Love your blog PJ, it very helpful to a very new newbie to sourdough baking like me! Problem (I think), I followed your directions to a T for the first few days (had it proofing in my oven with the light on) and it looks and smells great. I thought I was paying enough attention to the directions, but missed about feeding it twice daily for days 3, 4,5, then continuing for a total of a week. I got sick and got days mixed up and fed it twice daily for 3 and 4, then refrigerated it. Can it be saved and if so, what do I need to do? (I was actually feeling pretty proud of myself until I realized my mistake-go figure!). Have a great day, and thanks for any assistance.
Sourdough is SO forgiving. I'm sure it's just fine. Just continue with whatever recipe you want to use it in, feeding it before use; follow our sourdough maintenance directions for feeding. Have fun! PJH
