I gave it a burial down the kitchen drain, and I'm starting over. I think the reason for it dying was that it wasn't established enough yet. After all, it was only 1 day I didn't feed it! I did a pumpernickel with it. It turned out well, but it's lighter than what my wife was thinking when she wanted pumpernickel. It's actually quite good, though, and I'll post on that, after my French country post coming up! As of yet, no charges have been filed by the bakers guild against me for murdering my starter.

I hope it has! Can't wait to see your first loaf from it :) I’m sure your starter has survived… I hope it has! Can’t wait to see your first loaf from it :)

I'm kidding. I've never made bread like this but it sounds really neat. I might have to run out and snag a copy of BBA this weekend! Starter killer!!

I hope not, but I forgot to feed it Sunday; I put more flour and water in it the last 2 nights, and we'll see if it comes back.
