Give Jackson Hollow's sourdough a name

Courtesy of @JacksonHollow super spy & chicken deliverer extraordinaire of Twitter She is also an organic farmer in her spare time.

1/2 tsp dry yeast, 1/2 c lukewarm water, 1 c bread flour. Feed weekly with 1/2 c water and 3/4 c flour
sourdough: should be the consistency of thick pancake batter/ muffin batter, not bread dough. consistency more important than measurements

sourdough: starter needs to "work" at least 3-5 days before use to attain real sourdough flavor, caused by the alcohol the starter produces

I love the idea of the live sourdough living on my counter :-) i may name it.

Sourdough starter can live indefinitely if fed, producing better flavor all the time.
You can say hello to Jacksonhollow at twitter @Jacksonhollow or her website which has the most beautiful photographs.
