PJ - I tried to make a starter from the King Arthur Cookbook, and it worked nicely. Until we started moving to our new home, and I forgot to feed it. Ooops...I've been kicking around just ordering a starter, and had finally said "Nah...I'll just start my own again", placed my latest order on the website a few days ago, and moved on. Now I want sourdough. NOW. *sigh* Those loaves are beautiful. Have you ever used your extra starter for waffles? mmmmm..... I just love this blog - I check it daily, and my husband laughs that I've found people who are as obsessed with apple pie, pound cake, and bread as I am. :) I did a write up about your company on my blog just because I love what I've purchased so much. Cheapo, frugal me never would've thought she'd be ordering her flour, but....I'm a convert! And your box mixes certainly live up to your guarantee that they don't taste 'boxed.' I made Soft Molasses cookies yesterday, and they're already almost gone. ;) Now I just need to convince the Hubster to move to Vermont so I can come work at KA and play with dough all day. That's one job I could justify sending my little guy to daycare for me to do. Unless KA is as cool as I think they are, and have an on site day care? ;) The sourdough waffles will be posted on Friday, Andrea - they're yummy! Thanks for the writeup on your blog - on behalf of me and my fellow 166 employee-owners, we appreciate it. And yes, this is a wonderful place to work - employee-owned, as I said - family friendly - but we're not big enough for onsite day care... it was a dream at one time, but we're just plain not large enough to be able to offer that benefit to the very small number of folks who could use it. But come visit anyway :) - PJH
