Great stories! I cracked up about your Dad...Cindy! Great stories! I cracked up about your Dad's "help" with the starter. I have a same-but-different story about my Dad trying to revive an ailing pet of my brother's- I think a hamster- by giving it drops of whiskey. That was so long ago I don't recall whether it prolonged the poor critter's life or not. <br /><br />Did you make that salt-rising bread very often? I do remember a visit with you, I think in the winter of '76-'77. You were either visiting or back home with your folks for a time. You had made some delicious soup with dumplings and I remember the salt rising bread! It took a long time to rise. (That is one bread I have never tried.) <br />Thanks for the memories!Mary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03443994462169750739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5162385108508509753.post-53035308874869005732012-09-06T10:51:32.047-04:002012-09-06T10:51:32.047-04:00Also, Mary Beth, re: starters, one time I was tryi...Also, Mary Beth, re: starters, one time I was trying to make salt rising bread and had carefully placed the starter down near the warm furnace there on Hard Rd.--only nothing was happening. My father took a look at it and to my horror (and even more to my mother's) spit in it, saying, "Things nowadays are too clean." And the starter started.

These look better and simpler (after all, we have a testimony of simplicity) and I will have to try them!<br />Lucindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041634566016498190noreply@blogger.com
