I have gotten to a point where I reliably generate Bread instead of Breadlike Substance with my sourdough baking. Time to branch out?

Recipes to try:
Walnut and Raisin Porridge Bread
Sourdough Pandesal

...also somewhere around here I have a book of just sourdough baking and a book of recipes from Zingerman's Bakehouse including bread; should investigate those.

Current Mood: accomplished

...Carlos blew the lid off his container, warping it beyond salvage in the process. (I fed him the usual amount last night, after taking him out of the fridge, where he has been since last week's baking/feeding, yesterday morning. This is what I do every weekend that I bake.)

A plastic take-out container full of nice bubbly sourdough starter, next to its former lid, which has been warped from 'flat except as needed to affix to the container' to 'kind of a dome now'

is he that excited that I got actual proofing baskets for Christmas? Does he just like being fed whole wheat flour that much? Is he freaked out that on the holiday weekends I'm baking on Monday instead of Saturday? Is he trying to make a break for the sink drain and thus the sewer system where he will feed on the waste of the good people of Ypsilanti and become a crusader against fatbergs?

he's never done this before, except for the one time when he was a baby and needed to be moved to a bigger jar.

note to self: put a pinhole in the new lid.
