She/they - I'm neurodivergent and a fibro battling bad*ss. I change hobbies often but I'm hoping my current one isn't short lived as I love sourdough!
Pinned
🎶 Autistic, ADHD, and a few other things 🎶

I'm into lots of things and sourdough is a new hyper focus! As of 11/27, we're at 2 loaves of bread and 13 days in on the starter!

Starter is named: Audrey II

I'm also into crafting, TTRPGs, some anime, reading, my dog, & more...

I stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦
Lest we forget, they were the ones invaded, bombed, and are suffering at the hands of Russian forces.

I'm alive, I am just not posting here much. My sourdough starter went bad when I neglected her due to depression so she got thrown out... And we are looking at moving this year so I'm packing non-essentials... I'll start a new SD starter in the new house... Whenever that happens.

BREAKING NEWS:

A passenger jet collided midair with a black hawk helicopter and crashed into the Potomac River in a mass casualty event in Washington DC.

Just last week, Trump FIRED the head of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and disbanded the Aviation Security Advisory Committee.

My mental health crashed and my starter is gone. I'm going to start over when my head is in a better place but that's why I have been silent... That and the state of the US/world right now. I AM learning Chinese for fun.
Today, Jan 29th, is CNY!
春节快乐! 恭喜发财!
Happy New Year!
Wishing you prosperity!

Had #surgery today (septoplasty) and came out the other side okay. My #sourdough #starter needs tended to but it'll be neglected some for now. I wish I felt up to making bread because I fed it a 1:4:4 to help with keeping it active and strong, which means I have 135g of active starter. 😭

Working on our New Year's Dough... Just pre-shaped the dough and we're letting it rest for a while before final shaping, then cold proof time. My 16y/o has helped me with every step so far. This one is a 71% hydration instead of my normal 78%. What have y'all done for New Year's? #sourdoughsky

Finding that I am lacking motivation to post or take care of my starter or really much of anything. I'll be okay but I'm not having a good time right now. #disabled #mentalillness #illbeokay #sendsomelove

So my work has a job accommodation form that ESSENTIALLY says I'll be placed on leave until able to do my job at full capacity if asking to have too many accommodations. I asked for clarification and HR danced around my concern about if I understood this correctly, so obviously, I'm correct and /🧵

I feel like my 8th Loaf came out well but I didn't score well for the pattern and an ear. No crumb shot yet because we're taking this, blind, over to my boyfriend's mom's house for dinner tonight. (That's why it's in a bread bag and uncut)

Wish me luck, I'm attempting a new loaf of sourdough bread to take to my boyfriend's mom's place for Christmas Eve dinner. If it doesn't turn out, it doesn't go. 😅

Home and resting...
She's not feeling too great...
I'm hoping she's okay by morning, though. I was told this surgery is pretty dang rough on the animal for the first few days after, so I shouldn't sit here too worried, right? Right?!

My ESA has bladder stones. She's about to cost me over 2k in surgical costs I can't REALLY afford, plus an antibiotic, tomorrow morning. I have to put it on a credit card I'm going to immediately max out. I have to do it though... She means the world to me. She's only 4 years old and my best friend.

My #depression #sourdough loaf turned out overproofed and dense and a little gummy? It's not under-fermented - I assure you - but I didn't know over could produce the same ish texture. 🤷🏻‍♀️ The pattern baked nicely but the oven spring wasn't really there, obv. Oh, well #breadsky #learning #sourdoughsky

Fighting depression lately, I'm sorry I've not been my usually present self with Audrey II or baking updates. I have dough in the fridge that needs baked, laundry that needs done, and various other responsibilities that I'm shirking in the name of rest and self care. 😩😮‍💨🫣 #mentalillness #itllbeokay

Why won't my dough cleanly release from the bowl like I see others do? I always have to help it. Even the dough that was pretty much perfect last time was stuck. I don't get it. What am I doing wrong? Is it that it's higher hydration dough? Still not perfectly fermented? 😭 #sourdoughsky #bakingsky
December 16, 2024 at 12:57 PM
I think I'm going to make a batch of dough today... And try not to mess it up this time, even though the results were perfect last time. 😅 Here's hoping I can duplicate it by just leaving it the heck alone for a long BF and that's all it needs. 🤞
