CookingWithWhiskers says hello.

Just a short introduction....

I have been cooking with sourdough for forty years now (mostly in Nevada).  Currently I happen to live south of San Francisco but good long fermented natural SD is not as easy to find as one might think.  Thus I try to bake a good loaf on occasion...   I am not a professional baker.... not at all.

I am also a little lazy so I make a lot of SD pancakes.    SD Pancakes are an easy way and tasty excuse to keep a SD starter happy and well fed.  Some days I wonder if I could live on them alone.... 

I have recently discovered what many here already know -- a cast iron covered dutch oven lets a home baker make a fine loaf.    

Happy cooking...
