$50 at Sour Flour

This is something near and dear to me. With all the free time I had [funemployment!], I started learning to bake bread. I connected with Danny Gabriner via Twitter, and he taught me a thing or two about baking from sour dough starter!

He’s put together these beginner baker kits, which I think are absolutely awesome. You too can learn to bake bread. It’s not as hard as it sounds, but does require a bit more math than I like. Make sure you use a scale and a calculator to get those hydration percentages!

The Sour Flour Beginner Baker’s Kit includes:
- 1 Blarf Baby (the starter that will be the basis for all of your breads)
- 5kg Flour
- 100g Salt
- 100g Cornmeal
- 1 Mixing Bowl
- 2 Proofing Bowls
- 2 Starter Containers
- 10 Ingredient Containers
- 2 Muslin Bowl Cloths
- 1 Canvas Couche
- 2 Half Sheet Pans
- 1 Bench Scraper
- 1 Bowl Scraper
- Full Instructions

If all you need is a Blarf Baby, Danny will send you one for free!

$5 at Foodzie

Yup, I’m diving into the realm of food as well.

At the Foodzie [it's like Etsy for food!] tasting not too long ago [a few weeks, perhaps?], I tried the Green Tomato Relish, and let me tell you – it is really good! I put this on a hot dog with nothing else, and it was fantastic just like that. You can buy one jar for $5 or in bulk!
