Sourdough Starter - Day #7

Graduation Day (from Baby school)

 

It’s graduation day!

It’s the final day once daily feeding

For your starter Baby goo paste

Not so much of a Baby anymore

 

Relish in all you have accomplished

What you’ve created

All the wonder

And joy

That parenthood brings

 

You’re just a week away from all the baking goodness!

Seven more days

Just a little more flour and water

And you’re there!

 

Your Baby will be all grown-up

And ready to produce offspring

Breads

Cakes

Cookies

Pancakes

And so much more

 

But don’t get ahead of yourself

We have to get through this last week

We have o get through the…

Teenage days

It’s going to be tough

Your Goo is going to fight and argue with you

But trust me

You will prevail

You can do it

 

Time to celebrate

Your last daily feeding

 

1/3 cup warm water

½ cup flour

Mix until it’s smooth~ish

Cover and let it rest

 

Now get your sleep

You will have to do this again in 12 hours

Tomorrow is twice daily feeding

And throwing some away

 

It will be heartbreaking to part ways

But you can do it

Sometimes you have to let go

To grow

 

Relax, get some sleep

And I will check-in with you tomorrow

 

You’ll feed in the morning and then in the evening

You will have to toss

And feed

 

Until then…
