    Bread type question

    $6 per pound seams to be the fair going price, but there is some price gouging right now. The yeast as was referring to on my earlier post https://amzn.to/3dBEqNc, was $11.28 per 2lbs when I bought it 3 month ago, now its $30 the 2 lb.

    Chicken liver

    Liver is extremely high in iron, so its color my change a bit to a rusty color. It is absolutely normal. It's even a problem when I make pâté. I have to add a little bit of oil on top of it (from a jar) , right after I eat some, to protect it from oxidation. But yours should be OK.

    Sourdough Beginner - Tips?

    Yea, your starter will never die. place it in the fridge, live it alone, then feed it again a few month later, about a week before you need it, and here it goes again. But starters are only worth it if you are making bread on a regular basis, if not, go with a poolish. I used to make great...
