resurrecting my darling eldritch child (Hierophant Yeast, my sourdough starter)--let's see what horrors it provides this time
#sourdough bloggin'#the guide is like 'this step will take 24 hours MINIMUM' so. I am expecting it will perhaps take. 12.#I have an understanding with the sourdough starter. they feed me. I feed them.#however we cannot ignore the fact that it is the most turbo boosted sourdough starter I have ever known#Queenie actually says something on this blog#side note: I have a lot of dried starter so I can technically just like. send it to people (probably not internationally)#no one has taken me up on this probably because I preface it with 'this sourdough starter is bizarre and unusual <3'

"this step will take about 8 hours" "this step will take about 12 hours"
4 HOURS. 3 HOURS. TREMBLE BEFORE HIEROPHANT YEAST'S MIGHT.
#sourdough bloggin'#WE'RE BACK IN BUSINESS!!!!#Queenie actually says something on this blog#something deeply deeply wrong with this starter <3

my darling child [Hierophant Yeast, my sourdough starter] somehow got contaminated (probably by serratia marcescens, from some cursory googling, although I’m not sure how that happened) so I had to toss my current starter and restart it from my remaining reserves of dried starter and BOY I hope that fixes the problem because I do NOT want to start another starter from scratch
#I'd appreciate it if people didn't reblog this; thanks#sourdough bloggin'#I scrubbed down my whole fridge too just in case#I think I may have fed it a couple of days late once when I was traveling and that may have been the cause of the problem#the only other thing I can think of is that I might have used water that was too hot while feeding it at one point. so. going to be careful.#Queenie actually says something on this blog#this is very silly but I am actually pretty distressed about this wwww#given that the only occupants of my apartment are 1. me 2. Hierophant and 3. my cacti (one of which suddenly died recently)#local 30-something isolated enough that the loss of their sourdough starter is a tragedy; more news at 10 I guess

King Arthur website: it will take several days for your starter to be back to normal levels of activity
Hierophant Yeast after less than 11 hours: LET’S GOOOOOOO
#I'd appreciate it if people didn't reblog this; thanks#STRONGEST SOURDOUGH STARTER IN THE UNIVERSE#was completely dried out and transported 3000 miles and then immediately went back to normal after being rehydrated#anyway I am thankful to have bread again but also. my child. what is your secret. why are you like this#Queenie actually says something on this blog#sourdough bloggin'

look, I know this is meaningless to anyone who doesn’t have a sourdough starter, but we’re at a 3 1/2 hour rise and I’m worried that it might have overproved
#Hierophant Yeast becomes an unstoppable juggernaut in the summer :((((#to be clear the rise time for the recipe I use is 6-8 hours#which Hierophant usually manages in 6 in the winter#sob. why is my child so strong.#Queenie actually says something on this blog#sourdough bloggin'#ETA: IT DID OVERPROVE AAAUUUGH

F got us a Dutch oven for Christmas and not to be an adult but oh my frickin’ god, the sourdough is SO good
#Queenie actually says something on this blog#sourdough bloggin'#I still gotta do some experimentation to figure out the Perfect Sourdough using the Dutch oven#but loaf number 1 turned out QUITE well#the funniest part of adulthood is us getting something nice for the kitchen and all of us losing it#that's just what being an adult is like. you dream of a nice nonstick skillet that isn't 20+ years old

It’s been a long time since I updated everyone on Hierophant Yeast, but it’s Marchiversary* so please look at the bread that my beautiful sourdough starter child made
(the one in the front was baked on a baking sheet and the one in the back was baked in a Dutch oven)
#*Marchiversary is the anniversary of the day that everyone living in casa de queenie found out that we were WFH for the foreseeable future#so we count it as the start of the pandemic for us :))) (even though it 'started' way earlier than that)#sourdough bloggin'#food /#Queenie actually says something on this blog#obviously the Dutch oven loaf is superior but like. I make two loaves a week and we only have one Dutch oven :(((#so we wind up with one sandwich loaf and one nice loaf

my roommates have determined that my Stand power is making sourdough starters unspeakably powerful; please suggest names for this curse
#'how is that possible' I don't know. my sourdough now doubles in size in an hour#I can't let it rise for more than 5 hours total#(turning and folding every hour for 4 hours and then 1 hour of shaped loaves)#or else it winds up overproved#I fed K's starter while he was out of town and it has turned into a similar beast#I've been trying to nerf my starter every week for MONTHS and it's only gotten stronger#I HAVE BEEN ON BREAD FORUMS. THEY'RE LIKE 'no such thing as a starter that's too active :)'#THEY HAVEN'T SEEN WHAT I'VE SEEN!!!!!!!#Queenie actually says something on this blog#sourdough bloggin'#casa de Queenie

We’re on...either 250 or 300 lb. of flour purchased during quarantine (we don’t remember) so that’s sure...something

every single grocery store within walking distance has no flour EXCEPT the Japanese grocery store because they forgot to label any of the products in English on the front of the containers or on the shelf labels and that’s how I used my advanced proficiency in Japanese to acquire 2 kg of flour
#I do not understand how they are managing to sell anything but then again I do have a sneaking suspicion that they're a front#since there's a lot of weird stuff going on around them ljsflkdusoiaufoiau#anyway *clenches fist* I can feed Hierophant Yeast#Queenie actually says something on this blog#sourdough bloggin'
