Yeastie Boys, in the kitchen, we bring the heat,
Mix it up, bake it right, can’t be beat,
Golden crust, perfect rise, every time we meet,
Bread for life, feel the vibe, in every bite you eat.*
I’m toasting, I’m baking, it’s out of the oven,
Got bread in my hand, and now I’m feeling something,
Buttery, delicious, spread it on so thick,
Now you know my secret, it’s the bread that I pick.*
@Kyeh I do indeed, but I was summoned into a thread in which some sort of participation was required post haste. Lacking anything intelligent to add about yeast, I threw in some alternative organisms for conversation"s sake…
Bob, after Bob the semi-sentient sour dough starter who is kinda the hero of Ursula Vernon’s (T. Kingfisher’s?..I can’t remember which name she uses for this one) book, “A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking”.
It’s a great, fun story which I highly recommend. Suitable for older kids…I think? I’d let my cats read it. They’re 10 and 11. But they can’t read. And, also, they’re cats.
I went to a local farmer’s market on Friday and there were 2 vendors selling sourdough bread. I asked each them if they named their starter. They chuckled and said no, but they were aware that people do that.
Pillsbury?

@DLPanther Pair it with this?
/youtube Beastie Boys - Peanut Butter and Jelly
Doughbie Gillis?
French pun
“Du Pain dans le Derrière”
Or the reverse english version,
Pain in the Butt.
@ExtraMedium That’s actually bread in the butt which is a little concerning.
Talk about a weird way to get a yeast infection 
@ExtraMedium It’s a bit long, but I’m definitely liking the play on “pain” and “bread.”
Sheena Yeaston?
Robert Breadford?
Eddie Breadmayne?
@Kyeh
Clint Yeastwood?
“Make my daily bread.”
@Kyeh (OOPS, missed yours above)
@macromeh I stole mine from the internet
. Your quote is good!

@OnionSoup I already have a face-themed phrase in my life, but good thought!
Brings up questions:
A “knead-yeast colony”?
Do they stay wrapped in towels?
@shahnm We’re awaiting your inspired suggestions here …
@Kyeh I’m waiting for some more details about it. For example, does it fit the mold or is it more of a fungi?
@shahnm You’ll have to ask @DLPanther
@Kyeh @shahnm Sometimes a fungi is cultured, sometimes not.
@shahnm Do you really not know what sour dough starter is?!
@Kyeh I do indeed, but I was summoned into a thread in which some sort of participation was required post haste. Lacking anything intelligent to add about yeast, I threw in some alternative organisms for conversation"s sake…
@shahnm So no names from you, then?
@Kyeh I think @shahnm needs to ask his batteries first what will happen if he puts the colony in the fridge - will they keep it warm in there.
@Kyeh I’m afraid I’m going to have to sit this one out… Too much other stuff going on, and I can’t brain anymore tonight…
@Kyeh I will point out that there were a couple of puns in my original comment, if you read them the way they played in my head…
@shahnm Har!
I think the contest (?) is still open so you’ll have time later if you get inspired.
My daughter’s first pet was a sourdough sponge. I figured if she could feed it every day we could move up to a goldfish
His name was Steve.
@capnjb That’s adorable
Alton Brown named his “funkytown”
@DLPanther Channeling his shows, they could also be 'burp" or “belch”
Patience.

Whoops. My mistake. I’m getting to that age I guess.

Kinda like Irk

Or just Daryl
@ybmuG Daryl? Nah, I don’t see it - more like my other sponge Daryl.

I really wanted to come up with something clever/fun on my own, but I haven’t managed anything yet.
Hmm. That gives me an idea … maybe “Creative Commons” is an option?
I suppose it depends on what type of nerdy you are.
@xobzoo same, so I asked a non-artificial “intelligence”
Dougha Lipa
Rachel Maddough
Brigitte Bardough
@Kyeh I was going to suggest Brigitte Bardough, but I googled it an found it was already used for sourdough starter. Marlon Brandough was used as well
@heartny
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bob, after Bob the semi-sentient sour dough starter who is kinda the hero of Ursula Vernon’s (T. Kingfisher’s?..I can’t remember which name she uses for this one) book, “A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking”.
It’s a great, fun story which I highly recommend. Suitable for older kids…I think? I’d let my cats read it. They’re 10 and 11. But they can’t read. And, also, they’re cats.
@gt0163c If it’s a graphic novel, Ursula Vernon. If it’s text, T. Kingfisher. (And I need to get that one.)
@werehatrack That’s a reasonable general rule of thumb. But Castle Hangnail and Black Dogs are text and have Ursula Vernon as the author.
@gt0163c adding that to my reading list, sounds right up my alley
Yeasterday… all my troubles seemed so far away…
@Kidsandliz Suddenly, I’m not half the loaf I used to be.
@Kidsandliz @phendrick
Yeasterday, deals were such an easy find and pay
@pakopako @phendrick
Oh I believe in meherday.

@heartny tbh I hope I’m not jinxing myself, I don’t name my pet fish for a reason
