[foodhackingbase] Regarding a little bit of help on CCC

[nancy gerits]

Hi Frantisek, Hi Folks,

First of all I apologize for the silence from my side last Saturday.. Is
there another opportunity next Saturday :)?

Regarding the crowdsourcing campaign: Yes I am interested in organizing
something.. Any additional info about how you would like that to unfold?
About that I thought I would go talk to someone tomorrow: there is an
organization here that helps with small courses and information evenings
which could be interesting for a probiotics intro of some kind with some
tasting etc.. The only catch is the timing relative to the crowdsourcing
campaign, as it usually takes months to get something done here :) We'll
see and keep our fingers crossed.. Will keep you guys apprised :)

Just thought of something else to throw in the mix on the topic of
doughs and since we are going to have a pizza oven: In Elzass (close by
for me) they have something called Flammekuche: it is like a very thin
pizza, which has cream or cheese instead of tomato sauce and is topped
with lards or veggies or mushrooms
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarte_flamb%C3%A9e).. No experience with
that dough either, but  it seems easy enough to prepare and to freewheel
with; should be able to get some recipes to try them out :)

Have a great start of the week y'all :)
Cheers,
Nancy

Btw: FYI, I added the FHB village to my name in the CCC Wiki :)
Btw2: As Frantisek asked: I don't have any experience with sour dough, I
like too but unfortunately I don't tolerate it very well :(
