          I made a loaf of sourdough using leftover mashed potatoes and the potato water,I decreased the salt from 3/4 tsp to 1/4 tsp because the potato water was salted and the potatoes.The bread is very good,I baked it in a 8x4 and it's 5 inches high,had very good oven rise.The added potatoes makes for a soft bread which I like.

                  We're having meatloaf,mashed potatoes and garden peas.I've been getting my starter up to par so tonight I'll make some sourdough and will add in the leftover potatoes and use the water they cooked in for the water.We'll see how that works out.

                    Yesterday I made pizza for me and love letting the dough rise with just 1/4 tsp. of yeast as ya'll told me and I made spaghetti for my husband,he doesn't care for pizza and I think if you're doing the cooking you should get what you want sometime,lol.My pizza had sausage,pepperoni,black olives,green peppers,onions,mushrooms,and pickled banana peppers yummy and I've had a piece for breakfast this morning.We've done a grocery run to Publix already and I found KAF all purpose flour unbleached 5 # bag for $3.99,I checked and no yeast but I'm fine for awhile.

                            I stir my hooch back in also,after mine has been refrigerated for a while it'll form the hooch and you can smell the alcohol.One of the ways I've read to tell if it's ready for baking is to test a tablespoonful in a cup of water,if it floats it's ready,that's what I do and I don't need any yeast for it to work.

                            Aaron another thing I read was never pour starter down your sink as it will stop it up ...as they say.

                              Italiancook when we have taco salad I scramble cook the hamburger and add taco seasoning,I heat a can of refried beans which I add a little garlic powder and chili powder,then we have lettuce,tomato,cheese,sour cream and salsa to top it off.I like tortilla chips or fritos with mine but my husband doesn't.Sometime I roll mine in a flour tortilla and eat it like a burrito.Like Mike all leftover lettuce,tomato and cheese makes for a premade salad for later on.We layer meat,beans and toppings.I like this cause I can make it all in 20 minutes.
