Starter

The other day I was talking with my friend Jessica about the 

bread starter Christian had made so we could up our pizza dough game.

Then she told me that her grandma Linda has a 50+ year starter

that she's given out to all her children and grandchildren, and I left her

home with some of my own grandma Linda starter.

I immediately went home and made a batch of pizza dough 

for our pizza night on Friday, using the heirloom starter.

I also made a sourdough loaf using Christian's starter.

I thought about Jane the whole time.

She was the sourdough queen and made the most delicious

loaves of bread.  When she left on her mission (ONE YEAR AGO)

she asked me to feed her starter, but I didn't,

and it died in the fridge, and I feel terrible about it.

When she gets home in January, we'll have TWO starters 

to use, and I bet she'll take to BYU with her, too.

Unfortunately, I had to leave while my bread was in the oven

so I asked Christian to take it out when it was done.

 He sent me a text:

It was AMAZING, and we'll see about the pizza

dough on Friday (fingers crossed).
