Sourdough, Sandwich Bread and Ravioli... No, not together!!!

So the sourdough experiment continues. It doesn't really seem to do much except right after it's fed, in which case it quickly puffs up, but then when I stir it, it goes back down and stays down until it's fed again. If anyone out there stumbles across this and knows how the heck to make sourdough, will you please tell me if this is supposed to be happening?

Anyway, I've been itching to make ravioli again. I've made ravioli once before, with a cheese and chicken filling, and it tasted great, but looked... not great. So I'm going to try again, but I want to try a variety of fillings, so I'm going to make a bunch of half- or quarter-batches and have friends and family taste-test them. A couple are recipes I got from various places, and a few are things I just thought up. We'll see how it all turns out. Unfortunately, I need bread crumbs, so first I have to bake bread. >.< Isn't that awful? I don't have any bread in my house. I've eaten it all waiting for the sourdough to reach a cookable state. So I'm making some basic vegan white sandwich bread. These loaves are particularly pretty (they're normally oblong, misshapen... things) so I'm wishing I had a camera to post up a picture! I need to start doing that with the stuff I make. Anyway, I'll update later with the ravioli recipes and which ones got crowd-approved.
