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.

Cindoughrella Day 7

 We’re getting to a critical point!  Per instructions: discard, feed, wait, and CONGRATULATIONS At this point, you probably have a fully active starter! How can you tell? 1. Bubbles. And 2. When you discard then feed it, it doubles in size over the next 6 to 8 hours. Note 1 See page 2 How to discard and feed For instructions for feeding on day seven and every day going forward. Note 2 Waking up to an overflowing starter jar messing up your kitchen is an important right of passage! Do not be mad at your starter. Note 3 After It doubles or triples it will gradually shrink again. This is normal. I transferred Cindoughrella to a 1 quart Pioneer Woman measuring cup so I could better gauge her growth. I can’t take a picture of her new home cause I used up all my edits. I’m going to try to bake tomorrow or the next day. I might try to make sour dough pancakes tomorrow.
