Got the bread done here - experiment looks good. Slicing will be the true test.

experimental on the left sour dough on the right.
Experiment was just using yeast no starter - worked the rest of the time as if it was sour dough.
I hope mine looks like that.

Phone finally transferred everything to new phone about midnight. Couldn't get it activated through the website, so I called the phone carrier this morning to activate the new phone. Apparently I waited too long to set it up, sim card won't work. Didn't realize that, bought the phone three months ago. Oh well. Nice rep said to take the sim out of the old phone, install in new phone... not happening just yet. I hate wasting so much time fiddling and setting up a new device.

Going to go check on the flocks, then I think I will start measuring flour.

:fl

Two loaves are good!

The other two are good inside but are overdone on the sides and bottom. They were baked in non-stick dark pans.

I ate two slices with butter already, wanted a third but resisted.

After I got home I went outside, tended to my chickens, did a little spot weeding, and caught a bullfrog!
:yesss:
It was rehomed to a pond about a mile away. That's the EIGHTH bullfrog I have removed this year. They eat anything, including small birds and other frogs. :hit

Green frog is safer.

Look!

I also picked more beans, but was too tired to freeze them, maybe tomorrow after work.
