Update on Sourdough

The sourdough bread culture: Doing great! After watching Dr. Strangeloaf episode of Alton Brown's Good Eats, I realized that by following Mark Bittman's recipe, I had in fact violated the cardinal principle of sourdough; my sin being the innocent innoculation of my starter culture with active dry yeast, rather than allowing the local yeast-lactobacilli flora and fauna to take hold, thereby providing that particular East Georgia Flare of which we are so well known. Irregardless, I will press on with the current culture. It is bubbling nicely, being stirred each day, and is gradually, gradually developing the pleasant/unpleasant odor of sourdough bread. Here is the full-episode of Dr. Strangeloaf. I recommend watching this show often, and this particular episode immediately.
