Sprouts and starter

The sprouts are doing well as you can see below. They are, I maintain, ridiculously easy to grow. At some point I'll do a cost analysis and talk about consumption. I've picked up one good habit though, when I rinse the sprouts I pour the rinse water into a cup and drink it. If you find floaties nauseating this might disturb you, but I figure I'm going to eat the sprouts anyway :). So since I rinse the sprouts several times a day I tend to drink more water.



I've also started a starter (that sounds funny) I used the procedure at this sourdough site which is simple. Essentially I took a mason jar and put in a cup of water and a cup of flour and left it out 24 hours. Then I dumped half (guessed) and then added 1/2 C of flour and 1/2 C of water. I started it on 5/17, Monday night, so I'll feed it a second time tonight. By Friday I hope to have a little 'herd' of yeast living in my jar. My goal is to then use this in the 'no-knead' bread recipes.
