Let us all hold hands and make a plan.  What could we get up to all by ourselves?????

I am relaxed about the sourdough . I am gunna build up  my  starters and then I am going to make a magnificent loaf of bread which I will eat with fresh made butter!

Most people have a small jar.

Looks delicious, Uni.  Just about to head off for my usual porridge - not nearly as exciting as your crepe!

Oh I hope this is worth it, my second starter still doesn't look good but I have fed it and am trying to keep it warm I will keep at it for a few days, at least I know what a good one looks like now, maybe best to wait until it is summer.

Actually I was referring to my starter before I moved it to its new house. It did look like your second one, so don't go moving yours...

Yes, don't give it a new house to live in.  Mine didn't like the move and has shutdown.  Not one bubble in sight.

I had to transfer to a larger jar, seemed ok.

Worth the effort though.

My starter may be ok, it all sunk to the bottom with water on top, so I have just been feeding it flour no water to thicken it up, I figured it couldn't do any harm, and now it looks like it might come good, a few bubbles look to be forming.

Brenda you just stir that liquid on top back into your starter.  I would keep adding both the flour and the liquid - right Chookie?
