I'm not trying to make excuses for myself or anything because there is no excuse for my sheer lack of blogging, except that I have bigger news. In my intense efforts to be an adult and to have full time job complete with health insurance (gotta treat those baking burns)...I have for the most part become a totally lazy cook. Now I know that the events leading up to this horrible disaster are common for the most part: blah blah you don't have time to bake anymore blah blah job blah blah social responsibilities blah non hermit blah blah career not in food blah blah...it is with heavy sadness that I admit starter defeat. I have killed my starter. BUT i swear it was an accident. Amidst moving and a new job, I totally forgot to feed it. So imagine my surprise upon opening my refrigerator, taking out some holiday leftovers and realizing with horror, what was at the back. Grey and totally unappealing...it was my starter.
Thinking I was a genius for giving part of my starter to several friends, I soon realized that they had not fed their starters either and so...
no more starter. No more fresh, delicious sourdough bread. I still have about 5 tons of flour in my cupboard, so baking will happen, I'm just widening my horizons a tad. Lets just say, there may be more "things" in "Bread and things."
