That looks great. I can't bake stuff
That’s very nice. Hope you are healing well.
Att'a boy, amazing looking loaf.
Doing Keto, has been tough on me, no bread, pizza, tamales or beer for me.
I'm down 40 lbs since December 10th though, so it's been worth it.

Oh man that looks amazing! That’s a great step back into the game! I can’t help imagining some clam chowder inside that SD though! I can’t bake to save my life, one of the many things I see here that I’d love to get into, this just feeds that! Great work!
That looks amazing. Seriously. That’s a State Fair blue ribbon right there!

Awesome looking loaf! Just beautiful!
Looks great to me! Even better that you're able to get up and do it! Glad you're able to get back in the kitchen!

Man that looks good.
Looks great Dave! A loaf last me two months anymore so I just used dried starter. Those look like heirloom tomatoes from Trader Joes. I love those!

Thanks! I used to think I couldn’t bake as well…
Thank you, healing seem to be going OK. In 10 days I get the cast off and a walking boot.
I prolly should do keto and several other better health changes, but we decided that after I’m back some sort of normal we will address them then.
Many thanks
Thank you!
I was hoping the starter would be up for it after such a long fridge nap. And it was
I miss cooking SO MUCH. The little I have done seems like its 10X harder than it should be, but it’s gotta be done.
Thank you
Them are TJ heirlooms. I want to make a caprese sandwich with the SD and them tomatoes.
Thanks Al!
Looks great Dave!! We love sourdough and that looks fantastic. Very nice job for having to hobble around to get it done. Sure hope the healing process is going well.

Great looking loaf Dave, nice to hear you are able to get back in the kitchen! RAY
Thank Robert, I didn’t realize how good the homemade SD was till we bought a loaf recently…store bought is so bland in comparison. I am sure its pretty funny to watch me try to cook, its a combo of crutching and rolling around in a desk chair - but it works.
I think healing to going well, but being in a cast and no weight bearing doesn’t reflect much except that there is little pain…unless i topple over and put the broken leg down to catch myself. Which doesn’t work and ends badly.
Thank Ray! Man I just want to cook everyday like before….getting closer each day.
I feel your pain. When I was a sophomore in high school I spent 9 months on crutches with no weight bearing on my left leg. When they finally got everything fixed and I was able to start using the leg it was almost like learning to walk all over again. Additionally the muscles have all atrophied and need to rebuild to get the strength back. Heck, just walking 100 feet to the end of the driveway was exhausting. The fun stuff you have to look forward to
It takes a while so just be patient and it'll happen.Robert
@tx smoker thank you for the encouragement Robert. I was in a cast for three months when i was in my twenties. Same leg, compound fracture of the fibula and a broken tibia. I am hopeful their recovery will be not quite as bad this time. Everything on this round has been less painful by a mile.
I can’t imagine 9 months of no weight bearing…OMG. I can’t imagine.

Man, that is one beautiful loaf of bread! Love that golden color.
I've only recently gotten into sourdough and it fascinates me.
What kind of flour do you use for the starter? I'm assuming you use a dutch oven because of the "lift strips". Do you use the lid on the D.O.
during part of the cook? Baking temps? LOL, I could go on! I would love to see your recipe....
The only broken bones I've ever had was a finger and a toe. I can't imagine having a cast for months.

Yep, I destroyed my left knee playing football the first weekend after school started for the year and was still on crutches at my brother's graduation. Was a pretty miserable time, especially when you consider our high school was 3 stories
