Your sourdough adventure reminds me of another blogger who posted about other things to do with sourdough starter: Tea and Cookie's sourdough uses, which is mostly "make waffles or pancakes, freeze or eat just so." It all sounds wonderful to me. I tried making a starter many years ago, but the yeast/bacteria wasn't right and the flavor wasn't worth it as a result. Someday perhaps I'll do it again.

Meanwhile, I wonder how Aeryn Sun would handle the Rome setting? Something tells me she'd do just fine. Especially if she fell in with Voranus.
