Waikikirie, I hope you try making starter again – it can be a long process, but summer is definitely the easier time to do it, if you live in a cold climate; starter likes to be kept warm, which isn't easy if you're keeping your thermostat at 60°F! Choose a week, and set aside 10 minutes first thing in the morning, before work, each day, so you don't forget. You're an old pro in the kitchen, I can tell, and I KNOW you can do this! Plus, you can always call our baker's hotline if you get stuck... PJH
