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.

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 ...

Day 4 Miraculously, Cindoughrella seems to still be alive.

 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
