Sourdough starter recipe.....
there is a good one on youtube just type in sourdough starter, click on (thebreadguy) its easy.... I would link if I knew how to

[MaryN]

Wow, S! I'm impressed with the recipes, particularly the one for chicken nuggets. I never thought of actually making them from scratch, and I can see the potential for all sorts of variations.

The bread recipe looks good too. I do make bread but do not usually add oil (except to pizza dough), but I suspect that your superior flour is the winner there.

I shall be cooking again this week!

When I was about 8-9 and the mortgage had to be paid ....every month our mam would announce " its cowboy food this week boys" me and 3 brothers.... one of my favourites corned beef hash cabbage broad beans all of which swam around in gravy, with doorstep rounds of home baked bread....still eat that one now ....you don't know what your missing ....try it.... you will be surprised what good old solid wholesome food tastes like.... with a hint of flatulence though...

[Franc]

flatulence was a money saver on the heating bills as well.

It was like that with us as well. The best bit was that was the food I enjoyed the most and still do. My mother prepped me for being a prepper. She still has a garage full of food.
