My darling, dear, wonderfully odd wife has created a new mission for herself… to instigate the spread of a growing blob-like creature to the four corners of the Earth!
Wait… four corners? Of a sphere? Who comes up with this crap?
Anyway, about a year ago Sweets as part of her coursework at the TCA, created a sourdough starter from scratch and it’s been living and growing in our fridge ever since. Its name is Bready Kruger, and he’s a happy, bubbling, alcohol producing amorphous mass of goo.
Her concept is this: send small portions of Bready Kruger to friends and family (and strangers) to grow and use and make bread from — a strong, healthy starter is a thing of wonder, and a good path to having a healthy starter of your own (and a hell of a lot easier than making one yourself). Everyone we send it to will be represented by a pin on a map. We’re encouraging these folks to in turn send a portion of Bready Kruger to their friends, family and strangers, then report back to us so we can put a pin in the map. Etc, etc, etc.
It’ll be amusing and awesome to watch the map slowly populate with pins as Bready Kruger starts traveling the world.
Go HERE to read Sweet’s post and get all the details if you’re interested in participating. The map lives as a link on the sidebar of both Sweet’s site and mine.
