It’s my side of the mountain
I’ve got some sourdough starter in the refrigerator because I’ve been anxiously wanting to make bread ever since I watched Alton Brown make some on Good Eats the other night.

moooooooooother f……..
I’m getting closer.
Can I hit onederland by halloween? Maybe?
My stupid bread didn’t rise properly. I baked it but it’s so dense. It’s really salty too I’m wondering if that goes along with not rising. Nevertheless I threw out 90% of it. I had a slice with some smart balance but it really wasn’t anything to write to sisterchicks about. SIGH. I followed the recipe exactly but it just didn’t turn out. Bread. So fickle.
today:
lunch: LC Sesame Chicken
snack: Cucumber Slices
snack:sugar free pudding cup
dinner: LC Jumbo Rigatoni with Meatballs, 1 1/2 of those frozen wheat rolls.
snack (if you can call it that) 1 slice of miserable bread.
I’m not even going to weigh myself in the morning. My sodium is through the roof today.
DH and I are going to see Ben Folds tomorrow night. I’m excited about that but we’re meeting someone for pizza before the show. Maybe I’ll order a salad. D:
I used to have a breadmaker. It’s still at my mom’s house. I miss it. I want it. I forgot how hands-on making bread from scratch really is. It would have been worth it if it had have turned out but alas. Such is life. Wasted my entire day, too.
My new jeans are already a little loose on me. I probably should have waited.

Yay! You are getting closer for sure! And I LOVE Alton Brown and the Food Network in general!
I used to have sour dough starter in the fridge. I had a fabulous recipe! I know that I fed mashed potato flakes to the starter and it turned out a wonderfully moist, chewy bread that we loved. I added cheese, onion, cinnamon, and lots of other goodies sometimes.
It’s probably a good thing that I lost the recipe a long time ago.
