Cindoughrella Day 5

Glass shards which used to be a canister.


As per instructions from Ken at Kensington Sourdough, i dumped half of my starter in the garbage bowl. Yikes! He warned me to be merciless. 😳
I then added 1 cup of flour and about 1/2 cup of water. (Instructions called for up to a cup, and that it should be somewhat hard to stir, so I stopped short of a cup.
Today, I’m gonna let Cindoughrella rest by the French doors in my kitchen, Hoping it’ll be a little bit warmer than the laundry room. My instructions suggest that it rest in the oven with the light on, but alas, the light in my oven does not work. 💡
In spite of my inexperience, serious things are happening in my kitchen. 
On a sidenote, I ordered two glass canisters to store my bread, flour and my rice flour from Walmart, which were delivered today in thousands of pieces.😡 Guess I’ll have to break down and go toWalmart in person.

Then, I started accumulating what I thought were the necessary ingredients and tools. After I had invested a significant amount of money and stuff, that it turns out I don’t really need. I learned that the gold prospectors in California in 1850 did not need any of the stuff I had purchased. Since I knew it would be several days before I could even start a starter, I began by making what I hoped would be bread bags coated with beeswax and jojoba oil. I bought a pack of linen and napkins, and started sewing up bags. I found cute Cricut Design Space Sourdough images. My first attempt at applying the cute image resulted in the design being backwards. Not ...

 Add 1/2 cup flour and up to 1/2 cup water.  My instructions from Kensington Flour say, “Say something pleasant to your starter.” As soon as I fed her, I told Cindoughrella that she was doing great and to try to make lots of big bubbles today. 😃 We’ll see how the day goes. Today she’s gonna hang out in the microwave with the light on while the laundry 🧺 room is busy.😁🍞 New additions to the supplies
