Just a reminder that the starer I brought to you Guys at the MWSO

needs to be re-newed or used this week.

Also, what you have is a half starter.

Most of the stuff written on the Forum is for a full starter.

I think most of you have my number so call if I can be of help.

If you don't have my number and need to talk to me, PM me

and I will send it.

This has been a Public Service Reminder. ;D

Thanks to Sonny's Sweet Bread Starter Hotline, we have renewed and will probably be baking some rolls or bread tomorrow.

Thanks for the assist Sonny!

Woke up this morning to find this.

Then I lifted the towel and it looked something like this.

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/083111073145.jpg)

So I put 1/2 a cup back in the jar and made 3 more starters with the other cup of starter. One was delivered to my sons fourth grade teacher and the other is waiting to see if Miss Rachels science teacher wants it.

First try!

Been a long time since I worked with bread dough.  I'll tell you one thing, these are good!  Oh yeah, there are several missing from the group in the pic.  Jan and I snatched them up and started eating before I could even think about a camera. :)

Thanks so much Sonny!

Sonny, I think you need a google map to show the bread keepers when you go to the reunion. If you send me the info I'll put it together. I think they would get kick to see how far the starter has gone.

I kinda stopped keeping track of it, but maybe we can get a roll call of where all it is.

As a bread starter newbie I am proud to say I'm in the Commonwealth of Kentucky!  The 1/2 starter is perfect for Jan and me.  Made 18 rolls.  Could have made 2 smallish loaves of bread instead.  That would last until time to feed the starter and go at it again.  I used to make bread a lot a long time ago so it will take me a bit to get back in the saddle but I'll get there.

Thanks again Sonny.

Guess we didn't do any harm to the starter.  Look what I found in the frig this morning.  The mark on the jar is the level when we replaced the starter.

This stuff is awesome.

:o  :o  :o                             :o  :o  :o

                  P E R F E C T !

Just a couple of notes:

1/2 starter jar> nothing smaller than a pint jar

1 cup starter jar> nothing smaller than a quart jar.

Plastic jars are iffy, ask Quarlow.  ::)  :o  ;D

There is pressure in the jar from the yeast being made.

Remove the lids slowly and let some of the gas escape if possible.

KN, GREAT job!
