Happy Anniversary
February 20, 2008
No, it’s not my wedding anniversary, that was here. It’s not my blog-iversary, that’s not until July.
My sourdough starter is a year old! I take this as a point of personal triumph. (It’s good that little things make me happy). After all, I’ve heard the horror stories of the black sludge that overcomes many starters. It’s certainly lasted a lot longer than my original attempt when I lived in the motherland of sourdough – the SF Bay area.
We’ve enjoyed the standby sourdough loaf for sandwiches, soup bowls and spinach dip bowls (yum); the whole wheat sourdough, and the sourdough oatmeal bread. I actually bought the giant 25 lb. bag of King Arthur flour on my last Costco run. I guess that means I’m into the bread baking for the long haul.

Congratulations, I’ve never had sourdough starter live that long at my house.

Happy Birthday, Sourdough Starter!
*made me giggle to hear. I don’t have any starters, unless you count dust bunnies and grout mold.

I have those starters too, unfortunately, I’m sure they’re more than a year old… eep.
