It was a close call. I started her last September. Just flour and water for a couple of weeks. Then she started bubbling and smelling so good. If you've never had homemade sourdough bread, no commercial yeast, just plain old starter as your leavening, you are missing something delicious!

I almost killed Betty! I am so happy she's ok.
