Free To A Good Home

For the last two years, I have lovingly taken care of Herman. I don't know how old he was when I adopted him from my Mother-in-Law. Herman is so giving, but he produces too much offspring for me to handle these days. I just don't have the energy I did when I was younger. I feed him every week, and occasionally he refuses to grow. But he's basically done me good. My family and neighbors gratefully take the offspring home with them.

I'm talking about my Sourdough starter, Herman. I'm not sure how much longer I can keep making bread, especially the 4 loaf weeks. Is there a baker out there willing to adopt my precious Herman? I'll include instructions, which is more than we get with real children.

  1. Chris, you have done an amazing job of nurturing both Herman and all of us who have benefited (deliciously!) from your loving work!

    Wish I had the time to take him on, but I'm sure there is someone out there who will carry on the tradition!
