Rostess, when you stir it, it always loses its bubbles. I'm sure it will bubble again. Chookie will be able to advise better than me.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

My starter was looking so healthy and frothy this morning and then I stirred it and now it looks lifeless :( Could it be that it's too cool inside?

I think it is the cold weather.  Mine is doing the same.

I've been feeding my starter inside for 8 days now and there's no movement so I'm starting again. I'm wondering if I left it outside too long and it over activated?? It was so bubbly until it came inside.

chookie, with this try should I bring it inside once it's started bubbling rather than leaving out for the 3 - 4 days?

I tried using my rye starter to make blueberry muffins today, so that I had yet another way to use my starter.  I posted the recipe in the cakes thread:

They turned out beautiful straight out of the oven, but it remains to be seen how well they keep over time.

They look great. I've just started a new starter of my own - third try lucky, and I also received some of Chookies in the mail today so hopefully by next week I'll be posting a photo of my successful sourdough loaf.

Wonder , with the warmer weather,  this is a good idea.

Katie,  this is some of the best SD I have seen.  Congratulations.

Karen,  i would be interested to see how they are after a couple of days.  

I saw an interesting idea for savory pancakes ,  with spring onions in the batter.  Think this would work well with SD.

I used my SD starter to make some of Uni's pancakes for dessert, filled them with  Tmx custard from the EDC and fresh strewberries, rolled them up heated some of Tanina's strawberry and vanilla bean jam to pour over the top, cream and Voila yummy sweets .
