hoveringsombreroI set aside about twice as much of the Seamus!Spawn this time, because the boy requested garlic cheddar biscuits as well as bread.
So, as you may or may not recall from the last Seamus entry, the bit I used last time should have let to rise into two loaves. Girlperson and I got more loaf pans while out shopping, I pulled out about a third to make the biscuits and then made the rest into bread dough and separated it into three loaves.
Also I decided it was time for Seamus to hibernate so that he only has to be fed once a week now instead of once every 12 hours, which will make his upkeep less taxing. I figure three loaves should last a while, but I suspect I will be making more biscuits sooner than that, since they seemed to have gone over well.
Onto the pictures!
Here's Seamus in his new home.
I am so glad I put that face on him every time I see him, it makes me ridiculously happy to see a happy yayface on him. I know I'm silly.
And here's the biscuits in a bag, you can also see them in front of Seamus in the previous picture. I neglected to get a picture any sooner, so in bag is what you get.
And last are the loaves rising very nicely in the oven overnight. The one in the black tin just looks bigger because his tin is smaller, I hope he doesn't rise out of his tin.
Also, watched Not Another Teen Movie with the boyperson tonight, forgot how great a silly movie that is, and I found my fuzzy red socks. They were in the sock drawer. SHOCKING, I know.

Date: 2011-11-04 05:37 am (UTC)The boyperson ordered a dried bit of starter from a San Francisco sourdough company and we started Seamus with that, and he took off real quick and easy. I can grab the box it came in next time I'm upstairs (tomorrow) and reply again with the URL later.
Sourdough is honestly ridiculously simple to make once you get a good pet growing, because all a basic loaf takes to make is a bit of your sourdough pet, water, salt and flour, that's it!
However, the starter is often referred to as a pet (and I name them) because it's easier to upkeep if you remember that it is an alive thing that you have to care for properly.
