I received this sourdough starter from a baking class I attended a few weeks ago. We learned all about the care and feeding of our starter. This particular starter is named Jane Dough. Clever, but I didn't name her. My cousin has one name, Kneady B. That made me giggle.
So why am I focused on this sourdough starter? Well, I take care of it, have been discarding and experimenting using both the discard and the starter, and just learning the art of sourdough. It's been a journey.
The other day, I went in to check on Jane Dough and was so delighted to see a full rise in my jar! When you see the starter double like this with all of those wonderful bubbles, you know that starter is ready, Freddie!
That simple joy from seeing a plant grow, watching a baby smile, delighting in your sweet pet being at your side, and yes, even seeing a sourdough starter grow! I never want to live my life so fast that I miss the little things that are all around me. These simple joys can turn a bad day into a wonderful day.
Choose to see the small things and then be grateful for each smile in your life. May you fully LIV2DAY! Happy Sunday!
