Real potatoes for the win! Though yeah, they do take time. But if you are looking for mashed, cut them small and they boil in like 20 min. You can make a hash with parboiling and then baking or frying on the stove in less than 40 minutes, too. I get that it’s not nearly as convenient as instant...

Happy Friday, EBers!

Baking!! 😊

I stretch it much longer! 7 days is what I aim for, but generally I sometimes go up to 2-3 weeks. I do try not to go longer than that, but have gone up to 2 or months (in which case, you’ll definitely get a hooch forming because the starter will get so hungry).

It sounds like you’ll be fine! I’m glad you know about keeping the starters in the fridge. I’ve gone probably a good 2-3 long, dark months of no sourdough baking with the starters in the fridge and have always been able to bring them back just fine.

Hi fellow 49ers fan!

Okay, @DuranDuran, it actually sounds like you already fed it (sorry, I got so excited at you mentioning you have a starter that I apparently didn’t properly read your post). When did you feed it? It might be a bit sluggish getting back to its normal self. But don’t give up! I would keep it on...

First question, was it kept on the counter, or in the fridge? Either way, discard and feed like you were before. In all likelihood, it’s very hungry, and feeding it will bring it back to its former hopefully bubbles and fun self! Of course, if it has anything that looks pink or green or gross...

Good to know. Now setting expectations accordingly.

We started “The Expanse” on Amazon Prime last night, based on a recommendation from a good friend. We watched two episodes, and it was pretty good. There are 5 seasons and it’s still going as far as I could tell, so there’s much to watch. However, I think Mr. Leggo will see a lot more episodes...

Happy Friday, you all!!

So interesting! My nurse friend who got the second dose (Pfizer, I believe) just had a bit of a headache after getting it. For the record, she had a headache before getting the second dose, and got it in the middle of her shift, so had to work several hours afterwards. She had barely any...

The soap at my old company’s office did this to my hands. It was awful pink liquid soap. I know it was the soap, because the soap they had when I first started working there was not pink and did not do that. I used the Neutrogina Norwegian lotion to help.

Banned because I need a good reason not to!
