On a bag of peach slices:
Ingredients: PEACHES, CITRIC ACID (TO PROMOTE COLOR RETENTION) AND
ASCORBIC ACID (TO PROMOTE COLOR RETENTION).

Not so bad really, I use ascorbic acid at times to prevent discoloration.

Julia Childs did a baking show (Baking With Julia?) where she had on
some pro baker lady who used grape skins to derive her sourdough
starter yeast. IOW, her guest got the natural yeast present on some
of the grape skins. You might be able to find that particular episode
online.

Actually, those yeast cells will be replaced by the strain that is on
the wheat grains and therefore in the flour. After all, wine yeast is
different to beer yeast and this is an analogous situation.

Sounds like a lot of hogwash. The yeast for sourdough comes from the
flour. All the rest is old wives' tales. With all due respect to any
old wives present.

Good, good. The more you think about sourdough and not about anything
else, the better. Sourdough, sourdough, sourdough. Oh and take your
pills for crying out loud!

Exactly, any yeast from grape skins is only in the way.

That show was with Nancy Silverton of the La Brea Bakery. (long, long
since sold by her).

Truly, though, all one needs to create a decent sourdough starter is
flour, water and patience.

At one point I actually had some of the La Brea culture, obtained,
surprisingly, from a visit to the Bread Alone bakery (Daniel Leader's
place).

There's so much folklore and so little science peddled by sour dough
enthusiasts.

Thank goodness! I was never sure what La Brea Bakery was all about.
Sending out frozen dough loaves? I was never impressed. 8|

Graham was agreeing with me, I believe. He's a lot of sourdough
experience behind him and the pretty much defunct SD group, in which
we participated, used to have a lot of debunking discussion about the
kinds of ingredients some folks liked to push to create/maintain
starters.

Nancy Silverton started La Brea bakery maybe 25 years ago. She was
sort of our 'hero' for a while when all the celebrity bakers were
experimenting with methods, starters and then putting out books. I
don't know if she still owned the bakery when par-baked goods from La
Brea bakery started showing in stores or not. She was (I believe) the
original proponent of the grapes yeast starter theory. She did a
bread book back then but I personally believe that there were other
books from other bakers that followed that were better.

Thanks! Not sure what baked oatmeal is but doubt that we'd eat it. We all
keep different schedules and breakfast is more like grab something quick and
go.

No fruit lovers here. I can't see how you could make a pie with crescent
roll dough and that's not something I often buy. I have wrapped it around
apple slices with a little cinnamon and sugar. Not even close to pie but
good.

Maybe to you. As a child, I was pretty much forced to eat frozen fruit. My
mom loved it. My brother and I did not. I don't really like any frozen
things. But thanks!

I have bought mixed berry pie but it didn't have strawberries. Those were my
concern. Turned out not to be a big deal as there weren't many strawberries
in the overall mix.

No... Eggs make me violently ill. I have had trouble with dairy. I don't
currently. But even if I did, I could find a way to amend the recipe.
Finding an egg sub isn't always so easy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it
doesn't.

Thanks for clarifying!

The key, as ATK tells it, is to keep diluting that flour slurry down as
it grows generation by generation.

A laborious process, one I say most folks won't take the time for, even
an avid baker like CSchenk.

Whoever used the freezer yesterday, dropped two bags of fruit. I found the
bag of strawberries. They had fallen to the bottom of the freezer. Had I
known they were there, I would have added them. The bag of mixed fruit was
on the floor, warm. So... Somebody got into the freezer, dropped two bags
and left them there.

No. My freezer was just overly full which is why I wanted to use some things
up. Tonight it will be two pkgs. of hot dogs. With them will be some canned
baked beans. Bought one can that wasn't so good. Not very flavorful. Will
mix that with another can of good beans and perhaps doctor it up a bit. Will
probably also do some sweet potatoes and if I have an open bag of some kind
of pasta, use that to make mac and cheese. Carb heavy, I know. I will
probably just have some beans and some celery on the side stuffed with
cheese. Nobody else is fond of the celery with cheese and I have an open jar
of cheese.
