They grow up so fast! (CRG, please look, starter has arrived)

[TTNuge]

Not what I was expecting, barely got it out of the box.  Still looks sealed, definitely had a yeast smell to it though. 

All is well?  I believe you had a thread for OU812 when he got his starter so I'm off to read that and follow.

OMG I did not think a food saver bag could expand like that.  WOW  thats crazy

That is hilarious. Could you imagine opening the box and have that thing spring out at you. :D :D :D The box probably looked like he shipped you a basketball.

[classicrockgriller]

GEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

HOLY Crappiez.

I will pm you my #.

[TTNuge]

WOW, I just heard a pop from the kitchen and had images of yeast everywhere.  Fortunately it was just the ziplock bag that the food saver bag was in, it finally gave up and blew apart.

Hey CRG

Imagine what it would look like if you shipped to me in Canada.

[classicrockgriller]

This is crazy!

Trent my # is sent to you!

[OU812]

That is unreal!

I had my wife put mine in the fridge as soon as it arrived, good thing she didnt have to work that day.

CRG, maybe thats why my bag had a small leak in it, I'll have to ask her if the box was all pooched out when it arrived.

Trent, now the fun begins.

[classicrockgriller]

I was telling Trent that I "think" I put a pin hole in the top of yours.

I talked to him on the phone and all is kewl!

Poor Gus maynot get his till tomorrow! ;D

[DTAggie]

Crazy.  Would it be better to ship in a jar?

[classicrockgriller]

Glass ... USPS?

Might look for some plastic Jars for shipping if someone else wants the starter.

Now you know why people usually dehydrate their starter before shipping.  While the product may not be as "interesting" as CRG's "dough bombs," it certainly reduces the fear factor.

Something plastic and heavy, perhaps..


Or, what KH says.   ;)

ROFLMAO .... thanks Ka Honu. ;D

I am working on a dehydrated model.

I can see the news headline now: AP reports, "Explosion inside UPS Truck" Three city blocks evacuated, SWAT team deployed, neighbor says the guy "seemed friendly and normal".
