Thanks, PJ, for giving me the courage to admit that I am a VERY neglectful starter parent. Would you happen to know just how long starter can be neglected before it has to be tossed out? If your starter has any pink or purple in it you will need to start again. Time wise it is difficult to say. But if yours has been sitting in the back of your fridge for awhile you can feed it and see it it responds to the new food. If it does (and you may have to feed it a few times if it has been awhile) you are all set. JMD @KAF
