Hey, I got a box too!

[deb415611]

Sonny has been busy!  I received a box from him the other day too.  He was going to send me some starter and asked if there was anything from Texas that I needed........  I told him I couldn't get decent tortillas here and I bet they had them there.  So .......     some starter, tortillas, some cool fruit butters and some mexican candies.......



I have opened the starter and hmmmm  - it smells like starter  :D    Now to get it rehydrated and start using it.......

THANKS Sonny!!

Nice! Being from Cali, it's hard to imagine not having a good source for tortillas. Too many choices from competing local sources here. Wish you luck with the starter. Don't know what your water is like over there. Here, I can only use bottled water with it. If you have sourdough starters in the fridge, don't make rolls to bake the next day and put in the same fridge. I really do not understand the science behind that, but the 2 times I did that....not good. If I cover with plastic and store in the garage fridge, all is well as it has never had any sour starters in it.

Don't stop by Sonny's house unless you have a lot of room left to put stuff.  8)

Well a Special Lady deserves a special gift.

Hope you enjoy it and I will have the re-hydration instructions up soon.

Kinda had a hard time with this last one.

I always use bottled water for baking and my starter.


Thanks for the tip.  If I proof in the fridge I proof in the basement fridge,  the starter I have lives in the kitchen fridge so I should be all set. 

Have you had any problems with keeping two diffrent starters in the same fridge?

It's in water already  - I'm going to use the method I used for the starter I used.  It's been going strong for 3 or 4 years

I'll document as I go.  Hopefully I won't kill it

I havent.

When I do up a starter I do them a week apart (sourdough one week sweetdough the next)and proof on top the fridge or in the oven.

Cant do in the man fridge cause it smells like a sausage house (I like that) and the fridge in the garage is full of fresh eggs.

No room in the fridge in the smokin shed,,,,,,,,,its full of adult beverages and stuff.  ::)
