Sourdough Starter

I'm trying my hand at sourdough bread so I'm attempting to grow a starter.

Yesterday was my second day and when I awoke it had doubled in size and

was bubbly, looking very alive! Then I fed it, and it deflated

and looked very dead. I had two batches so I threw away the

one and kept the other, just to see what it would do. And it did

NOTHING!

So, this morning I thought I would do a little research before throwing it

out. And I came across a very informative site. The SourDoLaday explained

that after the second or third day the mixture will come alive and

bubble up, hey that's what happened to mine! Then it will

suddenly go flat and appear to be dead, yes, that's exactly

what happened! She continued to share how if you

would WAIT in about 4-5 days the mixture will take on

a new look and become frothy again. I'm glad I waited and searched

before throwing out this last batch.
I didn't take pics of the batches when they were

bubbling, but this is a pic of the 'lone' batch I kept,

after I fed it this morning.

I'll post again about my new 'pet' in about 4-5 days with pics to let you see whether
it took or not...until then let's just keep hoping :-D
