does anyone else remember these?!?! the super sour candies that ripped your tongue into shreds and rendered you incapable of tasting anything for days? why were they so destructive!?
i used to love sour candy. don't get me wrong, i still enjoy sour punch straws (cherry thank you very much!) and sour patch kids, especially on road trips with an orange soda and a bag of purple skittles.
i eat like crap on road trips.
as i've gotten older and wiser and found out just how much sugar/chemicals goes into making sour candy (that explains the massive stomach aches), i've found myself less attracted to it.
my gallbladder also came out in 2003, so i don't handle candy well or any mass forms of sugar (think soda, juice, cookies, cake, frosting is a big one.... all of that makes me sick. go on, pity me. i deserve it.).
there is, however, one sour thing left in my life that i absolutely love and can eat outrageous quantities of:
sourdough bread.
even as i type the words my heart starts racing and i can feel myself revving up as my salivary glands kick into gear.
I. LOVE. BREAD.
and i've been making a ton of it lately. i'm going to throw a recipe for amish white bread up here in a day or two-- it's vegan and DELICIOUS!!!!!
anywho, i googled sourdough bread and found a great site that really puts things into simple terms. you can find it here.
yesterday i began what will be approximately a week long endeavor that i'm praying will end in the most delicious bread i've ever created.
after i've consumed the entire loaf with some butter, i will post the process and pictures.
i don't think a whole lotta people read this, but if there are in fact hundreds of you and someone wants to follow those directions along with me, i would LOVE to see your results and compare breads in a week!!
