ugh gonna have to start a new sourdough starter; this one has a bit of mold in the sides of the jar (not on the starter itself) and ik some ppl on the internet say u could just take some of it out to a new jar and keep going, I think the safest bet is to just start over. It's only a month old, and better to go back a month than to always wonder if I'm lowkey poisoning myself every time I make bread (and wouldn't feel comfortable abt sharing that bread/starter with other ppl bc one thing to poison urself, but others?? that's a big no).

#sucks but anyways it's a process #and I don't fuck with microbiology; too easy to accidentally grow something weird and bad #elvis truly is dead lmao (that's the name of the starter (and will be the new one's as well bc I will live one delusion that it's the same #one in spirit bc I got emotionally attached to this one))#also ik what I did wrong; like yesterday I kinda forgot to feed it and also the sides of the jar weren't fully clean (bc usually I switch #jars like once a week; not every time which is what I'll start doing from here on out)#but the new one I think I'll feed twice a day from the beginning bc noticed it rly helped ti get it going #so it might not take as long as the last one #2024 #april 2024
