trolliing in r.f.s - was: Reluctant Sourdough Starter

Hey Dick, don't put him under more pressure than he already is by making him show pictures. Now, he got his starter (or it's coming soon) and maybe he finds his peace playing with it. Small miracles happen every day - even in Texas. And - in regards to Kenneth, you sure know a hell more than I about nose microorganism sourdough inoculation techniques and how to **** off people, although with "Bob" it's really easy, anyone can do it, no effort required - it just happens naturally. I suspect, he is actually planning to go that route beforehand, like being predisposed in some way. I push comes to shove, Ticker could be referee. Charles needs to ask if s/he wants to, though - I doubt it, cats are smart. Maybe we all should just admit, that yes, this is the right way to make "Chewy French Baguette", and yes, that's exactly how it should look, and it's a terrific job, you pay the bet and we move on. This altar worshipping knee sliding head bouncing psychopathic sick trolling eliteish psychopathic personality petulant child pontificating technique is really interesting right now. One can learn from it, it can come handy one day. But it gets old after a while if it's repetitive, and it's getting there. I am curious how long he holds out. He promised something like a starter phase 3 ( http://samartha.net/GC.html ) response (or was it linear, I don't remember) to every post. That can be exhausting. We'll see.

It also discusses particular kinds of yeasts native to an area. If yeasts are particular to an area, the assumption is that they must be "caught" from the environment to be put to use. But I intend to keep an open mind. I am still trying to figure out why some people can get a culture to self start whereas others can't and must rely on "catching" yeasts from the atmosphere. Then there are people like me who can't even catch a yeast. My objective it to figure out what is really going on here, not waste my time in ****ing contests with skunks. Maybe that why their culture self starts - they **** in it. |

I am sure she would not mind giving an opinion on the quality of different sourdough starter cultures. She has no problem giving an opinion on practically everything else. Of course they would have to bring their starter here. The trip to San Fransisco, where she won the National Sourdough Tasting, was so traumatic that she has barely left the house since. She has declined to enter any more contests, saying only that she has nothing left to prove. I know the travel is the real reason. Speaking of opinions, she did offer a comment on the quality of discourse here at r.f.s.in recent times. Ticker was sitting on the mouse pad reading the mail when I was catching up on the latest slog of notes. Without my even asking her thoughts, she gave me a disgusted look, made a motion with her left paw as if she was covering something nasty in a litter box, and left. She went over to the couch and buried her head under the pillow. She does that when she is distraught about things. She can be so elequent. Somtimes without even having to say an indelicate word.

"Samartha Deva" > wrote in message = ... > you sure know a hell more than I about nose microorganism=20 > sourdough inoculation techniques ... Well, actually, it is just a theory. But someday, who knows,=20 maybe I will get a Nobel prize for that recognition. It is entirely consistent with most of the facts. And those facts with which is inconsistent are most likely to be lies. =20 (That is for *inadvertent* nose inoculation, as in starter sniffing. The forcible way has not been mentioned here yet, but probably=20 will be, judging by recent trends.)=20 > and how to **** off people ... Just doing my job, but thanks, anyway. > If push comes to shove, Ticker could be referee. Ticker declined. But maybe Igno* NNN... ? He seems to be a good person and we should try to make use of his talents. (His numbers NNN are still fluctuating, but that is probably because he is still trying to shake off the Russian Mob.) --- DickA=20 |
