Sourdough Starter - Day #5

Taking its First Steps

 

Day #5 of your goo Baby

That starter of yours is probably getting pretty bubbly by now

It’s growing

Coming to life

You’re creating a new little life

You should be so proud

 

By now your little goo Baby

Should be slightly smelly

A little acidy

A little sour

And bubbly

 

So, what if it’s not?

What if you’re behind the growth curve?

In the lower percentile?

 

Do not despair Dear Parent

It’s okay

Some Babies develop later

But, this is a good time

To check your water

Check your flour

Make sure your environment is good

(see Day #1 notes here)

 

None-the-less

Let’s give it a few more days

A few more

Groundhog days that is…

 

By now your Baby is starving

Let’s feed it

 

By now you should know the drill

1/3 cup of warm water

&

½ cup flour

Mixed into your goo Baby until smooth

Put its kitchen towel diaper over it

And lull it to sleep

 

Grab that glass of wine

Whiskey

Beer

Cider

Mead?

Hug your Honey

And take pleasure in another day of successful parenting

 

I’ll see you tomorrow!
