That sourdough starter is very active. I have to start mine again. For some reason, my previous sourdough didn’t turn out okay.

Hilarious! 3x in 2 weeks? That’s got to be a record! Katie

I am on my third time resurecting my sourdough starter. My husband is afraid I am getting a God complex when I let out an evil laugh every time I start to bubbles again. Three times doesn’t seem so bad unless you consider that it has only been two weeks!

Hi there. I just wanted to say I am really enjoying your blog. I have never made sourdough before but I am tempted to try. You make it look and sound fairly simple.

I love that you bake your own bread. And I love that you show off to the world that yes, you did reuse an old pickle jar to make your dough.

Mmmmm…I haven’t had a sourdough starter in years. I’m jealous!

Thanks, Katie. I will try baking something tomorrow (we have a house showing today, so no time to bake and clean up the dishes!). For now, I’ll just feed it again and wait and see. I do see more bubbles on top this morning.

Jen,
It doesn’t have to get nearly that crazy, don’t worry! Katie

Stacy,
Vomit smelling is great! I don’t always have bubbles all the way through. I would recommend a couple things:
1. Don’t give up! You can almost always revive these guys from what I hear. It sounds (smells) like you must have something going…
2. I like to put mine on the stovetop when I’m cooking to “catch” some residual heat. Other than that, I use the oven sometimes or just on the counter if I’m not baking that day.
3. Try some of the “discarded starter recipes” Sarah Wood shared with us this week. That way you can pull some of your starter out and do a bigger ‘feeding’. That’s when my starter will pull stuff like these photos.
Don’t stress! I hope it ends up working for you! Katie

Are we on the same page, or what?!

My focus this week is bread – spelt bread. Right now I am working on a price comparison — baking bread with spelt flour vs. buying regular and specialty loaves from grocery and natural health food stores.

I’m big into spelt flour because it is an ancient grain that anyone digests well. It is also, according to The Blood Type Diet, very beneficial to my and my husband’s health.

While on the hunt I’ve also found some excellent and inexpensive resources for other ingredients including soy flour and ground flax seed. Excited!

Will post the results on this experiment in about a week.

Cheers! V.
