Penelope is the lastest addition to my tasting team, though I think it is going to be a while before she gets into the sourdough

What a cute bun! I have nine myself, and I agree with you about YOUR life being over, at least for a while!

Don't faint, I have terrific kids. I homeschooled them all and they are very creative and fun to be around. Besides I am getting my life back. My oldest is 25 and my youngest is five so at least the baby stage is OVER!
Now I bake sourdough!

Having been on another planet for the last few months and in France for the last couple of weeks I came on this quote and thought, oh, we're back to who's got the most starters bubbling away.

Wrong again.

Congratulations - and I like the name Penelope (although we always pronounce it Penny Lope after Penelope Casas who writes great Spanish cookery books.

thanks Mick!

I'm not even going to try to compete with Teresa. Three is enough for me (or so it seems to me in my bleary-eyed state)

welcome back. perhaps we could convince you to share your baguette expertise in the[url=http://www.sourdough.com.au/forum//viewtopic.php?t=518]great baguette bake-off[/url] ?

cheers

Well I guess you could kinda say kids are like starters bubbling away.

I might have a go at the baguette bake off. How long do I have. Can't get to it until next week.

no rush Teresa. I think that it is going to be an ongoing project

You mean the baby-making or the baguette baking Dom?
If the first then you have to make a bit of an effort mate!!

I just did, Carla.

It's fascinating reading about their experiences in a culture different to my own .. wonderful!

Although I don't fancy the hospital's birth rules!

Thanks, ladies.

Yes, that hospital sucked. It was a university/government hospital...since Cindy (the mom) is a govt doctor. We were all very very sorry for Chris (the husband) that he couldn't witness the birth. Quite different from private hospitals.

Bill, I am not sure whether life starts now (there is considerable philosophical debate about the moment of onset of 'life' or 'personhood', and whether it occurs at conception, or at some point thereafter. I tend to the view that birth is not a significant transition point in moral status, but I suspect after all that you were meaning something else by your comment.) This is my third. My life ended a long time ago...

thanks for all your kind thoughts
for serious baby addicts, today's photos can be found at http://sourdom.sourdough.net.au/penelope/

(she looks less like a rugby player today)

cheers

Congrats anyway Dom!

Congrats Dom!

I like to consider a baby as the closing of one chapter and the opening of another..... Now when you go out on a family outing you have more children than adults, it's a subtle but important change!

All the best.

Matthew
