Hi Shawn,
RH> We got it from Steve's sister, who got it from King Arthur Flour. We
RH> got it as a white flour starter; it converted to whole wheat within a
RH> few weeks. If you want to use it every day, you can keep it at room
RH> temperature.
SH> I think if I were going to bake bread ever other day or so I would
SH> give it a go. May have to now anyway with the store breads mostly
SH> coming from North Korea.
I'd definatly be serious about baking bread if the stores carried
nothing but North Korean, I presume gluten free. We buy gluten free
bread at Wegman's, to be used for Lord's Supper at the church. Guess
I'll hve to take a look at where it comes from.
RH> passed him on to a friend. We've had various iterations of Simon ever
RH> since but the current one is our longest lived.
SH> Mom can't remember the name of her's now, but it was something like
SH> bart or skip or something.
Back in 1981, La Leche League, International put out a cook book to
celebrate its 25th anniversary. In the extensive section on breads,
there was a section on sourdough, author of it had named hers Sidney. We
chose Simon, also the name of the cat my parents currently owned.
RH> good bye to her (but continuing to visit) when she didn't recognize
RH> me any more. About 6 months later she passed away. She's been gone a
RH> bit over 10 years; there are times I still wish I could call and talk
RH> with her.
SH> I can imagine. My father and I were never close, but I will miss him
SH> when he's gone.
Very understandable. Do you get to visit with him very often? If you
can, visit often; you won't regret it after he's gone. Also, have you
talked with his doctors to get any sort of where he is on the dementia
time line? We talked with one of my mom's doctors who told us that
dementia is like erasing a blackboard line, from the present to the
past, chronologically speaking. The memory forgets more recent things
first, then the older. When they forget how to swallow (a basic life
instinct), then death is near. Don't mean to sound so down, it's just
reality.
