Which sent me to the Bing search engine. Now I'm confused on a higher
plane as to whether "Tanger" is folggin its own merch or is a developer
offering strip mall space for others to peddle their trash.

I'm pretty good about that. But once in a while I hit a mystery placket.
If I thaw it out and it's nothing I want to deal with at the time then
Jasper, Eva and/or Isoble get at "treat"

My priary care doctor (yesterday afternoon) told me about the fatigue but
not when it hits. I feel fine currently. Got any advice on when to expect
the "side effect"?

Been there, done that. And my S-I-L seems to have made me a "project",
Last night she sent my brother over with a casserole dish filoled with
penne and meatballs in a marinara and 4 slices of home-baked garlic bread.
I downed a fourth of it and the rest went into the fridge. I won't need
to get into the Healthy Choice frozen entrees for a while.

Title: N.Y.T.'s Sourdough Starter
Categories: Five, Breads, Fruits
Yield: 2 servings
16 oz Flour
3 oz Pineapple juice
10 oz Filtered or spring water
MAKE SEED CULTURE: Combine 1 ounce of the flour and 2
ounces pineapple juice in a large glass or small
nonreactive bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and
leave at room temperature, stirring with a wet spoon
twice a day. Bubbles should appear after 24 to 36 hours.
After 48 hours, add 1 ounce flour and remaining
pineapple juice, stirring to incorporate. Re-cover with
plastic wrap and leave at room temperature, stirring
with a wet spoon twice a day. When it is foamy, in 1 to
4 days, combine 2 ounces flour and 1 ounce filtered or
spring water in a medium nonreactive bowl. Add seed
culture, stirring to incorporate, and re-cover with
plastic wrap. Stir twice a day to aerate.
When mixture has doubled in bulk, in 1 to 2 days,
convert it into a starter: Combine 12 ounces flour and 9
ounces filtered or spring water in bowl. Add 4 ounces of
seed culture mixture (discard the rest, or use to make a
second starter) and mix until fully incorporated.
Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for 2
minutes. It should have the consistency of bread dough.
Transfer to a nonreactive bowl and let rest at room
temperature until it doubles in size, about 4 to 8
hours. Knead lightly, then store in container with
tight-fitting lid (container must be large enough to let
starter triple in bulk).
Store in refrigerator.
TIP: Every 5 to 10 days the starter will need to be fed
with more flour and water. Follow the directions in step
2 above, substituting starter for seed culture.
