Sourdough Day 4 is here and things are looking a little different today! I took the lid off and Willynilly is noticeably more liquidy and a little darker than before — and before you panic, both of those things are completely normal at this stage. This is exactly what is supposed to happen on Day…
Sourdough surprise — I was not expecting this, and I am still a little teary about it if I am being completely honest with you. Yesterday a package arrived at my door from Amazon with no return name and no return address. Just a gift. From someone in this community who wanted to cheer me…
Sourdough Day 3 is here and we have a name! I asked my community to help me name our little sourdough starter, and the people have spoken — his name is Willynilly. I mean, could it be more perfect? If you are wondering where the name came from, you are going to want to go…
