Always wanted to try and bake your own bread?
Sourdough is a bread raised by aerobic yeast (yeasts in the atmosphere) that are captured in a mixture of flour and water and fed regularly to keep them alive. There are many different ways to make a sourdough starter — some people insist on using mineral water to feed the starter, others use water from boiled potatoes to get the starter going. It’s very effective to get a cup of someone else’s starter that you can then feed and grow yourself. Other people have sourdough starters that have been handed down through generations, but there’s no need for all that fuss: it’s incredibly easy to make your own.

Needless to say Insurance does not cover "Vermin" for some reason. So I have one Eurotech electric oven with a gas cook top waiting for some one in need. Its 3 years old and will be a challenging jig-saw if you want the whole thing. The gas top, door, Stainless Steel panels etc are fine. Steam Clean and new insulation may fix the body. The whole has been under wraps through the Covid saga there so no worries there. There could be a free cat involved in this deal as well.

Hi All,
I am looking for some builders mix/sand/small stones to go under a concrete path. If you have a few buckets full left over from your project, they would be appreciated by me. Could also take old bricks and break them down.
