Starter - RIP

I've noticed that about every 12-18 months my starter will just quit on me. Sourdough starter is actually a unique symbiosis between two different types of bacteria. I've actually seen this coming for a while now and have been wanting to experiment with a more authentic San Fransisco sourdough.

The problem is that 95% of all San Fransisco sourdough starters out there are NOT from San Fransisco (or even California).

The last starter I got was from Texas, there were two more from different parts of Texas, one from Iowa, one from Idaho and one from Oregon. I finally found one that's from San Jose Califorina which is about as close as I could get with mail-order. It should arrive this week so I'll let you know how it turns out!

I tried 30 min (vs 32-34) today

I wasn't overly impressed with the results.
