What a dough head

[wayfaringwordhack]

I tossed my sourdough starter out!  I had put it into a different jar so I could clean the one I normally keep it in, and when I came across this "different" jar of starter in the fridge, I thought it was some extra that had been forgotten.  I just poured it down the drain.  Then today, when I went to feed it...no more starter. >.<

It had just reached a stage where I was finally getting good, consistent results with my bread. Now I have to start all over.

Argh!

No, you don't have to knead the sourdough. The long fermentation takes care of that part for you. I used to love to knead dough until I got the tendinitis. Now I find it painful and really got on a no-knead kick.

Don't be weirded out by the starter! It is the coolest thing. And sourdough pasta? Scrumptious! I've been meaning to post a recipe and photos.... One of these days.

I still have a couple of your comments I need to reply to. Gnat brain, that's me.
