Old Time Frogers' Homade Power Mix, First Time Culture

[deranged chipmunk]

I've done this method before. Too much work, too messy and crashed way too early. They also seemed to be mold magnets, no matter how much or what kind of yeast i sprinkled in there.

I know about the risks of mold, but I just can't use the commercial mixes unless I want to risk going to the hospital every time I handle a culture. I am not kidding about how deathly ill my allergy makes me, and every exposure makes it that much worse. I can't even be in the same room as any food item that contains the stuff that is not completely sealed and ice cold so it does not give off fumes. I have to take Benadryl any time someone in the apartment heats a frozen meal that contains it. They don't prescribe Epi-Pens to hypochondriacs. They prescribe them to people who have ended up in the emergency room. I once actually got a doctor's note to excuse me from my father's cooking because he did not believe me.

Oh and did I mention not being able to walk for a week because I got blisters on my soles from walking across my sister's carpet where she had spilled a can of Creole seasoning and vacuumed it up repeatedly over months. Paprika is a persistent, constant, chronic, toxic menace to my continued existence. I am more afraid of a can of pepper spray than I am of a loaded gun because the cop with both knows the one is lethal, he does not know the spray is too until the person he sprays goes into anaphylactic shock. So yes I obey the law as if my life depended on it, because it dose.

Wish me luck, don't tear me down. It may not have worked for you, but it is my only real hope.
