I Killed My Goop

So should you ever find yourself writing a blog about a sourdough starter that you have affectionately named Goop and should you have JUST finished posting about how it's coming alive again, here's what not to do. Don't leave the sourdough starter in your oven while its pre-heating to make sourdough mead bread. It's probably a bad idea. Take it from me, I'm an idiot, we know these things.

I didn't actually bake it. I just got it really really hot. Is that the same. It's not like it turned tasty and delicious. It just turned into a nice steamy goop soup. I believe the French may call such a concoction a rue. I could be wrong, I'm not French. I'm barely good enough to ask where the library is. I do know how to ask how to get to the computer room and if I can have some coffee. That's all that's really important. Oh well.

Just incase you didn't read how to make your own goop here's a quick run down. Take jar, add equal parts flour and water, stir.  In my case I had the extra step of cleaning out the burned smelly mess from the jar before adding flour and water.  You can probably skip that step.

So we are back to day 1 of making goop. Such is life.  One day you are nurturing a new civilization of little yeast babies, the next day you are brutally killing millions by boiling them in their own fluids.  I told you this could get lethal. On the up side, if my goop starts up again on day 3 I get to make a lot of people angry.
