Yeasty!

 

24 hours after kicking the process off, the starter has taken and the sourdough is good and gassy. It smells quite disgusting -- rather like warm cottage cheese. I've given it its first feeding and will do the same tomorrow and for the rest of the week. I think I might be able to use it to actually make a loaf next weekend. Keep your fingers crossed that it doesn't die off during the week; I know how hopeless I am at keeping house plants alive. Posted by Picasa
