She copied my no-poo and my solar oven.  Well, fair is fair, huh?  I’m copying her sourdough.

Y’all read my friend KimC @ Life in a Shoe, right?  For those of you who don’t know, Kim and I are good friends IRL.  And part of the reason we are such good friends is that we think alike.

And today she posted about making a sourdough starter and I thought it was such a fine idea on so many levels…

• delicious sourdough bread
• no need for store-boughten yeast
• homeschool chemistry lesson on the hoof [so to speak]
• won’t it be cool to say, “Would you like to taste my sourdough bread I baked in my solar oven?”!!!
• did I mention delicious sourdough bread

…that as soon as I read most of her post and most of the starter recipe that she linked to, I jumped up and went in search of the perfect sourdough starter container.

You know, it has to be at least 2 qt., made of glass or ceramic, no metal parts, clean.  Picky, picky, picky.  But I found it and we’re off and running.  Never mind that it’s 10 p.m.  Sourdough needs started and it needs started now!

So, here’s your link to Kim’s post about it.

Here’s your link to the starter recipe.

Here’s a photo of my starter, just minutes old and you’ll notice it’s being guarded by a desert tank (I dunno, I guess ‘cuz of the cloth covering on the jar?).

And here’s a photo of my other latest project.  Ya know, if the electricity is gone you have to make your own music.  Just sayin’.

(psst!  it’s called a mountain ocarina)
