Do you know of good site that has conversion tables to change weight to volume for cooking? Thanks ~ Gally On the 170 grams of starter, about what would that equate to in cups?

What I ended up doing is mincing up both some of the green bell and some of the red jalapeno ~ I deveined and seeded the little hot bastards first ~ and putting them in where the red bell would have gone in. It made it just a little bit hot, well, warm, rather muy poco picante like. And I cooked a bit of corn cause I was going to try putting some in the blender but ended up just putting the corn into the regular soup. Man, it was perfect, Mimi. Your directions are so clear and easy. I was able to do it in these clear increments using the timer. It was done when Ernest and Ralph got back with a load of wood and they loved it. I had to make the garlic bread out of Walmart hotdog buns but still, nice surprise for them, they were very happy. Did some tapioca pudding and some ice tea. I got down some country music right fast on Itunes ~ Steve Earl! One of them kind of days. I guess cause it is so weird here. A rattlesnake was right outside the back door last week and Ernest had to shoot it when he got home from Walmart, which I hated. That is, that it had to be shot. Then this morning on my walk I run across a rattler stretched out in the road. I made a sound like Curly of the Three Stooges and took off running! No need to shoot that one. On a later walk, he was gone. Thanks for the great recipe, Mimi! The starter is bubbling away. I am going to look over your site real good before I mess with it. Gally The soup turned out wonderful.

It's fine to leave out the green pepper - or to put it in. The nice thing about this soup is that it has flexible margins. No saffron - OK! The thyme will do, and the cherry tomatoes will mellow both flavor and color. Jalapenos? Sounds good to me. Let me know how it turned out... and when you bake with your new starter, too. Hi, Lorna,

Here is what I got: a pound of cod, onion, carrot, celery, garlic, parsley, bay leaf, fresh thyme, salt, black pepper, eight cherry tomatoes, one fourth of a big old dark green bell pepper, and any number of small red ripe jalapenos. No saffron. But once one of my no good ex husbands stole some for me. I think he traded it for some weed though. Anyway, what about this pepper, Mimi? Do I need to leave out the green bell entirely and just put a shredded jalapeno in there the last ten minutes? Jalapenos are about as big as the last joint of my thumb. I hope you get to answer this in the next 45 minutes, but if not, I will still be glad to get your slant on this cause it will make it better the next time. Oh! My starter was doing heavenly based on your instructions. But what I did with it was a disaster. Best not dwell on it. But I started a new one today!
