meet Mr. Lumpy!


my new baby. (i guess it's a 'boy', lol).... first loaf i've baked in a few weeks. looks kinda lumpy, but eh, that's what home baking is about - not perfection, but ART!!!!! lol... i should call him Mr. Mosaic then, eh? lol.

got some peeps i still wanna pass bread on to, but not this loaf. ...this is what happens when you have an abundance of sourdough starter and haven't been baking enough to keep up.... you toss in some whole wheat flour, mix it up quick and haphazardly, let it rise overnight in the oven (heat from the lightbulb only), the unbaked crust gets.... crusty... from the dry low heat, and then when ya form it into a loaf, you break it up, lol, and throw it directly back into the (cold...well, semi-cold in this case) oven and set it to 350 for 45 minutes..... and it is what it is... food!!!!!

looks different, but... i think it still looks yummy!!! :D

now, if only i wasn't out of cream cheese!!!!

i love baking bread. :)

[and i'm not going to wash my pans anymore.... someone told me a baker told them not to wash their pans, they get seasoned up, much like a cast iron pan, i guess. so a wipe-clean, and that's it!!!! :D ]

hopefully later on today (...maybe...) i'll get round to baking another 2 to 4 or maybe even 6 loaves... i half fed/half prepped the rest of my room temp starter (i'm a mad sourdough experimentationalist, what can i say!) last night before bed... so now, i have this to deal with:


can u say, 'OVER-FLOW'....? lol

    Haha...ya, a tad overflowing!

    Good for you for making bread. I have never made it, except for in a bread machine. I come from some amazing bakers...guess I should give it a try someday!

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

The Radical Summons: "Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
