It's kind of crazy how people back then without any kind of internet or technology just trialed things and figured all this out.
I think it's even crazier that many people can no longer function without technology. So many useful skills have been forgotten & neglected. To keep this somewhat on topic ... just look at that stuff they call bread on the store shelves. ugh. Carl's bread looks like real bread!!!

Fortunately I was able to get some from a friend
A lot of people are selling them ... I include instructions and a video link so you can see exactly what is going on ... Also email contact
Glad you got your starter so you weren't discouraged
Included is a picture of the Pumpernickel Rye Sourdough I baked yesterday ... Enjoy the visual
Mike Barkley wrote:That's an interesting article. I read somewhere that back in the pioneer days when folks were traveling cross country in covered wagons that's how they kept their starter alive. They would spread it out on a towel & let it dry in the sun before they moved to their next destination. Someone still sells starter that is supposedly from those times.

Thank you for sharing that!
I keep wanting to make sourdough, since it tastes so good, but I don't bake bread often enough to bother keeping sourdough starter alive.
