Maybe it’s still covered by the warranty.

She got the wrong one, this was a non-starter.

Truly an earth shattering event, in the like of a bread maker.

OK, so is that starter for sourdough bread, or kombucha tea?

That makes life sour. Did you forget to feed it?

If at first you don’t succeed try, try again ….

Now it’s a “Stopper.”

Now, it’s an “ender”?

I’m guessing sour dough. I stopped buying any bread that could stay on the counter 2 weeks and not get moldy. IMHO if mold won’t eat it, we probably shouldn’t eat it either. All those bags of sandwich bread can sit for weeks and nothing grows. Publix bakery for this house.

Naan bread.

230 gms starter, 400 gms 105* water, 600 gms bread flour, 20 gms salt. mix, 1 hour later, fold a couple times, one hour later fold a couple more times, one hour later. fold again, put in air tight container in fridge for a day or so…Bake day let rise to double, bake at 500* for 45 min. crack oven door, bake final 15 min at 425. Let cool if you can resist slicing into it….Slather with butter…you’ll never bother buying bread again.

Dead starter? That’s not much of a plot.

Oh, the humanity!

We brought our starter with us when we emigrated from SF. 25 years old and still going strong.

Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya

Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya

Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya

Oh Lord, kumbaya

My Started Died Lord, kumbaya

My Started Died Lord, kumbaya

My Started Died Lord, kumbaya

Oh Lord, kumbayah

They’s no bread today Lord, kumbaya

They’s no bread today Lord, kumbay

They’s no bread today Lord, kumbay

Oh Lord, kumbaya

What shall I do Lord, kumbaya

What shall I do Lord, kumbaya

What shall I do Lord, kumbaya

Oh Lord, kumbaya

Oh Lord, kumbaya

Oh Lord, kumbaya

Oh Lord, kumbaya

Oh Lord, kumbaya

Oh NO!

So, toss it and start all over again!

It’s sealed up in there. It needs to breathe.

My starter died once – I had to get a new solenoid switch… oh… uh… Nevermind!

I’m surprised the starter is just “my starter.” Doesn’t it have a name? Of course then she’d be eating its offspring…. gross!!!

Mine did too. 1977 Olds Vista Cruiser station wagon. December 1992. IGA parking lot, rural KY.

We’ll get going and make a new one….it should rise to the occasion in no time!

Sourdough bakers know this pain….. pain… get it? French for bread… I slay me.

Steve Martin! So nice of you to stop by GoComics.

Let George fix it.

Dough!

A better caption would had been :: ”My Mother died”
