Sourdough Discard Crackers

Ever since I shared some sourdough discard crackers over on my instagram I have had a zillion questions about them. If you haven’t jumped into the sourdough craze you are definitely missing out. I will admit that at first it seemed like a LOT of work and time, but it really isn’t. I mean how much time do we spend mindlessly scrolling when we could spend a tiny bit of time eliminating garbage from…

These are sooo good!

I made a rosemary cracker the other day and I made a garlic one today. King Arthur comes through.

Day 207: The Sentient Bread I Just Baked Is A Lesbian And She Eats My Ass

Ah, back to the topical subjects of mid-2020. This one specifically starts with the rush on bread-making supplies when everyone who was confined to their homes wanted to try their hands at baking. (It brings back surprisingly nice memories for me. I make sourdough bread so it made me feel helpful in an otherwise helpless-feeling time to be able to share my starter when my neighbors couldn't find yeast at the store!)

This tingler also gave me something I wanted that I didn't know I would ever get, some outright discussion of the relation that living objects have to reality, and how they come in to the world with an understanding of it even though they haven't experienced anything yet. Well, on the timeline of this particular tingler, anyway. We've seen several different living foods which all have a different relationship to the idea of being eaten, from the peanut butter in "Bisexually Sandwiched By My Sentient Peanut Butter Husband And Our New Living Jelly Girlfriend" who can't stand the idea of consuming anything with any kind of nut in it, even non-sentient ones, to the handsome living corn (and the beets in the same tingler) who makes his whole living lobbying for his crop, presumably to be consumed. The bread, though, has an existence that transcends whether a single loaf is eaten.

Honestly, this was only discussed for a few sentences of the tingler and the bread only ends up being eaten in the sexual sense during the course of the story, but that existential discussion sparked something in my brain. It feels fitting to bread, conceptually. Bread is an incredibly important construct. The next loaf of bread I make will draw from a colony of microbes I've nourished for years, practice I've built over decades, and knowledge I've drawn from millenia of human experience. Some part of its essence was there in the last loaf, and after it's eaten, and some part of it will return in the next loaf. Just like how Grimla the sentient lesbian bread describes her existence in this tingler.

It’s that time of year where I try to start a sourdough starter again. I’m hopeful that it will take off, because the last one I did survived for quite a few weeks. The only reason it died (or more accurately I purposely killed it) is because fruit flies got in it and laid eggs. This time I am taking more precautions - using fabric over the top instead of precariously placing the lid slightly ajar.

I cultured some yogurt from a tablespoon of mediocre grainy store bought stuff with some leftover milk and a splash of cream, and taking a quick bite of the warm creamy yogurt felt unexpectedly special.
