Recently I changed visiting teaching partners to someone who had moved into the ward.  We got to talking and mentioned baking.  She has a San Francisco Sour Dough starter that she brought back from a trip down there and gave me some.  I managed to keep it alive long enough to get a loaf of bread out ( Read more... )
