Yay!! It’s day 11. Sorry guys I fell asleep early the night before and didn’t do the second feeding on day 10 but it all looks okay. Oh man the smell but that is expected I believe.

Let’s get to doing this feeding. We are going to do the same thing that we have been doing the last day or two with the wheat flour. It’s early enough in the day that I should also be able to do the second feeding.

Hey it’s Friday!! Good morning everybody! We have made it. The weekend is in sight. I hope you guys had a great week and I hope you have a great Friday.

We are off this weekend so we will get to enjoy our weekend a little bit. It’s been a little cooler this week but we really haven’t ventured outside much this week so we haven’t noticed the temperature outside.

I fell asleep last night so sorry I didn’t feed my starter again but I’m going to do it here in just a little bit for you. Thank you for the views and your support.

Let’s have a great day and an awesome weekend.

Yay! Day 10 of this journey of making my own sourdough starter from scratch. It’s been a journey. lol Anyway it looks like we’re finally getting a rise out of it and some growth. I’m so excited that it’s working. So I guess I’ll keep doing what I’ve been doing. I’m now feeding it twice a day. It’s later in the day so it will be late when I do the second feeding but of course I’ll do a video. Okay so let’s do this feeding and video.

Good morning everybody!💚 I know it’s late morning but that’s just how I roll most days. Ones that have been following me for a while knows that by now.😂😂. Anyway it’s Thursday and everyone knows what that means right?! Tomorrow is FRIDAY!!! We will not be at the market this Saturday. I’m still dealing with some issues and Shandee Yoder-Newman is having some dental work done today so we will be resting the rest of the week. If you can’t wait until next weekend you can always message us on here or you can check us out on Market Wagon Greater KC & Wichita l. You have until Sunday night yo until 11:59 pm to put your order in for Tuesday delivery. Information for it is on our page. Let’s go have a great Thursday!!

Hey guys! Let’s go ahead and do a second feeding on this starter. It’s around 9 pm. I’m going to take out a little bit from the previous jar and I’m going to do a little bit more flour and water tonight so hopefully it can go a little longer than 12 hours before I feed it again. I really think it’s starting to do something and thank goodness it hasn’t gone bad on me. Luckily I guess I’m doing something right.

Anyway come watch me fiddle with this starter and see if we can get it looking good the next day.

Hey we have made it to day 9 for making my own sourdough starter. So far it hasn’t molded or gone bad on me yet but it also hasn’t shown much growth really. I’m going to keep feeding with the whole grain whole wheat flour and see where we get with it. I did it in the morning so it didn’t go as long this time before feeding it so I will check it before I go to bed.

Thank goodness for 80s on 8. I’m doing office work today and I don’t want to.😭😭 Music has always helped me when I’m tired, don’t feel well or doing something that I really hate doing. I finished up the bakery bookkeeping and sent over the tax information to our accountant so now he can finish up our taxes. Now I’m deleting emails. 😜 Yuck! Husband and I are just singing 🎵 away. How many of you GenX’ers can’t remember crap but can remember all the words to 80s songs?

Good morning everyone! We have made it halfway through the week. We got this! Friday will be here before you know it and you will have accomplished everything that you wanted to get done. Happy Wednesday!💚💚💚💚

Good afternoon everyone. It is day 8 of making my very own sourdough starter from scratch. Today I am going to feed it with King Arthur Whole grain whole wheat flour. I have watched videos where people have said it’s better and will make a stronger starter so let’s see what happens.
