    Thanks for the wonderful pictures. There's nothing I like more than
    pictures of bread-baking. I envy you with all your cultures going. It's
    great inspiration.

    I think I can dry some & send it by mail, if you want. I have never
    tried it, but that is how Carl's starter is sent to those who want it.

    Oooh, Oooh, May I please have some? with instructions? Sounds like
    fun!

    If you want some of mine, I will dry some & send it. Email me with
    your snail-mail addy & I'll dry some over next weekend and do it. Rye
    or white based or both?

    If you want a tried & true, surefire starter, you want Carl's, for the
    "price" of a SASE (that is 39 cents more expensive than mine), try
    here:

    The advantage of Carl's is that you get all the instructions in Word
    or pdf format online, I have no instructions. I'd have to wing it.

    The other adventurous thing to do is start one, 2 tbsp of water & 2
    tbsps of flour, left in a tupperware on the counter, toss half -
    3/4ths each day and replenish with 2+2.

    Then you could what I do...make some, get some from Carl's and then
    scrounge bakeries. IT is all fun!

    Again, drop me a line with any requests or questions.

    Boron, what does 2+2 represent? 2T water and 2 TB flour?
    Thanks,

    For me, yes,,,2 tablespoons of each. Some prefer a starter of pancake
    consistency, others prefer one that is more firm. This is my own
    method, but there are detailed instructions in the sourdough FAQ. Find
    things from here:
