A few additional notes about sourdough starters . . . I have been making and using starters for about 40 years. My current starter began when we were camping in the Sierras 20 years ago. It is happy and very active. It often sits (neglected) in the back of my refrigerator for weeks, sometimes months. It always begins to bubble actively within a couple hours of feeding it. For some reason, the "hooch" (old sourdough term) the collects on top is gray in color. I was told that is OK, but orange is NOT GOOD! Sometimes I pour that off before feeding, and sometimes I stir it in. I often make waffles, rolls, or gingerbread with it. I'm looking forward to trying some of your recipes. Thanks for publishing so many recipes and ideas for sourdough.
