pershing's great-grandmother's sister-in-law would have initiated the starter. (Or Daniel Boone's wife).

Sweet Baby Jaysus,

Remind me never to give you LoT a box of matches - if sourdough can ignite this length of thread, you folk could fair burn down the barn !!!

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

Not Afraid's sourdough starter came over on the Mayflower.

She wins.
