This is my unnamed sourdough starter blorping away on the counter in its charming green mason jar. About to go back into the fridge for two weeks.

You got to name the starter! It's the best part. I had a starter named David Doughie until I accidentally killed it when I turned the oven on without pulling him out first before a bake. Now Breadie Mercury has been working hard for the past 8 months or so.

Looks good though! I also scrape off the crust bits and reincorporate it. That's a good ides to freeze them as backups though!

I've always felt a little weirded out by the naming thing, but maybe someday a name will present itself.

Rough on the oven thing. :(
