MM is correct. I know them. And I went to google and was surprised to see how easy it was to turn them up. So who said this, and what did he nearly trip on, "Sleep tight, ya morons!"

sssshhhh... I only log in at work and I didn't work this weekend thankfully. My starter looks like Ernest now. The liquid is now on top and I gave it its day 4 refreshments. My problem now is that Day 10 unfortunately falls on Saturday and I'm going away for Labour Day weekend. What to do, what to do! I had considered packing it up in my car but I don't think it'd hold up too well in my little old car with no a/c unless I take it to the shop this week and my great big dog. Anyway, very bad timing on my part. I'm considering feeding it a day early and sticking it in the fridge for the weekend. Then, start regular feeding on Tuesday next week. Or I can stick it in the fridge the way it is and slow everything down?

Risa,

My gut and intuition dictate to feed it a day early and stick it in the fridge for the weekend.

Lets see what our experts have to say since I have no hands-on for this problem! I meant TBH and KyleW...

A moderator would be nice too, now that I think of it!

My guess is that you have lots of active little beasties by now. By Thursday you should see an increase in the number of bubbles rising out of the ooze and running to their death at the surface. If you do, I would feed it Thursday morning and let it sit out. I would feed it again Thursday night and put it in the fridge Friday morning. When you get back you can start to feed it again. Remember that if you are feeding it twice you need to feed it the same amount as if you were feeding it 3 times/day. I think it was 19.25 OZ of flour and 20 OZ water.

Just one man's opinion

Thanks Kyle. That sounds like good advice to me. I'm actually fortunate enough to be able to feed the starter three times a day since I go home for lunch to check on my other pet

I actually forgot to look this morning. I used to have it sitting in the middle of my dining table because it was the coolest place aside from my bedroom. I now have it inside the box that my mixer came in and the box is beside the table. This was just so it doesn't gross people out when they come over. Last I looked, most of the goopy stuff is on the bottom and the reddish liquid on top with the grapes kinda in between. The smell wasn't too bad... a fruity and mild cheese smell.

Sounds perfect!

RE: The Box - I'd leave it out for all to see and skeeve over. Then, when they are drooling over your bread, remind them of its origins.
