I've had really good luck with this guy's method http://www.sourdoughhome.com/startermyway.html - so long as I stick with the whole wheat flour. It definitely goes through periods of less happy, but I just kept feeding it morning and night.

Now it goes through a process like: feed, quiet for about 2 hours, active for about 2 hours, settles back down until next feeding.

Mixed Review: Instant Miso Soup

I've been considering a recipe or two that require miso soup as an ingredient.. this sounds like the most likely way I'd make one of them!

Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Lemon Aid

Muddle some mint in the bottom of a glass, at two tsp sugar, a shot of lemon juice (though I prefer lime), fill with ice, top with water or club soda..

Oh, I left out the shot of rum!

Yes, if life hands me citrus, it's time to make mojitos!

Baking in Wyoming

Denver area - the only "predictable" baking fix I've done is for cookies - I bump the oven up 25 degrees and pull them out a few minutes earlier than the recipe calls for. (it's something to do with the leavening acting faster here?)

I've had good success with bread and cake recipes with no modifications.

Lemon Cake-OOPS!!!

I did this the other day - luckily muffins don't need too much rise. For a cake, I would expect it to be extra dense - but looking at the amount of yogurt in the recipe, I bet it will still be nice and moist.

New ideas for ripe bananas

the apple makes the banana not as strong a flavor - they're just yummy super moist muffins

Help! Thanksgiving Appetizer

Gougeres are kind of fun to make - I just used the random shredded cheddar we had on hand and they came out puffy and yummy.

I have a quarter kilo of vanilla beans. Ideas?

Mail them out to people who send you a SASE (self addressed stamped envelope) in return for something fun like a 3x5 card of their favorite recipe? I have a ton of things that want me to have 1 vanilla bean - I've never even seen a vanilla bean!

(urm - except it would be kind of creepy to give out your address to all those people. So never mind unless you have PO Box! or you give them to SE to organize like the do the sticker mailouts)
