Bad Mother....

Late last year we were playing around with making sourdough, using a starter that a friend gave us. We tried a few different recipes (the Alaskan sourdough pancakes were awesome) but after a while I decided that it was too much like hard work just to get a couple of loaves of bread and my time was better spent making beers & ciders. We put the sourdough 'mother' in the back of the fridge and promptly forgot about it for 6 months or so.

We found it during the move and it was looking pretty bad - it had a rancid, overly-sour smell and separated out into an evil dark fluid sitting on top of an off-white cake of flour. We almost threw it out but because of various dietary fun we're having at the minute decided to see if we could rejuvenate it. A few months on and our mother is healthy & productive again.

Which brings me on to the tune of the week (which to be honest is a reasonable tune with a great video). Graphic language and very violent imagery warning - do not watch this in the same room as anyone with a delicate disposition! Don't be mislead by the picture below, there's a lot more blood than boobs...
