Andrea, I can sympathize with you completely! We just moved and I had to give away lots of food, including my starter, since we had kids, dogs, and fish in the car moving from Tucson, AZ to Salem, OR. So now we're north anyway; just need to get hubby to move east :) I, too, would love working at KAF. Regarding your sourdough starter, next time don't chuck it if it's neglected unless it stinks (not just very sour, but rather rotten) or is red. Even if it's black it can be revived. The KAF ap book has info on this and there's probably lots of stuff in the discussion groups, but basically you stir it down, discard a little, and feed it. Keep feeding as normal and you should see it revive in a few days. I know you're hoping there won't be a next time that it's neglected, but I've got 3 kids and would be surprised if there wasn't a next time :) Good luck! Dana
