Disposing of yeast dough disasters
Dick Margulis
you a couple grand in plumbing repairs. That stuff can fracture cast
iron sewer pipes--not to mention what it can do to a porcelain toilet.
Running it through the disposal probably broke it up enough to prevent
serious damage, and you are dealing with small quantities. It gets
interesting with 100 lb of dough. <g>
In the future (not that you're really likely to do this again), your
choices, from best to worst, are:
The compost pile (break it up into lumps, scatter them through the
pile, and cover well)
Bake the mess until dead, then toss
The trash (put into a paper sack and then into a plastic trash
bag; leave extra space in the bag and seal well; store the bag
OUTSIDE the house until pickup day)

And when people honestly share their experiences, perhaps helping others, we should
be smart and considerate enough not to make remarks like yours above.
Who are you to talk about "dumb" moves?

You were much more polite to them than I would have been. Thanks for
saving me from myself!

a problem. As an otherwise well educated person, I don't think I have ever
heard of this problem before and thank the writer for bringing it to my
attention. I'm sure it's not in any of my cookbooks or owner's manuals. I
do visit homes and other places that have disposals, and would hate to mess
up someone else's system. It ranks right up there with flushing things down
toilets that shouldn't be in septic tanks or lagoons (if you don't know
about septic systems, this is frequently a problem).
And what kind of meanspirited person answers an honest question with such an
answer? Maybe you should go back to Kindergarten and learn how to behave.
"If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." The Internet
does not give you immunity from civility. And besides that, you don't even
know who A2tomita is, do you? Yet, unless you have stolen someone's
identity, we do know who you are don't we? What if A2tomita is your
relative, your child's teacher, your minister's wife, your physician, your
local police officer, your boss, the loan officer at your bank, any number
of people that would be as offended as I at your impolite behavior. You
should always answer people on the internet as if you were in the same room
with them. You should also be aware that most e-mail programs allow
"filtering" of messages from people that are offensive. You are going on my
list, and probably thousands of other's, immediately. You will therefore
never be heard from again. "Cry wolf" style, hope you don't ever have a
problem that I could have helped you with.
Most sincerely,
D.

It amazes me how many people feel it is necessary to make other people
feel bad. I can only assume that the people that are being nasty on the
net lead sad and lonely lives. Its as if by insulting total strangers
while hiding behind the anonyminity of e-mail, they somehow make
themselves feel superior.
So sad.

I'd hate to ask any question if I even began to think I'd be called
names because I made a mistake (and let them that have never made a
mistake throw out that first !) I'd hate to mention my *blushing*
mistakes made in many things!

out of the draft. The next morning the microwave door had sprung open and the
stuff had oozed out, onto the counter and down the floor. It was not fun getting
it cleaned up.
It did smell wonderful and to this day I wonder how it would have come out.
Probably OK. After all, sourdough starters get left for days like this. But why
take a risk?

I've left the dough in the microwave too, but it only made a mess
inside...I can just see it going out the door, over the counter and on
the floor....Arrrrrrg....

an idiot." Grow up. No one is put here to make you feel good, buster. Yeah,
it was dumb to throw the dough down the disposal, but so what? Dumb isn't a
capital crime yet. (Proof? I'm still alive.) If things back up, take the
clean-out plug out of the drain pipe, run a shake down it and it's ok until
something else clogs it up. (Snakes are about $20 at HD) The real question is
why not bake the mess and see how it turns out? If you don't like the taste of
the finished product, feed it to the birds, add it to the compost pile or throw
it out with the trash. The heat of the baking process will probably kill any
offending nasty bugs.
