Do you peel the crust off of the outside of your sourdough or is it just the crusty ends that offend you? Sourdough and homemade Italian are horses of a different color... delicious! I don't tear it off slices of regular bread, I just avoid the heel. This thread made me wonder, how tough to make sourdough??? All the recipes I found require making a yeast culture.... I want it but I'm just not that meticulous to make a culture. Drawing from memory....sourdough (the real thing) is a gift that keeps on giving. My understanding is that if you are doing it the 'old' way....one must secure a 'culture' aka dough that has been reserved for the soul purpose of making more sourdough. Done correctly the 'yeast' if you will of sourdough can last over generations. I seem to remember that a National Geo had a show about it. The found sourdough bread that had its 'roots' going back well over 300 years or more. Amazing.

Besides, I don't really need to be eating bread with all the pizza I consume.

We call them crusts in New Jersey. We? You have only lived there about a year. Nope sorry....it has always been 'heel' during my 30 year plus stay. 😉 NYers say crusty ends. And seeing as how NJ is pretty much a very large NYC suburb. That makes sense. Just like here in BaltCo.....Baltimore influx has forced me to say 'wiff'. 😎 Dude, I grew up here; spent my first 18 years in North Jersey.

Just like here in BaltCo.....Baltimore influx has forced me to say 'wiff'. 😎 I'm not getting into the Heel/Crust thing But...
My Dad's side of the family is all in NJ. We stayed up at my Grandparents place in Bayville below Toms River many times and I was up there in Seaside Heights and Asbury Park long before Snooky and that bunch. I still have cousins in Forked River and I know the way to Atlantic City like the back of my hand. I myself lived in Linden just below Elizabeth myself for 3 years and change starting my career in the 70's at Port Newark & Bayonne. Maybe North NJ is like a Suburb of NYC but the people in South Jersey and the Shore are way different. I could live there myself but for the NJ property taxes up there which would make anyone from here Weep.
This is Exactly how it was in Seaside back in the 60's! As a kid we all had Wiffle haircuts and the striped tee shirts you'll see on the kids here. And I rode on the Swings from the Globe you see here on the Pier and the Wild Mouse was out on the end of the pier where you thought it was going to fling you into the ocean at the top. Back then they also had a Real Shooting Gallery with .22 rifles on the Boardwalk! My Grandfather & Uncle had a small cabin cruiser and we'd go fishing out on Barnegat Bay. Back then the Navy still had Blimps that flew out of Lakehurst that we'd see sometimes out there.

We call them crusts in New Jersey. I always considered them junk and for the most part still do. Some like them, I for one don't. Now the GOOD sourdough from SF or a loaf of homemade Italian heated, dipped in olive oil and a slice of cheese...... HMMMMMMM that I like. Junk....JUNK!!!!! That is the best damn part. Heathen. 😉😊 I am constantly trying to find a good old fashion crusty rye bread or any bread for that matter. Yes some supermarkets 'may' have their own in house rye...but it is either gone....or some reason they just stop making it. ?? Frustrating. To me everything else is 'cotton bread' ...to me the only difference between what some companies pawn off as 'rye' is nothing but slightly dense white bread colored tan with some caraway seeds thrown in. IMO.

:Yup.. I was a Midway rat....during the summer. Yes ….I had the crew cut and the stripped shirt and a roll of pennies to entertain myself while my Grandmother chain smoked in the Bingo parlor. 😊

To me...as I said...they are brown/white bread with caraway seeds. I guess I got spoiled in NJ growing up with no less than 4 REAL bakeries in my little one square mile town of South River. Actually, going back to see if any of those places still exist is on my bucket list.

When I was a kid we would go to an area in Baltimore that was actually called "Jew Town", best deli's around for corned beef and rye. I think it was on Lombard but I'm not sure anymore. No idea if it still exist or not.

Guess there aren't enough 'Lake Trout' places or they are being driven out by them. Shame

IMO. Why get 'wound up' over Rye bread, "cotton bread" or sourdough bread. Try wholemeal spelt flour soda bread, I can make a loaf from start to finish in 30 minutes flat, that includes making the 'buttermilk' needed. It's crusty and great as it is or toasted.

I've never been a fan of peaches. Now, a nice blueberry pie, yum! My husband likes French Apple pie so I make that occasionally for him.

Blueberry pie is the only pie I eat and I'm not a fan of cake except pineapple upside down cake.

How many here know how to drive a stick? Four on the floor, or three on the tree? Still have one and had taught my kids to drive them when they were preteens. My sons first car was a Jeep and daughters was a VW. Both stick. Just finished reading all posts. Best thread on the new site. IMO. First car 1955 Belair six banger 3 on tree. $50 and paid a garage $20 for an inspection report. Broke a motor mount and gave the whole car away. Spent many weekends digging parts out of several junk yards in Essex MD. The 55 a 52 Chevy pickup with mustang drive train. A 63 impala convertible and finally a 64 Goat all manual shift. Love the bread loaf heels Most of my trips to the city by bus (23) was to the music store on Eastern Ave that I cannot remember the name of now for the life of me. Grand Parents family from NJ before moving to MD. I remember fishing off of the Sea Girt NJ pier being tied to a bench. Couldn't have been more than 4 or 5.

Seems we have a few NJ transplants. I was born and raised in Baltimore, actually in the same house my father was raised in.

baltimoresunreunited.freeforums.net/post/36380/threadwww.caranddriver.com/features/save-the-manuals-official-headquartersIn this day of computer-controlled EVERYTHING; most automatic transmissions will do the job for the typical driver, unless you're doing the Nuemburgring, or VIR. but then even Porche's BMW's and a few other cars with standard automatics are doing well these days. Oldsters such as us are used to "shifting for ourselves;" it's a dying thing among millennial and Gen-xers. I love my old '84 VW GTI, it's relegated to weekend driving now, looks beat up, needs some work, but it's still one hell of a lot of fun to drive on the back roads.

Lol, that was my first "real" more or less job. A TV repair shop on Ft. Mead, he didn't pay squat but I did't need much and I thought it was a fun gig.

Talk about a horse with no name. My Father was a real sharp man when it came to numbers and negotiating his employment contracts. He ...to save taxable dollars always included a car in the contract. The company owned it....so they wrote it off...and they saved a bit of cash not paying him outright the return balance of the car. He used to get used cars. His first one that was new was a Rambler 'Classic 660' I think....it was a tank...and a piece of garbage it was always in the shop. But it was the very first new car my family ever had. Irony, it had a straight block 6 cast iron.....which I am almost sure the same as the one I have in my 1996 jeep. Can't kill that engine. Gas version of a diesel... in block construction IMO.
