New Sourdough Experiment and Kombucha after 7+ months of not happening

So after all these years of making sourdough bread I discovered recently that it wasn't "real" sourdough,  you know,  not like the pioneers made it,  rather it's a hybrid type of bread between all out fake sourdough we buy at the store (yeah,  it's just terrible,  store bought sourdough bread isn't really sourdough) and a modern "cheat" sourdough that employs yeast as a rising agent instead of the actual adequately fermented flour we're supposed to be using as the rising agent.  

I of course have to give this pioneer sourdough a shot and see if the flavor is all it's cracked up to be.  I mean after all,  there could come a time when we won't be able to get store bought yeast,  it's nice to know we won't need to  in order to have good bread.

Hmmm,  got to ferment this 'just' flour and water mixture...wonder how long it'll take before it's ready?

Then we just cover it with a cloth and get back to it in no more and no less than 24 hrs, but we'll have to repeat it a few times or more before it'll be enough to make that classic sourdough.

My two kombucha jars after 7+ months,  I'm actually surprised they made it this long without going moldy, but they sure did and I've got more than enough starter fluid to make up an all new batch of kombucha.

In 7 - 10 days this will be ready for the 2nd ferment process where I add the flavors I want to put in....  More on that when I get to it for sure.  Kombucha is a healthier alternative to regular pop for sure and when I get my scoby hotel going again I can start selling my excess scobys to people who would like to try this awesome stuff for themselves.  

I can't do that  right now because unfortunately,  my scoby hotel was a casualty of the past 7+ months of neglect it received due to all the trouble our family's been through and I had to get rid of the thing,  it's not good to use anything mold infected.

Not going to throw away those tea bags,  they're going out to the compost pile I plan to use for starting my vegetable and herb garden next year,  God willing.
