As some of you may be aware, Sourdough Bread has been a long term interest of mine. I am proud to brag that at the moment some of my sourdough starter culture is on its way to the US as the base stock for growing culture for commercial sale. :D
Now if I can only get my head back down to normal size. ;) :D

Congrats Termy!
Not knowing a single thing about Sourdough (other than how it tastes) I assume that this is a very good thing.

Well now that you mention it.........you can imagine what the process was, considering terrorism etc, to get approval to send a live bacterial culture into the US. :eek:
You think we have a mad beaurocracy here in Aus? Mate at last count I think there was about 15 different US departments involved. Thankfully all handled at the US end of things. I told the US connection "You want it, you do the work for it".

Well it's a royalty based deal, and I don't expect a complete new workshop out of it, but there will be enough for a few goodies.;)

Well done mate , no sour grapes this time and if the Royalties are enough then your life will become one big loaf, and dough will be the yeast of your worries.

Wow! A hobby that more than pays for itself... :eek:
That has GOT to be a first!

Oh yeah, big payoff, I think it will work out to about $0.03 per hour that I've spent at it over the years. :D
There's one thing sourdough teaches you....patience. If you haven't got any, then don't even think about it.;) I started three loaves at 12.30 pm today. The first will be ready to eat at about 12.30 pm tomorrow.

Yes... But that $0.03 is in the positive... Mine is absolutely, certainly and with a doubt in the negative - by quite a way too I would guess.:o
Notice, I am not doing the sums to figure out how much I have spent as that would be too ghastly to consider. :D

Sounds like my fly fishing trips, I calculated that the trout I catch, and the few I keep cost something like $250.00 per kilo:eek:

Yeah, but they're worth millions in unnamed benefits.;)

Nice one mate - good to see you have more than one skill :p

Sourdough is very good, that our very own Termite is the SourDoughboy is even better, well done.
