Hugely embarrassing

A brief explanation. I made a mistake.

Last night when I fed my starter I read the recipe wrong. instead of one and a half cups of starter I only used one fourth of a cup. Big, big difference.
I even mixed it two different times because it looked wrong but I convinced myself it was not and went off to bed. This morning however, I knew. It had not risen at all and it didn't look or smell right.

     So I mixed my starter again tonight. Here it is.

  I also fed my German rye starter, and I will admit it is not very promising.

 I have cultivated more then one starter without any yeast however and I am not daunted. I am hoping that soon the pictures will show a bubbly growing starter and you will have seen how little it truly takes to make a wonderful loaf of bread.
    So, baking tomorrow, Lord willing. Good night .
