Am I really the only suburban sourdough daddy here? People getting all hard over dudes using garlic powder and frying avocado but not a peep on some dope crust and crumb...
I was just speaking to a neighbor the other day about wanting to start making bread regularly, like being the "bread guy" of my general area. Not sure if I want to grease some pans or find a slightly used bread-maker on ebay or something. Fucking love bread. I used to buy the focaccia at Kroger and that shit was so good.
I drive by a house on my way to work everyday and they have a "homemade sourdough sold here" sign in their front yard, and something about it just screams to me "don't buy this bread, you will pay too much and the quality will not be good".
Like, I'm not going to park my car, go up and ring their doorbell, and say, "I'd like to see the bread please?" because at that point you've already committed to buying it essentially. If you ring their doorbell and ask about the bread, but don't buy it, you're kind of a psycho.
But if I saw it at a farmer's market, or maybe down by the beach in the back of a truck with a nice quality sign, I would strongly consider paying too much for their bread.
