And lastly, an intro.

Meet Oscar, my new “pet”.

Remember my recent bread baking addiction?  Well…  It’s still going strong.  I’m determined to make a sourdough loaf, which requires a starter or pet.  A starter is a batter of flour and water that requires daily feeding and over time becomes full of living yeast and bacteria.  Sounds pretty gross, but that grossness is responsible for the delish sour taste in sourdough.

Here’s to hoping I keep Oscar alive and well!
